Crafatar serves Minecraft avatars based on the skin for use in external applications.
Inspired by [Gravatar](https://gravatar.com) (hence the name) and [Minotar](https://minotar.net).

Image manipulation is done by [lwip](https://github.com/EyalAr/lwip). Renders are created with [node-canvas](https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas), based on math by [confuser](https://github.com/confuser/serverless-mc-skin-viewer).
