Custom badges are your own badge designs that show on your profile next to the earned ones. You buy slots, upload an image per slot, and they appear immediately.

Buying slots

  • Unit price: $4.99 per slot.
  • Volume discount: +5% per extra slot, capped at 20% (so 5+ slots = 20% off).
  • 5-for-6 bundle: pay for 5 slots (at the 20% volume discount = $19.96), receive 6 slots.
Pay by card (Stripe) or crypto (NOWPayments). Slots are added to your account the moment payment confirms. Full pricing breakdown lives on Buying custom badges.

Designing the badge

Each badge has these editable fields in the dashboard:
FieldNotes
ImagePNG / JPEG / WebP / GIF. Max 2 MiB (the same cap as avatars). Animated GIFs play. The badge renders roughly 24 × 24 px so large images get downsized.
Name (label)Up to 40 chars. Used internally and in tooltips for screen-readers.
Hover message (hoverText)Up to 20 chars, optional — what visitors see in the tooltip.
Display size (sizeScalePct)50–300% of the default size. Useful for a chunky logo or a tiny icon. Stored as sizeScalePct and applied as CSS zoom.
There is no separate label / hover-text split beyond those two fields — the schema doesn’t accept tags, categories, or per-badge themes.

Reorder

Drag rows in the editor. Top of the list = leftmost on the public page, after the earned ones.

Tips

  • Transparent background PNG is the cleanest look on dark and light themes.
  • High-contrast designs read best at 24 × 24. Anything with fine details disappears at that size.
  • For a pixel-art badge, design at 24 × 24 and leave the size at 100%.

Common questions

Refresh the dashboard and check the Custom badges panel — slots usually appear within seconds. If not, your payment may still be confirming. Crypto payments can take 5–30 minutes depending on the coin.
Yes — animated GIFs play in the badge slot. Keep the file small for sane page weight (under ~200 KB ideal).
No hard cap on slots themselves. Visually, more than ~5–8 badges starts to crowd your name.
Unused slots are refundable case-by-case while still unused. Once a slot has been spent on a badge (or one is being created), it’s considered delivered. See Refunds.
Yes — they show on every domain your profile is served on (biolovers.site and the Premium alt domains).
The cap is 2 MiB (PROFILE_UPLOAD_AVATAR_MAX_BYTES). Compress the file or pick a smaller resolution.
