Gravatar parameter reference

Avatar::create('Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono')->toSvg();

You may specify a custom font family for your SVG text.

<head>
    <!-- Using Google Fonts -->
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inter" rel="stylesheet">

    <!-- OR Setup custom style -->
    <style>
    @font-face {
        font-family: Inter;
        src: url({{ asset('fonts/inter.woff') }});
    }
    </style>
</head>
Avatar::create('Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono')->setFontFamily('Inter')->toSvg();

Avatar::create('Abdul Somad')->getImageObject();

Returns an instance of the Intervention image object, enabling further processing.

The library tries to render initials as supplied. For non-ASCII characters (e.g., ā, Ě), their visibility depends on font support. Alternatively, non-ASCII characters can be converted to their closest ASCII counterparts using Stringy.

Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setDimension(100); // Width = Height = 100 pixels
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setDimension(100, 200); // Width = 100, Height = 200

Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setForeground('#999999');
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setFontSize(72);
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setFont('/path/to/font.ttf');
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setBorder(1, '#aabbcc'); // Size = 1, Color = #aabbcc
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setBorder(1, '#aabbcc', 10); // Border radius = 10 (for SVG only)
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setShape('square');

// Since v3.0.0
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setTheme('colorful'); // Set exact theme
Avatar::create('Soekarno')->setTheme(['grayscale-light', 'grayscale-dark']); // Random theme from options

// Chaining
