Gravatar Lookup
Find anyone's Gravatar profile image from an email address — with size variants and direct URLs.
About This Tool & Technical Logic
Gravatar (Globally Recognized Avatar) maps email addresses to avatar images via MD5 of the normalized address — the same image then appears across millions of WordPress sites, GitHub, and forums.
Enter an email and the tool computes its hash and renders the available avatar at several sizes, from tiny 32px to high-res 512px, plus the direct image URLs. A default placeholder means the address has no Gravatar registered.
avatar URL = gravatar.com/avatar/{md5(trim+lowercase(email))}?s={size}&d=404
How to Use — Step by Step
- 1
Enter the email
Whitespace and case are normalized before hashing — Gravatar hashes are case-insensitive by design.
- 2
Check the result
An image = registered Gravatar; a 404 means none exists. Append size parameters for each use case.
- 3
Copy the URL you need
The direct URL works anywhere: <img> tags, profile imports, comment systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
MD5 here is an identifier, not a security mechanism. Emails aren't secret database keys in this scheme — Gravatar also supports SHA-256 hashes now.
