Made for Kalendars.
The faces on your plans.

In Kalendars

Everyone you plan with gets a Kuberdon. Make your own yours: the colour, the eyes, the mouth, an extra and the pose.

Sofie’s page in Kalendars: her Kuberdon, the plan you share, and buttons to call, message or WhatsApp her.

How to use it

One URL. No sign-up.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes, the Kuberdons are free to use, with no sign-up and no API key. The code is MIT and the artwork is CC BY 4.0.

Can I use them in a commercial product?

Yes. Credit them as “Kuberdons by Kuberdon”, for example in your footer or credits. That is all CC BY 4.0 asks.

Does the same name always give the same Kuberdon?

Yes, on every device and in every language, for as long as v1 exists. A new look ships as v2 at a new URL, so v1 never changes.

Do you store the names I send?

No. The editor on this site draws in your browser, so what you type is not sent anywhere. The CDN, once it is live, draws the picture from the URL and keeps no list of seeds. Send a hash of an email or user id instead of the raw value.

Who made them?

Kuberdon, in Leuven, Belgium. They started as the app icons of Kalendars.
