How to Create Your Own Interactive Avatar From a Photograph

Interactive avatars are animated and feature movement. They are popular in online social communities because they stand out more than static photos. You can create an interactive avatar on a variety of websites from the pictures provided by the site. But if you want to create one that looks like you, you need an interactive avatar generator that allows you to upload a photograph of yourself and turn it into an avatar image of yourself that has animation.

Things You'll Need

• Interactive avatar generator
• Photograph

Instructions

1. Go to a website that offers an interactive avatar generator (See References).

2. Click on the type of interactive avatar that you wish to create, such as one where your eyes are blinking or other animated effects.

3. Click on "Upload" and select the photograph from which you wish to create an interactive avatar.

4. Wait for the upload and effects to process, and then click "Download" to download your interactive avatar to your computer.

Tips & Warnings

• Click "Get Code" instead of "Download" if you wish to copy and paste the html code to your avatar into a social networking website.

• Beware of navigating away from the page before you have downloaded or received the code to your avatar. If you do, you will lose your avatar and have to start over.
