Use your Xbox Live Avatar Elsewhere on the Web

I was just updating a list of work colleagues gamercards and I noticed there’s a direct path to any Avatar’s 2D image, you simply just need to insert the gamertag and escape the URL appropriatly where needed.

For Example, my gamertag is “DannyG UK” so a link to my avatar would be:

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/DannyG%20UK/avatar-body.png

The %20 simply replaces any spaces, also being a Microsoft system it’s no case sensitive, also you can get away without using the %20, that is a bit sloppy though

This means you can embed your avatar if various other places throught the web: for example:

Example

<img src="http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/DannyG%20UK/avatar-body.png" />

You can also do the same with your little gamerpic photo type thingy you use in your Gamercard. This however comes in two sizes:

Large Example:

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/DannyG%20UK/avatarpic-l.png

Small Example:

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/DannyG%20UK/avatarpic-s.png

Enjoy!
