Gradiavatar is a simple tool to generate a gradient avatar from a string.

The homepage of the project is a simple interactive mode where you can enter a string and see the result.

You can customize some of the options, such as the gradient mode (linear or radial), the gradient direction or offset and the presence of the text string's initial letter.

The API provides two endpoints:

• /linear/[str] to generate a linear gradient avatar
• /radial/[str] to generate a radial gradient avatar

You can pass the following parameters to the query string:

• size (default: 256): the size of the image in pixels
• initial (default: false): whether to display the initial letter of the string

For linear gradients, you can also pass the following parameter:

• direction (default: diagonal): the direction of the gradient, which can be one of the following values: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, antidiagonal

For radial gradients, you can also pass the following parameter:

• offset (default: northeast): the offset of the gradient from the center of the circle, which can be one of the following values: north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest

Both endpoints return a simple SVG image.
