Creating a personal full-body avatar is an excellent way to express yourself online. If you’ve got two minutes and a selfie, you can create an avatar online.

It’s a virtual version of you that’s both recognizable and customized to your liking, allowing you to join in on different games, VR experiences, and social apps.
Simple avatar creators like Ready Player Me allow you to create your avatar with a photo, with some extra customizations, in just a few easy steps.

Create a full-body 3D avatar with a photo in 3 steps
1. Choose a full-body avatar creator
Visit readyplayer.me on your laptop or mobile phone. Just make sure that you are able to take a selfie or can upload a clear profile image later on.
2. Take a selfie
You have the option to take a photo or upload one. Either way, there are some simple rules to ensure your selfie avatar comes out awesome:
- Make sure your photo is well-lit. Dark photos will reduce the ability to define your avatar features well.
- Keep it casual. Smiling may be tempting, but think “driver’s license photo.”
- Make sure you remove your glasses (if you’re wearing any) and try to keep your hair from covering up too much of your face.
When you’re ready, tap on “Take a photo!” or choose the "pick a file" option and select a good portrait to create an avatar.
INSERT LOADING SCREEN (fun) - no, seriously. It could take 5-10 seconds, but you can relax. The next thing you’ll see is a cartoon avatar of you!
3. Customize your personal full-body 3D avatar
You’ve created a full-body avatar with a photo! You can choose some customizations here just in case you’d like to change something. Perhaps you really do want green hair; now is your chance. Once you’re ready, tap that “Done” button in the upper-right corner and Voila! Welcome to the virtual world.
You’re all set! Piece of cake.
