Word of warning upfront: The content of this wiki was mostly taken over from the original libravatar wiki. There might be outdated information and/or dead links - please don't hesitate to [contact us](contact) in case you see any issues.
iVatar is a free service and an [open specification](api) for hosting profile images tied to email or OpenID addresses. It's rewritten from scratch in 2018, when the original author ([François Marier](https://launchpad.net/~fmarier)[^1]) of **libravatar** (*"Libre Avatar"*) decided to close the service for various reasons. TODO: Link here.
