Pixel Art
Pixel characters with hats, glasses, clothing and accessories.
Install
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.
import { createAvatar } from '@dicebear/core';
import { pixelArt } from '@dicebear/collection';
// “Pixel Art” by DiceBear, CC0 1.0
const avatar = createAvatar(pixelArt, {
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:
import { useMemo } from 'react';
import { createAvatar } from '@dicebear/core';
import { pixelArt } from '@dicebear/collection';
export function UserAvatar({ seed, size = 64 }: { seed: string; size?: number }) {
const src = useMemo(() => createAvatar(pixelArt, { seed, size }).toDataUri(), [seed, size]);
return <img src={src} width={size} height={size} alt={`Avatar for ${seed}`} />;
}
