How to use Identicon

  1. 1. Type a seed. Email, user id, or any string.
  2. 2. Preview the PNG. Color comes from the hash.
  3. 3. Download. 256×256 PNG.
  4. 4. No Gravatar network. Canvas only.

About this tool

Identicons turn a string into a recognizable geometric avatar. This one hashes the seed with SHA-256 and paints a 5×5 mirrored grid on canvas so fixtures do not depend on a third-party avatar CDN.

Bulk

One seed at a time. A bulk pack is not in this version.

Privacy

If the seed is an email, it still never leaves the tab — but anyone with the PNG cannot reverse SHA-256.
