Avatar generator

User photos, initials fallbacks and record images across list views and headers all use lightning-avatar. Style the fallback background, shape and ring so it works whether or not a photo is available.

Your changes autosave in this browser, and the link above reproduces this exact configuration for anyone you send it to.

Design tips for avatars

  • Design the initials fallback first — most rows in a real org will not have a photo.
  • Use circle for people, rounded-square for non-person records (accounts, assets) to keep the two visually distinct.
  • Keep initials to two characters maximum for legibility at small sizes.
