Icotar generates simple, playful avatars for your app or website. Based on the lovable avatars from Yik Yak, each avatar consists of a colorful background and a recognizable symbol. All colors and icons are hand-picked from Material Design.
Setting up Icotars is easy with a simple and free HTTP API that you can use without an account!
Generate colorful, customizable initials for any name on the fly!
Icotar images may be requested just like a normal image. Our HTTP-API is based on the system built by the fine folks at Gravatar.
The most basic image request URL looks like this:
https://icotar.com/avatar/:hash
Where :hash is replaced with anything you like. But don't use any sensitive or personal data here! For example, here is a base URL:
https://icotar.com/avatar/craig
All avatars are served as SVG files by default. If you require a file-type extension then you can add an optional .svg extension to that URL:
https://icotar.com/avatar/craig.svg
Icotar also supports PNG files:
https://icotar.com/avatar/craig.png
By default, PNG images are presented at 80px by 80px if no size parameter is supplied. You may request a specific image size, which will be dynamically delivered from Icotar by using the s= or size= parameter and passing a single pixel dimension (since Icotars are square):
https://icotar.com/avatar/craig.png?s=200
You may request images anywhere from 1px up to 1024px.
All URL requests should start with HTTPS.
