First, go to myavatareditor.com.

Now, let’s see how to create an avatar.

You’ll begin with a screen similar to this. Personalize your avatar by adding general characteristics about yourself.

Now you are ready to add more specific characteristics to your avatar.

Once you are satisfied with your creation, you are ready to save. Click the save icon on the bottom left of the screen. When this screen appears, click export.
