DiceBear is an open source avatar library that deterministically converts seed strings (usernames, emails, IDs) into customizable SVG avatars across 61 styles. It ships as native libraries for JavaScript, PHP, Python, Rust, Go, Dart, and C#, plus an HTTP API, CLI, and Figma plugin.

Use cases

• generate profile pictures from usernames without user uploads
• create deterministic avatars for user identities
• add placeholder avatars to a web app
• generate avatars server-side in Go or PHP matching the browser output
• batch-generate avatars from the command line
• embed avatars via URL without installing anything
• design custom avatar styles in Figma

When to choose

• you need consistent, privacy-friendly avatars without storing or uploading images
• you want scalable lightweight SVG output across multiple languages with identical results
• you need many style options and fine-grained customization
• you want a self-hostable, MIT-licensed avatar solution

When to avoid

• you need photorealistic or user-uploaded profile images
• you require raster formats like PNG/JPEG as the primary output
• your project needs avatars generated from actual photos or face detection
