Your face rebuilt from tiny colored cubes

Voxels are the three-dimensional cousins of pixels, small cubes stacked into shapes. They give a portrait a chunky, game-like feel with crisp shadows. Send a selfie, name your hair and outfit colors, and the bot builds a cubic version of you.

Simplify to keep the likeness

Cubes erase fine detail, so strong shapes matter. A beard, bangs, round glasses or a bright hat read clearly even with a blocky grid. If the face looks generic, rerun with 'larger cubes, strong hair silhouette, exaggerated glasses'. A smaller cube size gives more detail but less charm, so pick based on where the avatar will be shown. Try two or three cube sizes and keep the one that still feels like you.

Fits for games and teams

A voxel portrait looks great as a game profile, a team page for a studio or a sticker sheet. Build a set of colleagues with the same background color and cube size and they will look like one crew. This is an original look and does not copy any game character. Check your platform's avatar size rules before uploading. A trio of poses, such as a wave and a thumbs up, makes a fun sticker set.

Tips

Name three features that identify you.
Choose a flat pastel backdrop.
Ask for soft isometric shadows.
Request a bust only, which keeps cubes readable.
