Some profiles want a photo; some want a character. Avatar Maker builds the second kind from the first. Upload a selfie and pick a style, and the Studio draws a head-and-shoulders avatar of you on a clean, simple background — recognizably you, with your hair, face shape, glasses and coloring carried into the illustration. It is sized and composed for the small circles where avatars live: Slack, Discord, GitHub, gaming platforms, forums and messaging apps.
Eight styles cover most tastes. 3D Cartoon is the glossy animated-film look with soft rounded features. Anime gives clean lines and expressive eyes. Flat Vector is bold shapes and minimal shading, ideal for tiny sizes. Painterly shows brushwork and rich color; Pixel Art is a retro sprite with a limited palette; Comic Book brings ink outlines and halftone dots; Claymation is a soft sculpted stop-motion figure; Neon Glow sets the face in pink and cyan light on a dark ground. The output keeps the aspect ratio of your selfie, so a square selfie yields a square avatar.
A Standard run costs 4 credits and takes seconds; Pro and Max finishes add crispness to line work and lighting. Run the same selfie through several styles and compare them on your contact sheet before choosing one for each platform. For a full-body or scene-based illustration, Cartoon Portrait and Photo to Anime treat the whole photo; for a transparent cut-out of the finished avatar, send it to Background Remover.

Good to know
Which style works best at very small sizes?
Flat Vector and 3D Cartoon stay readable at 32 pixels. Pixel Art is designed for it. Painterly and Comic Book look best at medium sizes and above.
Can I get a transparent background?
The avatar comes on a clean simple background. Send the result to Background Remover for a transparent PNG you can place on any color.
Will it keep my glasses and beard?
Yes. Glasses, facial hair, hair color and distinctive features are translated into the chosen style, which is how the avatar stays recognizable.
Can I make matching avatars for a team?
Yes — have everyone run the same style. Because the composition and background are consistent, the set reads as one series.
Can I try Avatar Maker without paying?
Yes. A new account comes with 4 free credits — one Standard run of Avatar Maker or any other tool — and no card is needed.
