Placeholder Avatar Generator

Build a consistent sample member list

Use a short label such as AP, JD or a single Japanese character when profile photos are unavailable. The generator renders the characters you enter; it does not look up a person, create a portrait or extract initials automatically. Choose synthetic labels when sharing a prototype.

Set the size, shape and colors

1. Enter a short label. Long labels become smaller; input is limited to 12 text units.
2. Choose a size from 16 to 1,000 px and a circle or rounded square.
3. Leave the background hex field blank to choose a color from the label, or enter a color with the picker.
4. Choose SVG or PNG, then copy the URL or save the file after generation.

Check the avatar at its displayed size

A label that is readable at 128 px may be too small in a 24 px list row. Check contrast and text at the actual displayed size. Japanese SVG rendering depends on the receiving device’s fonts; PNG fixes the rendered pixels. Large PNGs can exceed the API response limit. Reduce the size or use SVG if you receive a size error. If the image repeats a name already written beside it, consider an empty alt attribute to avoid reading the name twice. For a larger member list, combine avatars with synthetic user records.
