This is one of the options on this site, and by far and away my favorite (check out the tabs for the other options) and it is way too funny! I’ve honestly been fooling around with this site for a couple of hours now. What you’re going to need is a nice clear, face on photo to make your avatar out of.
You can upload your photo one of two ways: click the browse button and find where it is located on your computer and open it up, or you can type in the URL from where you have your photo uploaded already (photobucket, facebook, etc).
Once you have your photo ready to go, you’ll need to select what sort of effect you want. Your options are: Emotion, Collages, Bizarre Filters, Animated Mask Effects, or Animated Frames.
After you’ve selected the effect you want, you’ll need to make some decisions. What size do you want your avatar, the default is 130 but some places only allow avatars to 100. You can also disable animation – this is very useful for the animated frames. Next you can set the number of frames the animation has, and how fast or slow you want the animation to go.
Now either save it to your hard drive or share it with the buttons below the options you were just editing. Make sure you pick either of those options or your photo will only exist there for 12 hours!
Check it out today!
