Square Face vs Oval Face: Which One Should You Choose?
Both the Square Face Generator and the Oval Face Generator live on the same site and share the same DNA: 12 categories, 200+ elements, no login, no Flash. The main difference is the shape of the canvas. Here’s how to choose.
Square Face Generator
- Shape: Square, geometric, sharp corners.
- Vibe: Iconic, retro, instantly recognizable. Great for gaming, Discord, and a “classic pixel” look.
- Best for: Profile pictures where a square or cropped circle is fine, and you want a bold, clear silhouette.
Try it on the Square Face Generator home page.
Oval Face Generator
- Shape: Rounded oval, softer edges.
- Vibe: Friendlier, more portrait-like, still 100% pixel art.
- Best for: Avatars where a rounder, gentler look fits better — same platforms, different mood.
