The Avatar tool generates profile pictures for your YouTube channel. This is different from the Face Profile (Person) feature which is used for face swap in thumbnails.
What is an Avatar?
An avatar is your YouTube channel's profile picture—the circular image that appears next to your channel name, comments, and community posts. A professional, memorable avatar helps viewers recognize your brand.How It Works
- Describe Your Style: Enter a description of the avatar you want
- Choose a Style: Select from various artistic styles (realistic, cartoon, anime, etc.)
- Generate Options: AI creates multiple avatar variations
- Download: Get your avatar in the perfect size for YouTube (800x800px)
Avatar Types
| Type | Best For |
|---|---|

| Mascot | Kids content, gaming |
| Abstract | Music, art channels |
Best Practices
