Certain AI like Lensa AI will take your skin tone, facial features, and hair into consideration.

What is an AI Avatar?

An AI Avatar is an AI-generated version of yourself.

It’s usually photorealistic and matches your skin tone, hair, and facial features.

There are multiple AI technologies that you can use to generate avatars of yourself.

Currently, Lensa AI is the most popular one in the market.

The avatars are vibrant, unique, and other-worldly.
