The 88×31 button maker

The button maker makes the classic 88×31 link buttons that defined the early personal web — the little badges you'd trade with other sites.

Making a button

1. Open Buttons in the Console.
2. Set the text, pick background / text / border colours (or start from a preset), and choose PNG or GIF (turn on Blink for an animated GIF). The preview updates live.
3. Hit Save button. It's rendered server-side at exactly 88×31 and added to Your buttons.

Each saved button comes with a Copy embed snippet — a plain static <img> linking the button's public image URL — that you can paste on any page, including pages hosted elsewhere. The snippet contains no scripts.

Sharing to the community

Use Share on a saved button to list it in the community gallery, where other people can grab its embed. Unshare at any time to remove it again — only buttons you've opted in ever appear there.

How it works (and the guarantees)

• Buttons are rendered server-side from your design, so the stored file is always a well-formed 88×31 PNG or GIF — there's no uploaded image to sniff.
• Button images are served inert (image/* + X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff) and with no session cookie, so embedding one anywhere is safe.
• Each account can save up to a configured number of buttons.
