The besT avaTar apps
1. MyIdol
Do you want a creepy avatar of yourself
pole dancing or lifting weights? You
do? Well MyIdol is the app for you. You
basically upload a mugshot and the app
makes a mini-moving body with your selfie
on. The instructions are all in Chinese, so
it might take few goes to get it right, and
you will very possibly end up with some
weird features by accident, but it's all part
of the fun.
2. FuTuraMa head-In-a-Jar creaTor
We may not be in the 31st century, but
one of the things featured in Futurama is
already (kind of) with us. Thanks to this
app you can have your own head in a jar!
And there's no need to stop at human
heads, because you can create custom
alien and robot heads which all sit in your
personal Head Museum. You can even put
them to good use; they make for great
caller ID pics.
3. phoTo skeTch
Ok this is a pretty simple one; Photo
Sketch lets you turn a photo of yourself
into a sketch. Yep, that's your lot. This little
app converts your snaps into mini works
of art thanks to its package of image
effects filters. So we've covered literally
everything it can do, but it's worth a go
because it does do it pretty damn well
(and we definitely cannot sketch in real
life).
4. bITFace
Again, another one that's super simple but
very effective. Bitface basically creates
8-bit avatars out of your selfies, perfect
for those who are feeling the retro vibe
or those who just want to pixelate their
face a little bit. If you want to 8-bit your
whole body you'll have to move to another
8-bit avatar generation site, but this app is
perfect for a quick profile pic swap.
Chinese app MyIdol has taken us all by surprise and become a social media sensation this month - weird animated
versions of celebrities have surely popped up on your timelines – so in honour of this we're presenting you with our fave
avatar apps
