While GraphicRiver does not require icons to be prepared for particular platforms and interfaces, it is useful information to know when assessing and creating icons:
- PNG files should come in at least one of the common icon scales.
- Scalable PSD and EPS don't need to follow this rule, the customer can scale the designs to their own specifications.
