How to install

Run pip install dicebear
If that doesn't work try py -m pip install dicebear


Usage

Important note: Pillow is not a required dependency, it's only required when you want to be able to edit the avatar images (using DAvatar.pillow()). When using a PIL function while it's not installed it will raise dicebear.errors.PILError.

import PIL.Image  
from dicebear import DAvatar, DStyle, DOptions, DColor, bulk_create  
  
  
# Creating options  
options = DOptions(  
 backgroundColor=DColor("00ddd0"), rotate=90)  
  
  
# Making a DAvatar object  
av = DAvatar(  
 style=DStyle.pixel_art, seed="John Apple", options=options)  
print(av.url_svg) # Prints the svg url  
  
  
# Editing the DAvatar object  
av.edit(  
 extra_options=DOptions(backgroundColor=DColor("000000")))  
# Using `extra_options` keep the `rotate` option but override the `backgroundColor` option  
  
print(av.url_jpg) # Prints the jpg url  
  
  
# Editing the style specific customisations  
av.customise(  
 blank_options={ "face": "variant04" })  
# Using `blank_options` will delete your previous customisations for this DAvatar and generate new ones  
  
print(av.url_svg) # Prints the svg url  
  
  
# Converting the DAvatar object into a PIL.Image.Image object  
av_img: PIL.Image.Image = av.pillow()  
  
  
# Opening and viewing the DAvatar image  
av.open(use_pil=True) # or av.view()  
  
  
# Creating multiple random avatars of the same style at once  
avatars: list = bulk_create(style=DStyle.random(), amount=10)  

CLI Usage

Since version 0.4.0 there's a CLI for DiceBear. It can quickly create one or more avatars at a time but it can't take options.

To use the CLI go to https://github.com/jvherck/dicebear-cli and use pip install dicebear-cli to install the CLI

Base Options

All the possible options for the avatar. These options work for all the styles.

  • flip (type: bool) - flips the image vertically (default False)
  • rotate (type: int) - rotates the avatar (default 0, min 0, max 360)
  • scale (type: int) - the scale of the avatar drawing itself (default 100, min 0, max 200)
  • radius (type: int) - the radius of the avatar (default 0, min 0, max 50)
  • size (type: int) - the size of the avatar (px) (default 256, min 1, max 256)
  • backgroundColor (type: DColor("transparent") ) - the background color of the avatar. this can be a list of strings if you have backgroundType set to "gradientLinear". (default transparent)
  • backgroundType (type: str ) - set the background to either gradientLinear or solid (default solid)
  • backgroundRotation (type: int ) - rotate the background if backgroundType is set to gradientLinear (default 0)
  • translateX (type: int) - move the avatar horizontally (default 0, min -100, max 100)
  • translateY (type: int) - move the avatar vertically (default 0, min -100, max 100)

Specific Style Options

Specific options to get a more detailed avatar. This is different for every style.
Click the style to see its options.

Formats

These are the only supported formats.
If you have Pillow (PIL) installed you can convert DAvatar to a PIL.Image.Image object to get a wider range of formats (Pillow doesn't support svg).

  • DFormat.svg (default)
  • DFormat.png
  • DFormat.jpg
  • DFormat.json
