A small JavaScript library that generates GitHub-style identicon images from hash strings, outputting PNG or SVG formats. It supports customization of size, margin, colors, saturation, and brightness.
Use cases
- generate default avatars for users without profile pictures
- create deterministic identicon images from hash values
- render GitHub-style identicons as PNG or SVG in the browser
- generate identicons server-side in Node.js
- customize identicon colors, size, and margins
When to choose
- you need GitHub-style identicons in a JavaScript app
- you want lightweight client-side or server-side avatar generation from hashes
- you need both PNG and SVG output formats
When to avoid
- you need identicons in a non-JavaScript language
- you need photo-based or AI-generated avatars
- you need exact GitHub-identical identicons from usernames (GitHub uses internal database identifiers, not username hashes)
