Where do people find icons?

Oh most of us that change it so often make the icone ourselves.

If te ever find an image te want to be an icona I could always make it for you. XD Ive made probably near a thousand o so icone da now. I really enjoy making them

But essentially te cerca up whatever te want an icona of, te find an image that te think would make a good icon, take it to some kind of editting software (or paint if te dont plan to do much to it), and at the very least, crop the image to be the size te need it to be (square)

te can get più creative with it the più your practice too

I usually used link to modifica and crop and all cause its like Photoshop but online free and has no downloads. Not as good as Photoshop but definitely plenty enough.

Either that o te could just find someone who posts a lot of icone that are up for grabs. Like I doubt any of my interest overlaps with yours, but i honestly have like a thousand icone postato in my club that I say anyone is allowed to use as long as they credit it in the gallery

Pixlr is the one I use as well. There are a lot of good editors though.

Well, most of the time I find them ready on the web but when there isn't a specific one I want, I just download the image and crop the outer parts making the icona !!!!

most of the time, i usually use google. for example: "_____ icon", but there's a likely chance that te won't get what te want. a good example would be for certain games, like Overwatch o Witcher. if te cerca "overwatch icons", a majority of the results would be in-game buttons o player icons, when te wanted something specific.

usually, when i don't get the results i want, i cerca something different, like "overwatch tracer" o find screencaps/fanart of a certain thing te want (permission might be needed if te cerca for fanart). if te find something te like, use it!

if te like the entire image, and feel like it's good enough to use as an icon, then there's your icon!

although, if there's a small portion of the image te like, crop it! i know people might use pixlr o some other kind of photoshop, but i just use ms paint because that's easier for me. if te use ms paint, and the small portion te like ISN'T in the top-left corner, then use "select" (drop-down menu) on the editing toolbar, and choose "select all" which allows te to sposta the image and resize (but i don't recommend te to resize in ms paint because it usually ends up losing it's quality). te always have to sposta what te like to the top-left corner for some reason.

then, te crop the rest of the image to the small portion te wanted! if te want, te can use some foto editing program o site, like pizap, pixlr, o picmonkey (i mostly like picmonkey, but it has a watermark, so leave a little bit of a white uncropped area on the picture, and then crop that part out)

hope this helped, and i hope it wasn't too complicated!

Riku pretty much summed it up but. I either use Livejournal, Tumblr,Photobucket,etc for my icons.

Sometimes I make them. I have a pretty cool foto viewer I downloaded that doubles as an editor as well. The one I have currently isn't created da me though.

Here's one I did create.
