Create custom shields.io badges and grab ready-made GitHub badges in Markdown.
Runs 100% in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded.
What is Badge Generator?
Badges give a repository instant credibility signals — build status, version, license, activity. This free generator builds shields.io badge URLs for you: set the label, message, color, style and an optional simple-icons logo, and get the Markdown and HTML embed code. It also produces a ready-made set of dynamic badges for your GitHub repo — stars, forks, issues, license, last commit, latest release and CI workflow status — all matching your chosen style.
How to use Badge Generator
- Open the tool — no signup, no upload, everything runs in your browser.
- Fill in the options in the form; sensible defaults are pre-selected.
- The badge generator output updates instantly with every change you make.
- Copy the result or download it as a ready-to-use file.
Frequently asked questions
Is this badge generator free to use?
Yes — this badge generator is completely free with no signup, no limits, and no watermarks. Use it as often as you like.
How do dynamic GitHub badges stay up to date?
shields.io fetches the live value from the GitHub API each time the badge image is requested, then caches it briefly. You embed a static URL once, and the number — stars, issues, release version — updates automatically without any action from you.
Is my data private?
Completely. Everything you type stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, so commands, keys and data never leave your machine.
Do these tools touch my servers?
No. OpsForge tools are pure calculators and generators that run in your browser — they never connect to your infrastructure. You copy the result and apply it yourself.
Is the chmod calculator accurate for all systems?
Yes — octal permission notation is a POSIX standard, so the results apply identically on Linux, macOS and BSD.
Will more DevOps tools be added?
Yes — Dockerfile, docker-compose, nginx and CI config generators are on the roadmap. Everything will stay free and client-side.
