Extremely simple avatars


For basic usage just provide an identifier - A UUID, Floodgate UUID, username or a Minecraft texture ID:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier
For size control, add the desired size in pixels after specifying the username:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier/100
For avatars without the helm element, add /nohelm to the end of any URL:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier/100/nohelm
For a URL with a file extension, you can add a .png at the very end of any URL:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier/100/nohelm.png
If you wish to use a Minecraft Texture to render an avatar, you can simply replace the identifier with the texture ID:

MCHeads caches skins on its servers for 24 hours
Images are also cached in your browser for 2 hours.
