Make an initials avatar
An initials avatar — one or two letters on a coloured tile — is the cleanest profile picture for apps, forums, team pages, and placeholder accounts. This generator makes one in seconds: type the initials, pick the shape and colours, and download a sharp image at any size.
Choose a circle, a rounded square, or a plain square; set the background and text colours; and adjust the text size. Turn on a transparent background and export a PNG to drop the avatar onto any design, or keep a solid tile for a ready-to-use picture.
How to create an avatar
- Type the initials. Enter one to three letters — they're shown uppercase and centred on the tile.
- Pick shape and colours. Choose circle, rounded, or square, then set the background and text colours and the text size.
- Size and download. Use the 512×512 avatar preset (or any size), then download a PNG — transparent if you turned that on.
Pick readable colours
For the clearest avatar, use a strong background colour with white or near-white text (or the reverse). High contrast keeps the initials legible even at small sizes like 32×32 in a comment thread.
What the avatar generator makes
It draws one to three initials, centred and in uppercase, on a coloured tile — a clean placeholder profile picture rather than a generated face or illustration.
Avatar controls
- Initials
- 1 to 3 letters, automatically uppercased and centred
- Shape
- Circle, rounded square, or square
- Colours
- Separate tile (background) and text colours
- Text size
- Adjustable from 20% to 90% of the tile; defaults to ~42%
- Transparent background
- Optional — export a PNG with only the shape and letters
- Recommended size
- 512 × 512 px preset (or any size up to 8000 px)
What to use it for
- A profile picture for an app, forum, team page, or any account that has no photo yet.
- A default or fallback avatar generated from a user's initials.
- A consistent set of placeholder avatars for a design mockup or directory page.
- A simple monogram or badge built from one or two letters.
Tip
Use a strong tile colour with white or near-white text (or the reverse) — high contrast keeps the initials legible even at small sizes like 32×32 in a comment thread. Pick the circle shape and turn on the transparent background, then export a PNG, to get a round avatar that sits cleanly on any coloured surface.
