What is Avatar Creator?

A fun avatar builder that lets you design cartoon-style profile pictures by mixing and matching facial features. Choose from various face shapes, hairstyles, eyes, noses, mouths, and accessories to create a unique avatar, then download it as a PNG.

The builder combines five face shapes, six hairstyles in ten hair colors, five eye styles with ten iris colors, six facial-hair styles (mustache, goatee, beards), six accessory options (glasses, hats, beanie, earrings), four shirt styles with ten colors (tee, hoodie, suit), undo and redo for every change, a reset button, and a randomize button that shuffles every part at once. Export as a PNG in 128, 256, or 512 pixels, copy it straight to your clipboard, or save a fully editable SVG, with an optional transparent background — ready for forum profiles, Slack, or email headers.

How to use

1. Start with a face shape and skin tone, then customize the hairstyle and hair color.
2. Add facial features — pick from different eye styles and eye colors, eyebrows, noses, and mouths, then add a beard or mustache if you want one. Layer on accessories like glasses or a hat, and pick a shirt and shirt color so the avatar reads as a proper profile picture rather than a floating head.
3. Choose a background color or keep it transparent, then download your avatar as a PNG — pick 128, 256, or 512 pixels — or a fully editable SVG. You can also copy it straight to your clipboard to paste into a chat. Use undo and redo any time to step through your changes.

When to use

• Setting up a new profile picture for GitHub, Slack, or a forum without using a real photo.
• Creating consistent character faces for a Notion team page or company about section.
• Generating placeholder user avatars while designing a sign-up flow or app mockup.

Result

A developer designing their GitHub profile picks short curly hair, round glasses, a friendly smile, a navy hoodie, and a purple background — then downloads it as an editable SVG for the README and a 256-pixel PNG for the profile photo.

FAQ

Can I download the avatar as an SVG?

Yes — both PNG and SVG buttons sit below the preview. SVG keeps every shape as scalable vector geometry, so it looks sharp at any size and stays editable in Figma, Inkscape, or any code editor. Pick PNG if you need a flat raster (128, 256, or 512 pixels) for a profile field that only accepts images.

How many unique avatars can the randomizer actually produce?

With 5 face shapes, 6 skin tones, 6 hairstyles, 10 hair colors, 5 eye styles, 10 eye colors, 5 brow styles, 5 nose styles, 5 mouth styles, 6 facial-hair styles, 6 accessories, 4 clothing styles, 10 clothing colors, and 10 background colors, the maths gives over 160 billion combinations — most look distinct since the changes touch the silhouette, the eyes, and the torso.

Is there a way to save my avatar settings and edit them later?

Not directly — there's no account, so leaving the page drops the design. Use the Reset button to return to the starting avatar without reloading, then screenshot the controls panel or download the PNG and rebuild from it next time you visit.

Are these avatars safe to use commercially?

Yes. The avatars are generated from geometric shapes I wrote from scratch, not derived from any licensed asset library. You own the output and can use it for personal profiles, client work, app onboarding, or anywhere else without attribution.

Why does the hairstyle look slightly different on the heart-shaped face?

Each hairstyle path adapts to the face silhouette so it doesn't float in mid-air or clip into the chin. The diamond and heart shapes have narrower temples, so the hair sits a little closer. This is intentional — without it the avatar looks broken on non-round faces.
