Let’s solve the cold-start problem

Know your users. Instantly.

The moment a user shares their email, access rich profile data including avatars, biographies, interests, verified social media accounts, and more.

Faster onboarding

Skip onboarding steps, leverage existing data rather than requiring users to fill out the same forms over and over again.

Make it personal


Personalize user interactions based on profile data from the first moment on. Use Gravatar’s interests data to power recommendation engines.

Minimal effort

Implement full user profiles with minimal development effort. Gravatar eliminates the need to maintain your own profile management systems.

Sync profile data

Users maintain a consistent identity across all Gravatar-enabled platforms, with profile changes staying in sync everywhere.

Open and free – nothing to lose


Implementation effort is low, data is open, and it’s free. No strings attached. Gravatar is around since 2007.
