DiceBear

About DiceBear

DiceBear is an open source avatar library and API that generates deterministic SVG avatars from a seed string such as a username, email, or ID. The same seed always produces the same avatar across platforms. It offers 52 avatar styles, ranging from hand-drawn characters and pixel art to abstract patterns and icons, some created by independent artists and others designed by the DiceBear team.

Avatars can be generated through an HTTP API or through libraries for JavaScript, PHP, Python, Rust, Go, and Dart, as well as a CLI. A no-code avatar maker and a browser-based editor are also available for creating and customizing avatars without writing code, with output downloadable as PNG. A Figma plugin lets users design custom avatar styles visually and export them as ready-to-use packages.

The core library is MIT licensed, and individual avatar styles carry their own licenses (including CC0, CC BY 4.0, and free-for-personal-and-commercial-use terms) depending on the original artist. Typical use cases include user profile pictures, chat application participants, gaming player identities and NPCs, forum member avatars, team collaboration tools, and placeholder images for accounts without an uploaded photo.
