cartoon avatar

Drawn digital self

A cartoon avatar is a stylized animated image representing a person online, typically used as a profile picture on social media or in virtual spaces.

Unlike photographic avatars, cartoon avatars abstract the user's appearance into illustrated form—sometimes resembling the person, sometimes entirely fictional: She uses a cartoon avatar instead of her real photo.

Services like Bitmoji popularized customizable cartoon avatars.
