What is Lorem Faces?
Lorem Faces is a free, AI-powered API that generates placeholder avatars for developers and designers. It provides drop-in profile pictures for prototypes, mockups, and design projects without requiring any signup or API key. Simply use a URL to fetch an avatar in your preferred size, ranging from 24px to 256px. The API offers five distinct AI-generated faces that are consistent—the same face ID always returns the same image, making it ideal for creating consistent user personas in prototypes. These images do not represent real people, ensuring privacy and simplicity.
Key features include pre-generated sizes (24px, 42px, 48px, 96px, 128px, 256px) and a straightforward URL-based API. For legacy compatibility, the endpoint `/{size}/random.jpg` resolves to a fixed fallback image, but for actual variety, you can select an ID from 1–5 in your application code. This makes Lorem Faces perfect for rapid prototyping, UI mockups, and demo applications where you need realistic-looking avatars without the hassle of managing real user data.
Use cases include web development, mobile app design, and any project requiring placeholder user images. Technical details: the API is RESTful, returns JPEG images, and supports direct URL embedding in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. It integrates seamlessly with popular frameworks like React, Vue 3, Next.js, Svelte, Angular, and Astro. Additionally, Lorem Faces offers a network of 12 dofollow backlinks for indie makers, and provides access to premium databases with over 130,000 ideas for SaaS builders. Whether you're building a quick mockup or a full-fledged prototype, Lorem Faces simplifies the process of adding placeholder avatars.
