Universal Reddit HD Avatar Viewer (Original Quality)
Reddit displays user avatars (often called Snoovatars or custom profile icons) as small circular crops next to usernames in comments and profile pages. Reddit's JSON API exposes the icon_img and snoovatar_img fields with direct links to full-resolution CDN assets on styles.redditmedia.com and i.redd.it.
Instabatch queries Reddit's user profile endpoint to fetch the highest-resolution icon_img URL, stripping any query-parameter size restrictions.
Requests are routed through residential proxies server-side. You never log into Reddit, and the user cannot detect anonymous DP viewing.

2. Preview the Avatar

Instabatch
How does Instabatch extract Reddit's icon_img from the user JSON API?
Reddit's UI shows a compressed circular avatar. Instabatch queries the user profile endpoint and reads icon_img (custom uploads) or snoovatar_img (Snoovatar renders), returning the direct CDN URL without size-restriction query parameters.
Can Reddit users see that I viewed their profile picture?
No. Instabatch performs server-side CDN extraction through residential proxies. You never authenticate with Reddit, and avatar CDN fetches do not trigger owner notifications.
Does this work on Reddit accounts with hidden profiles?
Yes for profile icons. Reddit avatars are served from public styles.redditmedia.com and i.redd.it CDN endpoints regardless of profile visibility settings.
What is a Snoovatar vs a custom Reddit avatar?
Snoovatars are Reddit's built-in avatar builder renders stored as snoovatar_img. Custom avatars use icon_img. Instabatch extracts whichever is active at full resolution.
Can I use u/username instead of a full Reddit URL?
Yes. Our normalizer converts u/username to reddit.com/user/username before querying the avatar API.
Why does Reddit show a tiny avatar but Instabatch returns HD?
Reddit's frontend requests small-size icon URLs for comment threads. The API stores the full upload. Instabatch selects the largest CDN variant without upscaling.
