Stylised avatars for your own accounts
The avatar generator is built for one job: making a striking, stylised profile picture for accounts and projects that are yours. Think gaming handles, a side project, a podcast cover, or a fun version of yourself for a group chat. Because avatars are tiny and often cropped into a circle, they need bold shapes and clear color rather than fine detail. A simple subject with strong lighting reads far better at thumbnail size than a busy, cluttered scene. If you want a square image with no background instead, the background remover tool pairs well with the styles below.
Please avoid impersonation
Making an avatar of a real person without their consent can cause real harm, from confusion to outright fraud. Do not use this tool to copy a celebrity, a coworker, or anyone else who has not clearly agreed. Stylised versions of your own face are fine, and invented characters are encouraged. For the full rules on consent, likeness, and safe use, read our guide to using AI images safely before you generate anything that resembles a person.
Choose a style that fits the platform
The style you pick matters more than any single word in your prompt. Each look below crops and scales differently, so match it to where the avatar will live.
| Style | Best for | Look and feel |
|---|---|---|
| Flat illustration | Brands and apps | Clean shapes, few colors, very readable when small |
| Painterly portrait | Authors and creators | Soft brush texture and warm, human lighting |
| Clean 3D | Gaming and tech | Smooth surfaces, rim light, a modern toy like finish |
| Line and ink | Minimal profiles | Bold outlines on a plain field, strong at any size |
Example avatar prompts
Start from one of these recipes and swap in your own details. Keeping the subject simple and the background plain gives the cleanest crop. For more on shaping a prompt, see how to write clear image prompts and the notes on prompt structure.
Flat: "friendly fox mascot, flat vector, two tone teal and cream, centered, plain background"
3D: "smiling robot head, soft 3D render, blue rim light, glossy white, simple gray backdrop"
Painterly: "stylised self portrait, short curly hair, warm side light, loose oil brush, neutral wall"
Line art: "bold ink portrait of an owl, thick outlines, single accent color, flat background"When you have a look you like, you can refine it further in the main image generator for more control over the final result.
