Overview

Developer tool to find and copy Markdown badges for READMEs and other documentation, without hunting through shields.io by hand. Badges are organized by category, instantly searchable, and each one is ready to copy in Markdown or HTML.

Key features

  • 600+ curated badges across languages, frameworks, tools and platforms, sourced from the community markdown-badges collection and shields.io.
  • Instant search with fuzzy matching, plus dedicated category pages to browse badges by topic.
  • Multi-select & bulk copy — pick several badges at once and copy them all in one go.
  • Favorites — bookmark the badges you use most often for quick access.
  • Badge generator — build a fully custom badge (label, color, logo) beyond the pre-made catalog.
  • Public API — a documented /api/badges JSON endpoint for programmatic access, described on the docs page.
  • Social previews — auto-generated OG images per badge via @vercel/og.
  • llms.txt generation — the badge catalog is also exposed in an LLM-friendly format.
