How to use it
Type a country name into the search box in English or its native spelling — searching "France" works just as well as typing the country's own local name. If you're not sure where to look, use the continent tabs (Asia, Europe, Africa, Americas, Oceania) to narrow things down. Once you find the flag you want, just click the "PNG" or "SVG" button — the image downloads instantly with no page reload. Country names are also automatically shown in your browser's language.
