Identicon Generator
Create a GitHub-style symmetric identicon from any text.
Unique avatars from a string
An identicon turns any string — a username, an email, an IP — into a unique, symmetric block avatar. Because it is deterministic, the same input always produces the same image.
Type any text and it hashes it into a mirrored five-by-five grid with a colour drawn from the same hash, just like the classic GitHub default avatars. Download it as a PNG.
Deterministic and private
The identicon is generated in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an identicon?
A symmetric, pixel-block avatar generated deterministically from text — the default avatars sites like GitHub once used.
Is it always the same for the same input?
Yes. The same text always yields the same identicon, since it is derived from a hash of the input.
How do I save it?
