An avatar illustration system with shirts, earrings and facial hair.

## Install

```bash
npm install @dicebear/core@9.4.2 @dicebear/collection@9.4.2
```

## Generate an avatar

The same seed always produces the same avatar, so a user ID or username works as a seed. Avatars are generated locally without a network service.

```ts
import { createAvatar } from '@dicebear/core';
import { micah } from '@dicebear/collection';

// “Avatar Illustration System” by Micah Lanier, CC BY 4.0 — credit the author where the avatar is used.
const avatar = createAvatar(micah, {
  seed: 'Aria Chen',
  size: 128,
  radius: 50,
});

export const svg = avatar.toString();     // inline SVG markup
export const dataUri = avatar.toDataUri(); // use as an <img> src
```

React component:

```tsx
import { useMemo } from 'react';
import { createAvatar } from '@dicebear/core';
import { micah } from '@dicebear/collection';

export function UserAvatar({ seed, size = 64 }: { seed: string; size?: number }) {
  const src = useMemo(() => createAvatar(micah, { seed, size }).toDataUri(), [seed, size]);
  return <img src={src} width={size} height={size} alt={`Avatar for ${seed}`} />;
}
```
