Is Square Face Generator free to use?

Yes! The core avatar generator is 100% free with no signup required. You can create unlimited avatars and download them in multiple sizes (64px, 128px, 256px, 512px). We may introduce optional premium packs later, but the main tool will always remain free.

Can I export transparent PNGs?

Yes! Choose the 'Transparent' option under Background colors. When you see a checkerboard pattern in the preview, your download will be a transparent PNG that you can overlay on any background.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes! Square Face Generator is fully optimized for mobile with 44px+ touch targets, responsive design, and works offline in modern mobile browsers. Create and download avatars directly from your phone or tablet.

Why won't my avatar download?

Make sure your browser allows downloads from this site. If you see a blank file, try a different size (512×512 works best) and ensure pop-ups aren't blocked. Safari users may need to long-press and select 'Download Image'.

Can I save my avatar design to edit later?

Currently, designs are not saved between sessions. We recommend taking a screenshot of your settings or downloading your avatar immediately. A save/load feature is on our development roadmap.

What's the difference between Square Face Generator and Picrew?

Square Face Generator offers a unified, consistent art style with multi-size PNG exports and transparent backgrounds. Picrew hosts many different creator-made generators. Our tool focuses on the iconic square face style with modern HTML5 technology (no Flash required).
