Icons are everywhere, whenever you see 'Magnifying Lens' icon you know it represents Search or whenever you see 'Bell' icon it represents Notifications.
Similarly while preparing PPTs, it is a good practice to include icons along with text, it helps in better understanding & in gaining viewer's attention. Specially, when you are explaining features of your product.
I have created 100s of PPTs & I use icons almost in every presentation. I recommend below 5 websites for free icons:
1. Flaticon
