Square Face Icon Generator

Key Features Minimalist Design: The icons follow a consistent "square face" aesthetic that is easy to recognize even at very small sizes (like in a forum thread or a chat notification). Customization: Instead of uploading an image, you build the icon by selecting different layers, including skin tone, hair styles, eye shapes, mouth expressions, and backgrounds. Privacy-Focused: The tool generally runs entirely in your browser. There is no requirement to create an account, sign in, or provide personal information to download your icon. "Avatar Protocol": More recently, the project has been described as a "tiny protocol" for consistent avatars. This means developers can represent an entire avatar using a small piece of data (like a JSON string) rather than a heavy image file, making it very efficient for apps and games to store and render user icons.
