While Microsoft PowerPoint allows it’s users to insert icons and videos, there are certain restrictions put into place that one has to adhere to in order to successfully place in icons. Here are 5 Microsoft PowerPoint resources for icons that can be used to make the process smoother and relatively fuss free:
- Sourcing services
The Clip Art feature is no longer available when it comes to newer versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, so looking for build in art would be impossible. What you can do however, is make use of services like GetMyGraphic, which allows you access to custom-built graphics that are designed for Microsoft PowerPoint. While you may be required to pay for the service, these graphics can be reused countless of times on account of relevancy and quality.
- Editing
When there comes a time that you will need to make subtle edits to your icons, you can do so without the use of expensive softwares! Free online versions like Pixlr are available to everyone for basic photo editing. What’s notable about Pixlr is that it not only has an online version, it can also be accessed through mobile as well. Familiarise yourself with the interface and retain your icon quality even after you have made changes to it with Pixlr today!
- Quality
If quality is something you prioritise, then sites like Negative Space and Pixabay are the right Microsoft PowerPoint resources for you. These sites are ideal since they possess a repertoire of differently categorised image icons and vector icons that are completely copyright free and downloadable so you can have a sense of security while using them. Not only are you gaining access to quality material, you won’t even have to increase overall expenditure- it does not get any better than that!
- Format
Freepik is also another one of the most effective Microsoft PowerPoint resources that one can use. With an entire database of trendy icons in many different formats (Vectors, PSD files and more), it enables easy downloading and even editing for users when they download the material. Freepik does require credit for the use of their material, so that is one area that has to be taken note of when you do.
- Basic
If you are more inclined to stick to the traditional icon styles, you can give Iconmonstr, IcoMoon and FindIcons a try. These three are ideal when it comes to searching for easy to use, simplistic and traditional icon layouts that are crisp and high quality. Some of these may require credit, but downloads are mostly free. In addition, FindIcons also gives you the ability to filter your search and locate the vector icons you require with ease.
These are 5 Microsoft PowerPoint resources that are catered solely to icons. Regardless of the type of icons you have, quality is something that is highly prized. These 5 resources can serve to improve your icon making/searching process a great deal. Try these resources out today for yourself!
