How it works
- 01
Describe your character in plain words: hair, eyes, clothes and mood. Skip names of shows and use looks instead.
- 02
Pick a style, such as classic anime, soft pastel, chibi or 90s cel, and press Generate.
- 03
Download the square picture and set it as your profile picture. Try the other styles for a second look.
What you get
Six anime styles
Classic anime, soft pastel, dark shonen, chibi, 90s cel or webtoon, all from the same words.
Made for a round crop
The face sits in the center with space around it, on a plain background, so a circle keeps the whole head.

Make an anime pfp from words
The Anime PFP Maker turns a short description into a square anime profile picture. Say who the character is, pick one of six styles and get a picture with the face in the center, on a plain background, ready to crop into a circle.
It makes original characters. Nothing is copied from a show, so the avatar is yours: a girl with silver hair, a fox-eared friend or a sleepy cat boy with headphones.
How to write a pfp prompt
Short and specific works best. Include these:
- Who: a girl, a boy, a fox-eared friend, a robot, a wizard.
- Hair and eyes: the color and the cut, the eye color, glasses or freckles.
- One detail: a red scarf, a hoodie, headphones, a star earring.
- Mood: gentle smile, confident grin, sleepy, surprised.
Example: "a girl with short silver hair, green eyes and a gentle smile" gives a clean, friendly pfp in any of the six styles.
Anime pfp ideas to try
- Cozy: a girl with a scarf and a cup of cocoa, a boy with a knitted hat, a cat in a hoodie.
- Fantasy: an elf with long silver hair, a young wizard with a tiny star, a fox spirit with a lantern.
- Gamer: a character in big headphones, a masked fighter, a robot with glowing eyes.
- Funny: a sleepy frog in a cape, a panda with sunglasses, a ghost with a party hat.
From picture to profile
Download the picture and upload it where you want it. Many apps crop a profile picture into a circle, which is why the face is centered with space around it. If you want the avatar to look like you, the AI Anime Generator turns a photo into anime art. For a full original character with a sheet, try the OC maker.

Frequently asked questions
Is the anime pfp maker free?
Yes. You can make 3 free pictures a day without an account. After that, sign up with an email address and you get 400 free trial credits. One picture costs 30 credits, so that is about 13 more pictures.
Do I need an account?
Not for the 3 free pictures a day. To make more you need a free account, so we can give you your trial credits and keep your pictures.
Can I make an anime pfp from my own photo?
Not on this page, which draws from your words. To turn a photo of yourself into anime art, use the AI Anime Generator: it keeps your face, hair and outfit.
Which anime styles can I choose?
Classic anime, soft pastel, dark shonen, chibi, 90s cel and webtoon. You can also steer the look with your words, such as "freckles", "long scarf" or "sunset glow".
How do I get a pfp that looks good in a circle?
Every picture is asked for with the face in the center and space around it, so a circle crop keeps the whole head. Many apps show profile pictures in a circle. If a result sits too far to one side, generate it again.
Can I use it on TikTok, Discord or Instagram?
Yes. Download the picture and upload it as your profile picture. Every paid plan includes commercial use of what you make here. Ziztu is not affiliated with TikTok, Discord or Instagram.
Will it draw a character from a show?
No. The tool draws original characters from your words, so describe the look, such as hair color, eyes, clothes and mood, instead of a name. Each picture is generated new, so the same words give a different pfp each time.
How long does it take?
Usually under half a minute.
Which AI model draws the pfps?
Pictures made with credits are drawn by Meta Muse Image, Meta's image model, for 30 credits. The 3 free pictures a day without an account are drawn by Z-Image Turbo, a fast, low priced image model, so they can look different. To redraw a photo as anime art, the AI Anime Generator uses Nano Banana Pro instead.
