About
DiceBear turns any seed (a username, email, or any text) into a unique cartoon avatar in dozens of styles: pixel art, cute faces, robots, identicons, and more. The same seed always produces the same avatar, so each user gets a consistent identity. The shared public API is free, and if you ever outgrow it you can run it yourself with their open-source Docker image.
