How it works

Upload your photo

Choose a clear photo of your face, preferably front-facing with good lighting. Selfies, headshots, or passport-style photos work perfectly. The AI needs to see your facial features clearly to create an accurate avatar.

Expect: Simple cartoon avatar: 60 seconds. Detailed artistic style: 2-3 minutes and may need style refinements.
Describe your avatar style

THIS IS THE KEY STEP. Type exactly what avatar style you want: 'create anime avatar', 'make cartoon version of me', 'create professional business avatar', or 'turn into cyberpunk character'. Be specific about the artistic style, colors, or theme. No need to mark your face - the AI recognizes it automatically.

Tip: Mention specific styles like 'Disney cartoon', 'manga anime', 'pixel art', or 'oil painting style' for more accurate results

Review your custom avatar

Check how your avatar captures your likeness while applying the chosen style. The AI maintains your recognizable features while transforming the artistic presentation. Zoom in to see stylistic details.
Refine details if needed

OPTIONAL. If you want to adjust specific features like hair style, clothing, or facial details, add those specifications to your prompt and regenerate. Most avatars capture your likeness perfectly on the first try.

Tip: Add specific details like 'with blue hair', 'wearing glasses', or 'smiling expression' for customization

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or my face doesn't look like me anymore

Why: The AI applied too much stylistic transformation or couldn't clearly identify your facial features.

Try: Use a clearer, front-facing photo and add 'while keeping my likeness' to your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Good lighting and clear facial features help the AI preserve your recognizable appearance while applying the style.

Avatar style doesn't match what I described

Why: Style description was too general or the AI interpreted it differently than expected.

Try: Be more specific about the style: 'Studio Ghibli anime style' instead of just 'cartoon'

Try This →

Tip: Reference specific art styles, shows, or artists for more accurate style matching.

Avatar looks too realistic or not stylized enough

Why: AI didn't apply enough artistic transformation to create a distinct avatar style.

Try: Add stronger style descriptors: 'heavily stylized', 'exaggerated features', or 'very cartoon-like'

Try This →

Tip: Photos with neutral expressions work better for dramatic style transformations.

Hair color or features are completely wrong

Why: Lighting or photo quality made it difficult for AI to identify your actual features accurately.

Try: Specify your features in the prompt: 'keeping my brown hair' or 'with my blue eyes'

Try This →

Tip: Well-lit photos with natural colors help the AI preserve your actual features.

Avatar looks too different from photo

Why: Artistic style was too extreme or the photo didn't provide enough clear facial detail.

Try: Try a less extreme style or add 'maintaining facial resemblance' to your description

Try This →

Tip: Start with subtle styles and gradually try more dramatic transformations once you find what works.
