01 — Overview

How it works

Type a name, email, or any seed string and get a consistent avatar for it. Three styles: initials (with auto-colored backgrounds), geometric (gradient + shape), and identicon (5×5 mirrored pattern, GitHub-style). Output is SVG for crisp scaling.

04 — FAQ

Frequently asked

Yes. The seed is hashed and used to drive color and shape choices, so the same input always produces the same avatar — useful for fallback rendering in a production app.
