Avatars APIs
These avatar APIs generate a consistent image from a seed, so the same username always gets the same picture, and none of them needs a key. DiceBear offers dozens of styles in SVG or PNG, RoboHash turns any string into a robot, monster or cat, and Crafatar is specific to Minecraft, rendering player heads, skins and capes from a UUID.
