Is @usespaceui/avatars free?

Yes. It is free and open source under the MIT license, for commercial or personal projects, with no attribution required.

How are the avatars generated?

Each avatar is derived deterministically from its seed via a hashing function, so the same seed always yields the same result. Nothing is stored and no network request is made.

Can it render anything besides gradients?

Yes. Choose from gradient, fluid, classic, and paletteless families. Every variant renders deterministically from its seed.

Does it make network requests?

No. Avatars render locally as self-contained SVGs. Nothing is uploaded, sent to a remote service, or stored.

Can I use it in Vue, Solid, Svelte or vanilla JS?

Yes. Although the React component is the most popular entry point, the underlying @usespaceui/avatars library provides a framework-agnostic createAvatar function that works in any JavaScript environment. It returns a self-contained SVG string or JSON payload.
