Where do people find icons?

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

If 你 ever find an image 你 want to be an 图标 I could always make it for you. XD Ive made probably near a thousand 或者 so 图标由 now. I really enjoy making them

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

你 can get 更多 creative with it the 更多 your practice too

I usually used link to 编辑 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 或者你 could just find someone who posts a lot of 图标 that are up for grabs. Like I doubt any of my interest overlaps with yours, but i honestly have like a thousand 图标发布 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 图标 !!!!

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

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

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

then, 你 crop the rest of the image to the small portion 你 wanted! if 你 want, 你 can use some 照片 editing program 或者 site, like pizap, pixlr, 或者 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 照片 viewer I downloaded that doubles as an editor as well. The one I have currently isn't created 由 me though.

Here's one I did create.
