Pick a style that fits the platform
- Professional — a clean, stylized portrait for LinkedIn or work.
- Cartoon / anime — a fun character for social or gaming.
- 3D render — a modern, polished avatar look.
- Abstract / icon — a symbol or pattern for anonymity.
- Pixel art or mascot — a distinctive gaming or brand avatar.
Size and finishing
Profile pictures are usually shown as a square (and often cropped to a circle), so generate in Square and keep the main subject centered with a little margin, so nothing important gets cut by a circular crop.
For a personal likeness, describe the character and style rather than expecting a photo of you — AI creates original characters, not real portraits of a specific person. Generate a few and pick the one that feels right, then crop if needed.
