Picrew PFP Maker

A Picrew PFP is a profile picture made with an image maker instead of a photo. It became a habit on Twitter, Discord and TikTok because it lets you show a face that looks like you, or like your character, without posting a real picture of yourself.

This page opens the maker in portrait mode. The canvas is already square and the download is 1024 x 1024 pixels, so there is nothing to crop.

Sizes that work on each platform

Every major platform accepts a square image and then masks it into a circle or rounded square. A 1024 pixel square is larger than any of them need, so the picture stays sharp after compression.

• Discord, TikTok, X and Instagram show avatars as circles. Keep important details, such as a hat tip or long ears, away from the corners.
• Twitch and YouTube also use circles, at small sizes in chat. Bold shapes and a plain background read best.
• Steam and forums use squares, so the whole canvas is visible, including background patterns.

What makes a PFP readable at small size

Your picture will mostly be seen at about the size of a fingernail. Three things survive that: the hair outline, the eye color and the background color. Choose a background that contrasts with the hair, pick an eye color that differs from both, and skip tiny details that vanish when the image shrinks.

Expressions matter more in a PFP than in a full body picture. Wink, Happy closed and Cat mouth give personality that still shows at small sizes.

Matching PFPs with friends

Because every color is adjustable, a group can share one base and vary a single thing. Build a character, press Copy link and send it to your friends. Each person opens the link, changes the hair or accent color and downloads their own version. For two characters in one picture, use the couple maker.
