Gravatar

If Gravatar is enabled, Nhost Auth will use the user’s email address to fetch their Gravatar profile picture. If the user doesn’t have a Gravatar profile picture, a default image will be used.

There are two options for Gravatars.

1

Default Image

If the user doesn’t have a Gravatar profile picture, a default image will be used. You can choose between the following options:

  • 404: Do not load any image if none is associated with the email hash, instead return an HTTP 404 (File Not Found) response.
  • mp: (mystery-person) a simple, cartoon-style silhouetted outline of a person (does not vary by email hash).
  • identicon: a geometric pattern based on an email hash.
  • monsterid: a generated ‘monster’ with different colors, faces, etc.
  • wavatar: generated faces with differing features and backgrounds.
  • retro: awesome generated, 8-bit arcade-style pixelated faces.
  • robohash: a generated robot with different colors, faces, etc.
  • blank: a transparent PNG image.

Rating

Gravatar images are rated by default. You can choose between the following options:

  • g: suitable for display on all websites with any audience type.
  • pg: may contain rude gestures, provocatively dressed individuals, lesser swear words or mild violence.
  • r: may contain such things as harsh profanity, intense violence, nudity, or hard drug use.
  • x: may contain hardcore sexual imagery or extremely disturbing violence.
