Gravatar profile URL & handle rules

gravatar.com/{handle-or-hash} — avatar profiles list every site the email is used on (verified links).

Handles and email hashes are the lookup keys; hashes are deterministic — the same email always produces the same gravatar hash.

Does Gravatar have native search?

Indirect: you need the handle or the MD5 hash of an email; the profile then discloses verified external links.

Manual check: step by step

Try gravatar.com/{handle} — many users claim their preferred handle.
Read the verified links list — it self-declares the user's other identities.
If you have an email, its Gravatar existing at all confirms the person uses that email actively.

What a parallel scan adds for Gravatar

Gravatar is the platform that verifies email-to-identity links without any login wall — a scan hit here acts as a glue record between an email, an avatar and a list of confirmed other accounts.

Gravatar FAQ

What is a Gravatar verified link?

A external profile the user has proven ownership of — meaning the Gravatar profile explicitly confirms 'this email and these accounts belong together'.

Can you look up a Gravatar by email?

Yes, via the email's deterministic hash — its existence confirms active email use, and the profile reveals chosen handles and verified links.
