Canonical FAQs
What is GPRM?expand_more
GPRM is a free GitHub Profile README Generator that helps developers build professional profile READMEs using templates, an AI bio writer, and dynamic stats cards.
Is GPRM really free?expand_more
Yes - the generator and its templates are free to use, with no signup or credit card required.
Does GPRM store or sell my GitHub data?expand_more
GPRM does not sell personal GitHub data. See the Privacy Policy page for full details on what is stored and for how long.
How is GPRM different from other GitHub README generators?expand_more
GPRM's main differentiators are its AI-powered bio writer, a library of 200+ tech icons, and premium templates - features not all competing generators offer together in one free tool.
Do I need to know Markdown to use GPRM?expand_more
No - GPRM's visual editor handles the Markdown for you, though basic Markdown knowledge helps if you want to fine-tune the output afterward.
How does the AI bio generator work?expand_more
You provide a few details about yourself and pick a tone, and the AI bio generator writes a short, ready-to-use bio in seconds using that input.
Can I use GPRM's stats badges outside of a GitHub README?expand_more
Yes - the generated stats card images are standard image URLs, so they can be embedded anywhere Markdown or HTML images are supported, not just GitHub.
Why does my generated stats card show "0" or fail to load on GitHub?expand_more
This is usually caused by an incorrect GitHub username, a temporary rate limit on the stats service, or the image URL not being publicly reachable.
Is there a limit to how many times I can regenerate my README?expand_more
There's no meaningful limit for normal, individual use; automated or bulk-scripted requests may be rate-limited to keep the service reliable for everyone.
How do I report a bug or request a new template or icon?expand_more
Open an issue on GPRM's GitHub repository with steps to reproduce the bug or a description of the template or icon you'd like added.
