About this tool

Apps, forums, CRMs and team pages need a picture for every user, even before people upload a photo. This avatar generator creates clean default avatars from a name or email address. The same name always produces the same avatar, so each person gets a consistent, recognisable image.

How to make avatars

  1. Type a name or email, or paste a list with one name per line.
  2. Choose a style: initials, geometric, beam (a friendly face) or pixel art.
  3. Pick the shape: circle, rounded or square, then the size and colors.
  4. Download a single avatar as PNG or SVG, or all of them as a ZIP.

Which style to use

  • Initials: the most familiar, like Gmail and Slack. Clear in small sizes.
  • Geometric: abstract shapes, good when names should not be shown.
  • Beam: simple friendly faces for consumer apps and communities.
  • Pixel: retro 8-bit look for games and developer tools.

Tips

  • SVG stays sharp at any size and is tiny; use PNG where SVG is not accepted.
  • Use at least 256 px for PNG avatars shown on high resolution screens.
  • Keep strong contrast between letters and background so initials stay readable.
  • Generate a whole team at once from a list and use the ZIP for an import.

Need a personal profile picture from a photo instead? Try the profile picture maker or crop a photo into a circle with the round image maker.

Frequently asked questions

Will the same name always give the same avatar?

Yes. Avatars are generated from the text, so the same name or email always produces the same image in a given style.

Can I create many avatars at once?

Yes. Paste one name per line and download all avatars together as a ZIP file.

Which formats can I download?

PNG and SVG. SVG is a small vector file that stays sharp at any size.

Can I use these avatars in my app?

Yes, they are free to use as default or placeholder avatars in websites, apps and documents.

Are the names I type sent anywhere?

No. Avatars are drawn in your browser.

What size should a profile avatar be?

Most platforms display avatars small but recommend uploading 256 to 512 px or more so they look sharp on high resolution screens.
