Explore sites that provide free icons you can use in your slides. These complement the icons that are available within PowerPoint

Icons are the new “in” thing for visuals. In a world where you need to be neutral all the time, icons are a godsend since they are neutral by nature. Another reason to use icons is that they look great in small sizes, and they also use fewer resources to display. The fact that they go well with contemporary flat and minimal design trends gets you extra brownie points!

On this page, you'll find links to various sites that allow download of free icons. However, do make sure whether the source you choose allows commercial use or not. Some sites allow free downloads only for non-commercial usage while others provide unrestricted use of all icons. You may also want to explore our Icons and Symbols for PowerPoint product that contains 230+ icons and symbols as part of this collection. Each of these icons comes in 8 color variants.
