    size takes only one integer as this function is meant to always return a square image.

    get_avatar_url($user->ID, ['size' => '51']);

    Example to build a responsive user image:

    <picture>
  <source srcset="<?php print get_avatar_url($user->ID, ['size' => '51']); ?>" media="(min-width: 992px)"/>
  <img src="<?php print get_avatar_url($user->ID, ['size' => '40']); ?>"/>
</picture>

    You can use get_avatar_url to create a dynamic favicon from the user’s avatar, this useful when creating a custom user profile,

    &lt;link rel="shortcut icon" href="&lt;?php echo get_avatar_url($user->ID,array('width'=>'16','height'=>'16')); ?>" />
</code>

If the profile page uses the user's login, then you can obtain the user ID, where the user's login name is the last item in the request uri,

<code>
&lt;?php
$permalink = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$username = explode("/",$permalink)[count(explode("/",$permalink))-1];

$user = get_user_by('login',$username);
?>
