# DiceBear

> Deterministic avatar generation API producing SVG and PNG profile pictures from a seed string across 30+ art styles.

Deterministic avatar generation API producing SVG and PNG profile pictures from a seed string across 30+ art styles. Best for generating consistent user avatars, placeholder images, and visual identifiers without storing image assets. Unlike Replicas (interactive AI personas) or Keyframe Labs (video avatars), DiceBear generates static profile images — lightweight and stateless.

1 example endpoint available through Lava's AI Gateway. See the [DiceBear API docs](https://www.dicebear.com/how-to-use/http-api/) for full documentation.
