How to make an AI avatar in 3 steps
One photo, one style, one download.
Step 1
Upload a selfie
A clear, front-facing photo with even light. Head and shoulders is enough; the round crop cuts the rest anyway.
Step 2
Pick a style
Choose from the avatar styles in the template: 3D, anime, vector, line art, watercolor, sticker and more.
Step 3
Download and set it
Download the square avatar and upload it as your profile picture. Try another style on the same photo for a matching set.
Recognisable in every style
The avatar keeps the things people know you by: face shape, hairstyle and colour, skin tone, glasses, the way you smile. Only the rendering changes.
- Face shape and features kept
- Hair and skin tone kept
- Expression carried over
From 3D to pixel art
Animated-film 3D, flat vector, anime, watercolor, pixel art and clay figurine. Want only anime? The Anime Avatar maker is built for that one look.
- 3D and clay
- Vector and line art
- Anime, watercolor, pixel
Framed for the round crop
Every avatar is centred head-and-shoulders on a simple background so it reads at chat size. For a Discord-specific version with room for the status dot, use the Discord PFP Maker.
- Square, face centred
- Clean background
- Readable at small sizes

FAQ
AI avatar generator FAQ
Is the AI avatar generator free?+
Signing up is free and comes with free credits to try it. Each run shows its price on the Generate button before anything is charged.
What photo works best?+
One clear selfie, face square to the camera, eyes open, hair off the face, soft even light. Sunglasses, heavy shadows and group photos give weaker results.
Will the avatar look like me?+
It keeps your face shape, hairstyle, skin tone and expression. Stylised looks (pixel art, flat vector) simplify features by design, so 3D and watercolor read most like a portrait.
Can I make an anime avatar?+
Yes, anime is one of the styles. For a dedicated anime look with more options, use the Anime Avatar maker.
Can I make a talking or video avatar?+
This tool makes avatar images. To animate one, upload it to Photo Animation AI and describe the motion. A lip-synced talking avatar is not available.
What size is the avatar?+
Square with the face centred, so it fits the circular crop on Discord, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Slack and gaming profiles without cutting off your head.
Can I make a matching avatar with a friend?+
Yes. Run the same style on both photos, or use the Matching PFP template, which takes two photos at once.
Are my photos kept private?+
Your photo is used only to make your avatar and is not shown publicly. See the LazyKiwi privacy policy for how uploads are stored.
