What is the format of the generated avatars?

You can select from .svg (Recommended), .png and .jpg.
To use .png and .jpg you will need the GD image library installed to work.

Which format should I use?

The recommended format(.svg) is the best option. This option generates the images with the best quality and the resource required to generate it is very low.
However, there are some cases where you will need to user .png or .jpg, for example, if you’re sending avatar images in your emails.
There is a know issue that email clients like gmail use a proxy to show the images and at this point don’t support .svg format.

How are avatars generated?

The plugin generates the avatar automatically using defined config.
Avatars are generated only once, so your site performance won’t get affected

How are avatars stored?

Avatars are stored in your uploads folder.

Will I be able to select my own letters?

No. The plugin automatically generates the image with the initial letters of your First name and Last name.

Can I use gravatar if the user has one?

Yes. There is an option in plugin settings that allows you to show user gravatar if available instead of letter avatar.

I see a black background in the avatars

Probably you’re using .jpg format to generate a round avatar. This format doesn’t support image transparency.
Use .png format instead.

The plugin works great. You just need to keep track of the number of avatars created. When you delete a user, the avatars remain. Those who have many registrations need to know this. Perhaps the author will solve this issue in the future.

Why this is not a feature in wordpress? Much other nonsense has been added in recent years…. This plugin is must have! Thanks to the options for the settings of colors and number of letters, I can “unfortunately” do not see a reason for feature requests. 😉 Phenomenal!
