Build dynamic and static Shields.io badges for GitHub repositories. Configure styles, colors, real-time star counters, licenses, and package metrics with copyable Markdown and HTML snippets.
Runs entirely in your browser
The small status badges at the top of a README — build passing, licence, version, stars — are generated by Shields.io. This builder helps you design them: choose the badge type, colours and style, including dynamic badges that pull live data like GitHub stars or an npm version, and copy the Markdown or HTML to paste into your README.
Badges communicate a project’s health and key facts at a glance, and consistent, well-chosen ones make a README look maintained and professional. Building them here avoids hand-constructing Shields.io URLs, which are easy to get slightly wrong.
It runs in your browser, so it is instant. Use it to add build, licence, release and package badges to a repository, or to restyle an existing set for consistency.
