What is this avatar generator?

It draws a simple initials avatar on an HTML5 <canvas>: a filled shape (circle or rounded rectangle) with one to three letters centered in a contrasting color. You can type initials manually or generate them from a full name, then download a PNG for profiles, placeholders, or internal tools.

How initials are derived

With Derive initials from name enabled, the tool takes the first letter of the first word and the first letter of the last word (by spaces). A single word uses its first two letters. You can turn this off to type any 1–3 characters yourself.

Export sizes

Common UI sizes are 128px (lists), 256px (cards), and 512px (high-DPI or marketing). Pick the size before downloading; the preview scales visually but the file matches the selected pixel dimensions.

Privacy

Images are rendered in your browser. DroidXP does not receive your name, initials, or PNG — use the Download button to save locally.

How to use this tool

  1. Step 1: Enter a name or initials and choose background and text colors.
  2. Step 2: Pick circle or rounded square and an export size.
  3. Step 3: Click Download PNG and use the file in your app or design tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DroidXP upload my avatar?

No. The canvas is drawn in your browser. The PNG is created locally when you download.

Why do my initials look wrong for my locale?

Derivation is a simple Latin-style split on spaces. For names that need different rules, turn off auto-derivation and type the characters you want.

Can I use a photo instead of initials?

This tool only renders text on a solid background. For photos, use an image editor or a dedicated profile photo upload flow in your product.

Is the PNG transparent?

The circle and rounded modes draw an opaque background in your chosen color. There is no alpha channel for “hollow” circles — use your design tool if you need transparency.

What font is used for the letters?

The canvas uses the browser’s default sans-serif font stack (typically system UI fonts). Appearance may vary slightly by OS.

Will this match Slack or GitHub avatars?

Those products use their own pipelines and fonts. This generator is for quick placeholders — not a pixel-perfect match to any third-party style.

Can I get SVG instead of PNG?

This page exports raster PNG from the canvas. For SVG, trace in a vector tool or build an SVG template with the same initials and colors manually.

Are there accessibility concerns?

Ensure text and background meet contrast guidelines for your use case. Very light on light or small text can fail WCAG — test with real users and contrast checkers.

Is this suitable for production user avatars?

Fine for prototypes and internal tools. Production systems often store uploaded images, use a CDN, and enforce moderation — this tool does not replace that pipeline.
