Reddit and Forums: Why a Square Face Avatar Fits Perfectly
On Reddit and most forums, your avatar shows up next to every comment and post — usually small, sometimes circular. A square face or pixel avatar from the Square Face Generator is built for that: simple, readable, and distinct. Here’s why it fits and how to make one.
Built for Small Sizes
Reddit and forum avatars are often 32×32 or 48×48 in threads. Photos and complex art lose detail at that scale. A square face keeps eyes, expression, and colors clear because the Square Face Generator was designed for icon-sized output. What you create at 256×256 still reads when it’s tiny.
One Icon, Every Subreddit
Create your pixel avatar once on the Square Face Generator on our home page, save the PNG, and use it as your Reddit or forum avatar. Same square face everywhere — no need to change per community unless you want to. The Square Face Generator is free and needs no login, so you can come back anytime to make another style.
Stand Out Without Stealing Focus
Forums are about the discussion. A square face says “this is me” without distracting from the text. It’s unique (your combo of eyes, mouth, hair) but not noisy. Open the Square Face Generator and aim for 2–3 main colors and a clear expression; that’s usually enough for a great Reddit or forum icon.
Quick Workflow
- Go to the Square Face Generator and click Start.
- Use Random for a base, then adjust eyes, mouth, and colors.
- Click SAVE and upload the PNG in your Reddit or forum profile settings.
