Pixel-perfect images at any size

Our flags:

  • are vector images that can be shown at any size without becoming blurry
  • are generated by software, not drawn in a graphics package, resulting in tiny file sizes and consistent, pixel-perfect alignment
  • have realistic colours that don’t hurt your eyes (or your printer)
  • include all flags and pennants from the International Code of Signals (ICS) and the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) and more
  • are published in the Public Domain so are free to use for any purpose anywhere without restriction.
