FAQ

How do I create an avatar?
Open MetaPerson Creator, upload one front-facing selfie, and it creates a 3D avatar that looks like you in about a minute. Then customize the face, body, hair and outfit and export it as GLB, glTF or FBX. Your first avatar is free.
Is the avatar creator free?
Your first avatar is free to create and export. After that, each new avatar costs a small amount of in-app credits — so you only pay for the avatars you create. No subscription, no installation.
Can I create an avatar from a photo?

Can I create my own custom avatar?
Yes. Create your own avatar two ways: start from a selfie for a recognizable look, or design one from a pre-made base. Face, hair, body shape and clothing are fully customizable in the built-in editor.
What is the best online avatar creator?
For a realistic, full-body 3D avatar you create from a photo and can export and animate, Avatar SDK's MetaPerson Creator is a leading choice (browser-based, GLB/FBX, rigged, first avatar free). For anime-style characters, VRoid Studio is a free alternative; for cinematic Unreal characters, MetaHuman Creator.
What can I do with the avatar I create?
Export it to GLB/glTF/FBX and use it in games, VR/AR, video, social media and the metaverse. Avatars are rigged and compatible with Mixamo animations.
Do I need to install anything?
