Gravatar

Your Free Profile For The Web

Gravatar is a free avatar and profile service by Automattic that links a global avatar and profile to an email address. It solves the problem of maintaining a consistent online identity across platforms by letting users update their avatar and profile once and have those changes appear wherever Gravatar is used. Profiles can include social links, a portfolio, a website, and other relevant links, and can be made private or shared selectively. Multiple profiles can be created using different email addresses for work, personal, or anonymous use.

For developers, Gravatar offers profiles-as-a-service with a REST API, SDKs, and tutorials for integrating verified user profiles, avatars, and social links into applications. The service also provides a one-page link-in-bio site with custom domain support, where a domain can be registered through WordPress.com and mapped to the profile. Gravatar is available as a free service for individual users, with a WordPress plugin and developer dashboard and docs also available.
