EVE Image Resolver

What This Does

Introduction

EVE Online contains a vast universe filled with numerous entities such as characters, inventory types, corporations, alliances, blueprints, and ancient relics. Each of these entities is uniquely identified by an ID and can be referenced using the ESI (EVE Swagger Interface).

This tool utilizes that ID to determine the type of entity and generate valid image URLs. Rather than blindly guessing the URL format, it intelligently resolves the ID category through ESI’s universe/names endpoint.

Supported ID Categories
  • Character
  • Corporation
  • Alliance
  • Faction (NPC Corp)
  • Type (Item)
  • Blueprint
  • Ancient Relic

Sample response from API lookup.

This tool initiates by resolving an ID to its associated category using the universe/names endpoint. From there, each category is treated accordingly.

If the category is inventory_type, the tool performs additional lookups to identify the type’s group and category. This helps distinguish between ships, blueprints, and relics — ensuring precise URL construction.

Ship types will return icon and render images. Blueprints return both bp and bpc formats. Ancient relics return relic images. All other IDs resolve to their appropriate portrait or logo.
