You can turn a cartoon, anime, or illustrated character into a talking Character Avatar with Photo to Avatar. This doc shows how to create one, which images work best, how it differs from a Photo Avatar, and the Enterprise option for a fully custom character.

Create a Character Avatar

To create a Character Avatar:

  1. Click Avatars in the left menu, then click Create Avatar.

  2. Click Photo to Avatar. It accepts two kinds of images: Person photo and Character.

  3. Upload an image of one character with a clear face, and follow the steps on screen.

Opening Create Avatar, choosing Photo to Avatar, and the upload guidelines

Images that work best

  • One person or character, with a clear, front-facing face and clearly visible facial features.

  • A high-resolution image with a simple background. At least 512 × 512 px is recommended.

  • JPG, PNG, or WEBP, up to 20MB.

Avoid

  • Multiple people or characters in one image.

  • A face that's covered, only partly visible, distorted, or blurry.

  • Characters that may infringe IP rights.

💡 Tip: Don't have a character yet? You can generate one with an AI image generator, in AI Studios or with an external tool, and then upload the image.

Note: Character Avatars work differently from Photo Avatars of people. They can't be used in conversation scenes, and background removal isn't available for them.

Exclusive Studio Avatar for Enterprise

Enterprise customers can work with our team to design a fully customized Studio Avatar, including cartoon or animated styles, tailored to their needs. This option is part of our exclusive Enterprise plan.

For example, the DeepBrain AI team designed a 3D character for one of our Enterprise customers and turned it into an AI avatar that works in AI Studios and in DeepBrain AI's conversational, real-time avatar technology. Watch the example.

FAQ

Is a Character Avatar the same as a Photo Avatar?
Both are created with Photo to Avatar, but a Character Avatar is made from a character image and has its own limits. It can't be used in conversation scenes, and background removal isn't available for it.

Can I use a famous cartoon character?
The upload guidelines list characters that may infringe IP rights as images to avoid. Use an original character or one you have the rights to.

Can I remove the background of a Character Avatar?
No. Background removal isn't available for Character Avatars.
