Avatar

Upload and edit your companion's profile picture.

The avatar is your companion's profile picture - the visual identity that users see on companion cards, in the chat interface, and on the public sharing page. A good avatar makes your companion feel more real and trustworthy.

Uploading an Avatar

Choose Your Image

In the Appearance section of the Persona tab, click Add and select an image from your device. Your companion's avatar is the first photo in the gallery, so if the gallery is empty, the image you add becomes the avatar. Otherwise, drag the photo you want to the front.

Crop and Adjust

Hover over the photo and click Edit & crop (the pencil icon) to open the Image Editor. Here you can:

  • Crop the image by dragging the selection area
  • Choose an aspect ratio from the preset buttons:
    • 1:1 - Square (great for profile pictures)
    • 5:1 - Wide banner strip
    • 4:5 - Portrait
    • 3:4 - Slightly taller portrait
    • 16:9 - Wide/landscape
    • Free - No constraints, crop however you like
  • Drag to reposition the crop area
  • Resize using the corner handles

Apply

When you are happy with the crop, click Apply. Remember to save your companion's settings for the change to take effect.

Editing an Existing Avatar

If you already have an avatar and want to adjust the cropping:

  1. Hover over the first photo (marked Avatar)
  2. Click the Edit & crop button (the pencil icon)
  3. The Image Editor will open with your current avatar loaded
  4. Adjust the crop and click Apply

Removing an Avatar

To go back to the default placeholder, remove every photo:

  1. Hover over a photo
  2. Click the Remove button (the trash icon)

If you only remove the first photo, the next one becomes the avatar.

Where Your Avatar Appears

  • On the companion card on your Creator Profile page
  • In the chat interface when users talk to your companion
  • In the photos gallery as the first image
  • In share previews when your companion's link is shared on social media

Images must be under 10 MB. For best results, use a square image with a clear subject. The image will be displayed at various sizes across the platform.
