CLI
With the CLI you can create thousands of avatars in no time!
Installation
Make sure you have Node.js and NPM installed.
npm install dicebear --globalUpgrade
For the latest features and avatar styles, make sure you update the CLI regularly.
npm install dicebear --globalUsage
Create an avatar
Replace <style> with an avatar style name (camelCase) and [outputPath] with a target directory. If [outputPath] is omitted, the current directory is used as target directory.
dicebear <style> [outputPath]For example, to create an avatar with the lorelei avatar style, use the following command:
dicebear lorelei .INFO
We provide a large number of avatar styles from different designers. The designs are licensed under different licenses that the designers can choose themselves. Some licenses require attribution. For a quick overview we have created an license overview for you.
Create multiple avatars
You can also create multiple avatars at once! Just use the --count option. Replace <count> with the number of avatars to create.
dicebear <style> [outputPath] --count <count>WARNING
The seed option has no effect in combination with the count option. If count is greater than 1, random values are generated and used as seed to make the avatars differ from each other.
Passing options
You can find out what options are available with --help. Besides the options provided by the avatar styles, there are the following additional options:
--count Defines how many avatars to create. [number]
--format [string] [choices: "svg", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "json"]
--exif Include Exif Metadata [boolean]
--json Save JSON file in addition to image file [boolean]As you can see, you can also create the avatars in a format other than SVG. For example, to create a PNG avatar of the avatar style lorelei, use the following command:
dicebear lorelei . --format pngShow help
For each command you can ask for help.
