As a frontend developer, you have probably struggled to find images, svgs or icons to add to your application and sometimes the images you have are of high resolution that it takes a lot of time to paint when the website renders thus hindering website's performance or couldn't find high quality images. Here are five(5) resources which you might need while developing your application.
1. Free Icons
Icons are known to express some information while providing good UI. These are used in many websites and as a frontend developer you probably need them in any website you'll be making. Here are some free icons resources.
- Font Awesome: Font awesome
- Bootstrap icons: Bootstrap icons
2. Free SVG illustration
Svg are essential part of modern websites and we no longer need to create them from scratch using html/css or other design tools like figma.
3. Free High Quality Images
If you are wondering where to get free high quality images for your backgrounds, nature, people etc here are good sources
NB: These images are of high resolution which can hinder the performance of your website but luckily there are tools for that! π
4. Free image resolution compressor
These tools will compress your images to reduce resolution and thus helps better your site's performance without affecting image quality.
5. Remove Background
Lets look at this image
I wanna put it somewhere in my website where the pink color will result into bad UI, Removing the pink background and decide to add my own or just put it without background will be better solution, but I don't know photoshop - here is where I go
- Remove.bg: Remove.bg
Hope these resources save you a lot effort, happy coding!! π
