Hi all,

I'm on the prowl for a really nice professionally looking checkmark icon I can use instead of bullets.

Everything I found is either cheap & grungy looking, or the site ropes me into a million popups & god knows what else.

Does anyone know where I can get a nice simple small black one for free?

Thanks & have a great Sunday :)

Good thread — nice quick samples from and and a handy PNG from . For a clean, professional look that stays crisp at tiny sizes, use a single SVG checkmark as the source of truth: it scales without blur, is trivial to recolor, and can be inlined for pixel-perfect alignment. See the SVG overview for why vectors are preferable to bitmaps. (developer.mozilla.org)

If downloading ready-made icons is preferable to drawing your own, pick from permissively licensed sets so you avoid popups or odd terms. Good, modern choices are Heroicons (MIT), Feather (MIT) and Google Material Icons (Apache 2.0) — each supplies tidy SVG checkmarks that can be copied and adapted. Use the SVG directly or export raster fallbacks at the sizes you need. (github.com)

Practical workflow: grab one SVG checkmark, open it in a vector editor (Inkscape, Illustrator, or your app of choice), set a consistent viewBox and stroke/weight for the target size, then export PNGs at 16/24/32px and 2x retina variants. Name files clearly (for example icon-check-16.png and icon-check-32@2x.png) and, if embedding inline, use currentColor in the SVG so the mark inherits text color for easy recoloring. Test at actual page sizes and different contrasts to confirm legibility.

Licensing note: some marketplaces (for example The Noun Project) let you download free icons but may require attribution unless you license the icon — check terms before public or commercial use. For a simple site swap from bullets to checks, a single, recolorable SVG gives the best control and lowest maintenance going forward. (help.thenounproject.com)

What size do you need? Does something like this work?

If you want something different, I can probably make one for you.

That one is ok for some stuff I'm realizing, but I also wanted something a bit bigger like the red ones on this site...

You just need to scroll down.

Can you send me the little black one in the meantime? I'm realizing I may need red to complement the new site.

Thanks soooo much :)

If you have Photoshop, just click on the Shape tool. Then use the little dropdown thing to install all of the preset cookie cutter shapes. There are a few premade checkmark vector shapes. Which of course you can then completely customize using Photoshop effects to your hearts content.
