facehash: Generate Deterministic Avatar Faces in React

facehash: a React component that generates deterministic avatar faces from any string: emails, usernames, UUIDs, or any identifier your app already uses.

Key features:

  • Same input string always produces the same face
  • Next.js route handler for PNG and SVG avatar URLs, cached permanently
  • Fully offline-capable, all rendering is local
  • Complete TypeScript types and ARIA accessibility by default
  • Custom color palettes, 3D shading levels, and animated blinking

Great for user profile pages, chat apps, comment sections, and AI agent dashboards. Zero network dependency at render time.
