Pixel Avatars for Every Platform: Discord, X, and Beyond
You’ve made a square face, an oval face, or maybe a square face cube — now what? Here’s how to get the most out of your pixel avatars across Discord, X (Twitter), TikTok, and other places, plus how to share them in our Community.
Why Pixel Avatars Work Everywhere
Pixel-style avatars are easy to read at small sizes. That’s exactly what you need for profile pictures: they stay clear in comment sections, sidebars, and message lists. Tools like the Square Face Generator, Oval Face Generator, and Square Face Cube Generator output clean 256×256 PNGs that scale down nicely.
Discord
Discord profile pictures are often shown as small circles. Your square or oval face will be cropped to a circle, so keep the important parts (eyes, expression) near the center.
- Square Face Generator: Classic choice; the square crops well to a circle.
- Oval Face Generator: Already rounder — can feel more “native” in a circular frame.
- Square Face Cube Generator: Use a screenshot of your cube’s best angle for a unique 3D look.
Upload your PNG in User Settings → My Account → Change Avatar. If you share your creation in our Community, you can also link it in your Discord status or bio.
X (Twitter) and Social Feeds
Profile pictures on X and similar platforms are small and circular. Same rule: center the face and keep the design simple so it’s recognizable at 400×400 or smaller.
- Use SAVE from any of our generators to get a 256×256 PNG.
- Crop or resize in an editor if the platform asks for a specific size; 256×256 is usually accepted.
- Post your pixel avatar with a link to the Square Face Generator or Community so others can try it too.
TikTok, Forums, and More
TikTok, Reddit, forums, and gaming platforms often use circular or square avatars. A single square face or oval face design can be reused everywhere — just export once and upload where needed.
Tip: Keep 2–3 variants (e.g. one square, one oval, one cube screenshot) so you can match the vibe of each platform.
Share in Our Community
After you create something you like:
- Go to the Community section on the site.
- Submit a comment with your image (required) and a short note.
- Others can like and see your work; you can discover theirs and get inspiration.
Your post can say which generator you used (Square Face, Oval Face, or Square Face Cube) so new users know where to start.
Quick Recap
- Square Face Generator → Flat, iconic pixel avatar; great default.
- Oval Face Generator → Softer, rounder pixel avatar; great for a friendly look.
- Square Face Cube Generator → 3D cube avatar; great for standing out.
