Icon Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
-
Why should I use an icon instead of an image?
Icons are vector graphics. This means you have some benefits, but also some downsides when you are using an icon instead of a picture. In case you have complicated graphics, we recommend you to use the Picture (Image) field.
Benefits:
– Fast page load
– An icon will look good at any size scaling (because of the nature of vector image format)
– Icon color can be changed easily (although a vector icon can have a single color)
– Additional decorations can be added to an icon, via CSS (Bold, Italic, Underline, Text shadow, etc.)Downsides:
– Does not support multiple colors
