Create your own 3D avatar
from a single selfie
Turn a photo into a realistic or cartoon-style, full-body 3D avatar — customize it, then use it in games, VR, video and the metaverse. Free and online, right in your browser.
Three steps
Make a 3D avatar from a photo
MetaPerson is a free online 3D avatar creator — an AI avatar maker that takes you from photo to 3D avatar in three simple steps, no design skills needed.
Upload a selfie
Use one clear, front-facing photo. The AI builds a recognizable 3D head and full-body avatar from it.
Customize
Fine-tune facial features and body shape, then pick hairstyles, outfits and accessories.
Use it anywhere
Export to GLB/GLTF and drop your avatar into games, apps, VR/AR or the metaverse.
Your style
Realistic or cartoon
Create a photorealistic avatar that looks just like you, or a playful cartoon character — and switch styles anytime in the built-in avatar editor.
Anywhere
Use your 3D avatar everywhere
Make it yours
Design every detail in the avatar editor
Make an avatar of yourself from one selfie — the AI keeps your likeness, so friends recognize you instantly — or create your own avatar from a pre-made base. Either way, the online avatar editor gives you full control: fine-tune facial features and body proportions, then design your look with dozens of hairstyles, outfits and accessories. Come back anytime to edit your avatar and re-export it. Key realistic avatar maker features: photorealistic and cartoon styles, full-body avatars, face and body-shape fine-tuning, hairstyles, outfits and accessories, GLB/glTF/FBX export — and your first avatar is free.
