Example
Source: a full-length portrait in a garden (the image is generated).
The avatar made from this photo:
The face, hair and earrings are preserved, and the frame is built for a round crop: the face in the center, a plain background, room around the edges.
Prompt for Telegram and VK
Model: Nano Banana Pro, 2K, 1:1 format.
Use the person from the uploaded photo and keep the face exactly the same: features, face shape, eye color, skin texture, hairstyle. Head and shoulders portrait, facing the camera, centered for a round profile picture, the face fills about 60% of the frame. Smooth muted teal gradient background, soft even studio light, slight friendly smile, sharp focus on the eyes. 1:1
Change the background color to suit you: «soft beige», «light grey», «deep navy». A plain background looks better in a small circle than a detailed one.
For a CV and LinkedIn
Use the person from the uploaded photo and keep the face exactly the same. Professional headshot, navy blazer and white shirt, neutral light grey background, soft window light, natural confident expression, photorealistic, no heavy retouching. 1:1
Keep the look close to reality: you are the one who will show up at the interview.
Gaming avatar
Turn the person from the uploaded photo into a stylized 3D game character avatar. Keep recognizable features: face shape, hairstyle, hair color, beard or glasses if present. Head and shoulders, dark background with neon blue rim light, confident look. 1:1
More styles: yourself in anime, cartoon and 3D style.
Which photo to upload
- front-facing, face close up;
- daylight, no harsh shadows;
- no sunglasses and no beauty filters;
- 2 or 3 photos from different angles work better if the model struggles to hold the face.

Check before you set it
- Shrink the avatar to the size of the messenger circle: is the face still recognisable?
- Does the round crop cut off the chin or the top of the head?
- Does the background compete with the face?
Other people’s photos
Make avatars from your own photo or from a photo of someone who does not mind. An avatar with another person’s face, especially a famous one, made without consent breaks the law, and models often refuse such requests: AI refuses to generate.

In short
An AI avatar is made from a single photo: «keep the face unchanged», a head-and-shoulders portrait in the center, a plain background, 1:1 format. The face should take up about 60% of the frame so the round crop does not cut anything off. One avatar on Nano Banana Pro costs about 25 rubles.
