Why buy icons?
Like other sites, Fixicon enables you to download some small series of icons for free. We also propose to you to download other paying icons, but this isn't obligatory. You are free to benefit from the free services available on Fixicon. The sale of the complete sets enables us to continue to make these icons, because the making of these icons is very long (sometime several hours for an icon !), and each icon is a true illustration.
Thank you to appreciate and respect our work.
