About the Avatar Generator
The avatar generator uses AI face detection to find and center your head, crops a balanced head-and-shoulders portrait, mattes you out from the original background, and composites you onto a clean studio backdrop. A light enhancement pass evens out lighting and adds a subtle polish, so you get a consistent, professional-looking avatar for Discord, Instagram, gaming, and team profiles.
How It Works
1. Upload a selfie or portrait
2. AI detects and centers your face
3. Background is swapped and lighting polished
4. Adjust enhancement and download

usageA clear, front-facing selfie with your whole face visible and even lighting gives the cleanest background swap and the most flattering crop. Avoid heavy shadows and busy framing for the best result.

featuresYes. It is free to preview; create a free account to download, and free avatars download clean — nothing stamped on them. Premium lifts the daily cap and adds batch processing. Your photo is processed securely and deleted automatically after the avatar is created.
privacyNo — this is a photo-to-avatar tool, not a build-from-parts character creator. It turns your real selfie into a clean profile picture by detecting your face, cropping a head-and-shoulders portrait, swapping the background and polishing the lighting. If you want a drawn or stylised look instead of your photo, try the Anime Generator to convert your photo into an anime-style avatar.
featuresKeep the Enhancement strength slider low, near "Natural", for a subtle polish that still looks exactly like your photo — ideal for a professional or work profile picture. Push it toward "Polished" for a more retouched, glossy look on gaming or social avatars, and watch the live preview update instantly as you drag.
tipsYes — after the avatar is generated you can fine-tune it with the enhancement strength slider, from a Natural look to a more Polished finish, and the preview updates before you download. If the crop or background swap is not quite right, upload a different photo: a clear, front-facing selfie gives the avatar maker the best framing to work with.
featuresYes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 100 photos, set your options once, and every photo is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.
featuresYes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch, up to 100 photos. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.
