About the Avatar Initials Generator
Initials avatars are what every application shows when a user has not uploaded a photograph, and the detail that makes them work is that the colour comes from the name — so the same person is always the same colour, everywhere, without storing anything.
That is how these are generated: the name is hashed and the hash picks a colour from a palette chosen for legible contrast against white text. Shape, size, font weight and corner radius are all adjustable, initials can be one letter or two, and a batch mode turns a pasted list of names into a ZIP of avatars — which is how you seed a demo or a design mockup with a hundred plausible users.
Key features of the Avatar Initials Generator
Colour from the name
Hashed rather than random, so the same person gets the same colour everywhere without anything being stored.
Legible palettes
The colours are chosen for contrast against white text, so the initials are always readable.
Any shape
Circle, rounded square or square, with adjustable radius, size and font weight.
Batch from a list
Paste a hundred names and get a hundred avatars as a ZIP, which is how a demo gets populated.
One or two initials
Two for a full name, one for a single word — configurable, since three become unreadable at avatar sizes.
