Memory Card / Recording Media (Rectangle) Free Icons | Vector Assets

A Robust Pro Spec, Different from SD Cards. “Rectangular Memory Card” Free Material

A memory card icon with a solid rectangular form, without the “diagonal corner cut” seen on SD cards. This symbolizes “CompactFlash (CF cards)” favored by professional photographers, the slightly nostalgic “memory cards for game consoles,” or “PC cards” used in industrial machinery. In contrast to the light image of SD cards, it is a design that can express the “robustness” and “professionalism” of data, or the profound feel of a “retro recording medium.”

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This material is active in scenes where you want to point to a specific format, from spec sheets for camera equipment to decorating game blogs.

• For “Supported Media” Notation for DSLR Cameras and Professional Video Cameras
  As an icon indicating support for “CF cards” and “CFexpress” in addition to an SD card slot in a camera’s spec sheet or a rental equipment catalog. By placing it next to an SD card icon, you can visually and clearly convey that it is a dual-slot (two-card) compatible machine, or high-end equipment for professionals.
• For “Save Data” Icons in Retro Games and Emulators
  As an icon indicating “Memory Card” or “Save Data Management” in the UI of archive distributions or blogs dealing with nostalgic game consoles like the PlayStation. An SD card shape conjures the image of “Smartphones or Switch,” but this rectangular icon can evoke “the physical cards from back then” to veteran gamers, enabling a nostalgic production.
• For “Slot / Interface” Guidance of PC Peripherals and Expansion Cards
  As a diagram of a PC card reader or an expansion slot (PC card / ExpressCard) of a notebook PC. Although they have decreased recently, there is still demand in maintenance manuals for industrial PCs and older systems. When issuing instructions like “Please insert the card here,” using an accurately shaped icon prevents operational errors so it is not confused with an SD card.
• For the “List of Supported Media” of Data Recovery Services
  On the website of a service that rescues data from damaged media, as an icon for a list to appeal that “Old media and special cards are also supported.” By adding this “other card” in addition to SD, microSD, and USB memory, you can appeal the breadth of technical capability and the reliability of accepting any media.
• As a “Chip” Image for IC Cards and Electronic Circuit Boards
  It can also be applied as an abstract image of a square “IC chip” or “expansion board,” not limited to specific media. By placing it as a metaphor for an authentication card or storage added to a server in a system configuration diagram of IT infrastructure, you can express how the system is expanded by physical hardware.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

Completely free for both commercial and personal use. In addition to PNG and SVG that can be used immediately on the web, we also provide EPS data that is easy to process to match your design as a set.

By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can elaborate the design according to specific standards. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, you can quickly turn it into a realistic “CompactFlash” by lining up many small holes (pinholes) at the bottom, or a “memory card for games” by putting a label on top.
Also, by changing the color to “gold” or “black” and putting numbers like “128GB” on the surface, it can also be used as an image of expensive, high-performance next-generation media (like CFexpress Type B).
