Few sample icons from iOS 7 icons pack

What is the license for the icons?
Royalty-free. You can use the icons for your applications, but please do not resale. Please let us know if you need copyright transfer form emailed, faxed or sent by snail mail.

What sizes are included?
All standard sizes are included: 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48 and 256x256.

You can download our Free Icon Set to fit it to your application or use icons as placeholders.

Is BMP format available?
Nope. Although Microsoft suggests BMP strips for the toolbars, all us customers met some problems with truecolor BMP strips, either us or third party ones.

To check if BMP strips will work with your development tools, please download the sample. In Windows XP, icons should have very clean look on any background, without sharp edges.

Icons should look fine on any background

Why it's so expensive? There are $30 collections of thousands icons on other sites.
Our icons are:
  1. Copyright-clean
    There are some icons on the market, grabbed from Microsoft applications. First, Microsoft prohibits it. Second, you can do it by yourself for free with one of shareware icon grabbers. To learn more about copyrights and grabbing software, please check

    • Vista icons links

  2. High quality
    Quality is about lighting, shape, texture and composition of the pictured objects. You can't tell why exactly most stock icon collections suck, but it's about drawing knowledge and icon design experience. We pay much attention for each detail of the icon, and it pays in orders from such companies as Motorola, VeriSign and General Electric. We've made the icon for US Army and Europol even.
  3. Made for real use
    Many free collections have funny icons made of photos or general artworks. They are nice when large, but wash away to nothing when scaled down to 32x32, not to say about 16x16. Our icons are presented in a size around 32x32 and look sharp and readable.


I have ordered the icons but the download failed.
No worries. The download link keeps working for 30 days since the day of purchase. If you've lost your download link, please email to with your order number so we can help.

Can I have icon X to the library Y?
We keep updating the libraries from time to time; however, feel free to order custom icons missing for your software or web site. These icons are made by the same icon artists as stock libraries, so your icon set looks consistent. Alternatively, if you're going to order custom icons, you can cut the budget with stock icons.

Can I have the icon X without buying the whole set?
Separate icons are available for $40 apiece, please email to .
