What you will get

A flat vector style avatar of you in a circular crop, with simple shapes, soft flat shading, a limited colour palette and your hair, skin tone, glasses and clothing colours still recognisable.

Why it works

Flat avatars keep only what makes you recognisable: hair, skin tone, glasses and clothing colours. Simple shapes with no outlines and a limited palette give the modern app style. A circular crop on a plain background suits profile spaces.

Common mistake

The avatar looks like someone else.

Fix: Name the features that matter, such as “round glasses, short curly hair and a beard”. Use a front-facing photo with even light for the best match.

Also watch for

Outlines or gradients appear although you asked for flat shapes. Repeat “no outlines, no gradients, three shades per colour at most”. Short and firm wording works better than a long description.
The circle crop cuts off the shoulders or the top of the hair. Add “head and shoulders with space above the hair, centred in the circle”.

Try a variation: make a matching set

Ask for the same avatar with three different expressions, “smiling, surprised and thinking”, on the same plain background. They suit chat reactions or a team page.

Keep the same face, hair and glasses. Use fewer colours and make the shirt a plain solid shade, with no patterns.
