The arrival of smartphones in our lives meant that we all had a camera in our pockets, so that personalized avatars were forgotten, since the vast majority replaced them with their own photographs.

But that does not mean that the avatars have gone out of fashion, far from it. In fact, there are dozens of apps that allow you to create these types of images for free, to later use them as profile images on social networks, Opjee messaging services or any other type of platform. In this article, we select the best apps to create custom avatars from your mobile.

At the time we already talked more about ZEPETO , an application to create "virtual clones" , which a few months after its arrival was already managing to amass a community of millions of users from all over the world. It is a tool that, through a selfie , allows us to create our own avatar automatically, as well as personalize it with clothing, different haircuts, accessories and more.

In addition to allowing the generation and export of custom avatars from an image, ZEPETO also offers the possibility of generating packs of emojis using the avatar itself , and even creating animated clips featuring our character. The application is available on Google Play, and can be downloaded for free.

The large majority of apps to create avatars allows to generate images with a unique style. In the case of Chibi Avatar , as its name suggests, offered the possibility of creating chibi- style manga avatars . Unlike other tools, in this case it is not even necessary to upload your own image, but the appearance of the avatar can be customized from the first moment. They even include the styles of famous characters from manga culture like Naruto.

Once our "Xiibi” has been created, the app offers the possibility of saving the image in the phone's storage to use it as an avatar in any application or platform.

Gboard:

For many, it may not even be necessary to install an extra application on their mobile to create their own personalized avatar. Gboard, the Google keyboard app, has for some time included the function of creating your own "Minis” or "thumbnails” based on an image , following the steps that we already explained at the time.

Once the emoji pack is created , all you have to do is display the keyboard in any application that allows it - WhatsApp or Telegram, for example - and send the emoji you want to use as an avatar. When it has been sent, all you have to do is save the image in the gallery to be able to use it later as a profile photo on any platform.

Bitmoji is probably the most famous and widely used tool for creating custom avatars . Thanks to its Android application, you can easily generate and customize a "virtual clone”, and adjust any aspect before sharing it with the world.

One of the peculiarities of Bitmoji is that thanks to its popularity it has become integrated into other applications such as Snapchat or Gboard itself, so that once our Bitmoji has been created, it will be available in any of the compatible apps to send it as a sticker or emoticon. . Of course, there is also the possibility to download the avatar for free to use as a profile picture on social networks.

The latest application of this selection is FaceQ , a tool that currently accumulates more than 10 million downloads on Google Play and a rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars.

Like the other apps, FaceQ allows you to customize the avatar to your liking, changing the hairstyle, facial features, clothing or accessories, and it will even be possible to add texts to the image before exporting it.
