Turn yourself into an illustrated avatar for free

Although selfies are very popular, some people just don’t like selfies. But in the age of remote work, the name on the screen or the colored dots with your initial letters are not enough. A hand-painted avatar can be the perfect compromise.

Search "Avatar Generator" quickly on Google or mobile app store and you will find many options. The problem is that they mostly have the same aesthetic style, and the avatars you generate may look like characters from the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game — big eyes, plump lips and stylish dressing. Here are four free alternatives that you can try.

Get Avaaatars

This is a basic platform that allows you to create your own avatar by choosing features that better reflect your facial features and overall style. First choose a hairstyle and then continue to adjust by changing different colors, features, and outfits. Ultimately, you'll get a stylish icon that you can use on social media, email accounts, and even on Zoom calls.

Get Avaaatars' platform is very simple, and it can also be a problem - you can actually see custom options only after clicking. For example, there are 34 hairstyle options in the drop-down menu, name like "LongHairMiaWallace", which is hard to imagine even if you have read "Pulp Novel".

The range of skin tones is also quite limited on this platform, so if you are looking for a more specific skin tones, you may want to try other platforms.

**Get Avaaatars is free and you can use it on its website or through its Google Chrome extension.

Avatoon

If you like the overall look of Bratz dolls, then Avatoon is for you. This platform allows you to create a character that reflects your personality, even if it doesn't look exactly like you. You can match your avatar with the latest fashion trends and accessories, choose clothing, and even set background decorations such as furniture and plants.

You can spend a lot of time putting on different clothes for your avatar and “take photos” in special outfits and postures, many of which are themed on special occasions. This aspect of the platform is more like a game (you can win or buy coins to buy more outfits), but you can definitely stick to free items and redesign your avatar for your profile photo.

However, when it comes to the physical characteristics of your avatar, your choices are very limited. You only have seven face shapes to choose from, four types of nose (all small by the way). The 11 types of eyes all look similar, except those that are blinking.

If this sounds frustrating, you can skip this step altogether and submit a selfie. After opening the app, click Face recognition and take a photo. The app will recognize your characteristics and respond with the version of the avatar it thinks you look like. In my case, this is different from what I actually...well, everything is very different, but the app gives me a chance to fix it manually.

**Avatoon is available for Android and is free.

Memojis

Memojis are everywhere, which may be why some people find them incredibly awkward. But Apple does a great job of this feature, and it is one of the most comprehensive avatar generators available right now.

Memoji tools offer a complete range of skin tones, hairstyles, beauty moles and accessories to reflect people from all cultures and backgrounds – including fantasy characters with green skin and elf-like ears. Some features, such as the nose and eyes, don't have many changes, but each has sliders to get the right color and gradient. Apple's tools also have some other customizable fields that you won't find on other platforms, such as age and hair highlights.

Picrew.me

When you visit the Picrew.me website, don't be intimidated by the fact that the website is in Japanese. This is probably one of the most interesting and original avatar generators right now.

This platform provides more than just a profile picture generator, but dozens of profile picture generators created by artists around the world. You can even make one based on your own drawings.

Unless you can read Japanese, the first thing you need to do after entering the website is to translate everything. On Google Chrome, right-click some blank page areas and select Translate to English. Remember to do this every time you go to another page. Chrome may also automatically prompt you to translate the page when you arrive. Then, select one of the recommended generators on the home page, or go to the upper right corner and click Light Bulb to go to the Discovery page. There, you can scroll through all the generators and find your favorite generators – in different styles, and some even allow you to create animal characters.

When you click on a generator, you will go into the actual generator and you will be able to build your avatar. Use side scrolling to view all fields you can customize and use the grid and brush buttons in the lower right corner of the image to toggle between the desired function and the desired color. The number of custom options will depend on the generator, so the accuracy of your avatar will depend on that too. However, most of the generators I tried had a fair number of hairstyle options, outfits, and accessories, although the skin tone palette tends to be more limited.

When finished, click the green button in the lower left corner of the image to download your avatar to your desktop. Regardless of accuracy, you can spend hours customizing your drawings on Picrew.me, so you can definitely have fun even if you don't find the perfect similarity.

**Picrew is available online via picrew.me.
