Discover Gravatar Profiles Easily with Gravaton
Gravaton, the Gravatar Profile Fetcher, can be a powerful asset in your OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) investigation toolkit. This tool provides unique insights when researching email addresses, often a starting point in many investigations.
Gravaton lets you easily find and update your Gravatar profile with just a few clicks. This simple tool connects you with the information tied to your email across the internet. Let’s explore what makes Gravaton useful and how you can make the most of it.
Gravatar stands for Globally Recognized Avatar. It is a free service where people can link their email address to a profile.
Many people use Gravatar with their emails for blog comments, WordPress sites, and online forums. When they use the same email on these sites, their Gravatar photo and profile show up.
Why Does Gravaton Matter?
Gravatar helps people create an online identity. If you’re active online, having a Gravatar profile means your name, photo, and links show up wherever you use your email. It’s a way of saying, “Hey, this is me!” across the internet.
Many professionals, bloggers, and tech-savvy users have Gravatar profiles. So, if you come across an unknown email, there’s a chance that person may have one too.
Gravaton is a tool we built to make Gravatar profile searching simple. If you have an email and want to see if there’s a Gravatar profile connected to it, just enter it into Gravaton.
In just a few seconds, Gravaton checks for you. If there is a Gravatar profile, it will show:
The profile picture
The user’s name (if added)
The “about me” section
Any websites or links they’ve shared
Social media profiles (like GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn)
Any other public information on the profile
It’s that easy.
How Does It Work?
Gravaton uses the official Gravatar system to fetch profiles. It works like this:
visit gravaton.profiler.me
You enter an email address.
Gravaton checks if that email has a Gravatar profile.
If it does, you’ll see the profile details.
If not, it will simply say “No Gravatar profile found.”
It does not store your email or the one you check. Your privacy is safe with us.
