Top 3 resources to get assets for your website...

Hello, world! In this article, I'm gonna walk you through a few useful resources from where you can get assets for your website.
An illustration about web dev.

This article does not intend to make use of unnecessary affiliates, advertisements or any kind of misleading content. These are based on my personal interest.

#1 Unsplash

Unsplash is a great asset library for high-resolution images and illustrations. They provide us with free images that can be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, without any kind of attribution.

#2 Icons8

Icons8 is a plethora of web assets that you can use for free for your web project, though it might require some kind of attribution.



Now, when I say web assets, I mean it all - yeah, Icons8 does contain a wide variety of icons, images, illustrations, design softwares, clipart, music, image enhancement tools, PBR textures, face generators, audio editors and many more.


While I personally use Google's Material Icons for icons on web apps, I use Icons8's icons as favicons.

#3 FreeSound

Since FreeSound is an audio asset library, it is not specific to web only, but any branch of computer science that deals with sound (Remember: By the term audio assets, I mean sound effects and not music). I frequently use this resource for searching sound effects for video editing, game dev, etc. While there are millions of resources out there that can provide you with free music, I couldn't find a better resource for sound effects than FreeSound.

Visit FreeSound at https://freesound.org/.
