What is the difference between a portrait and an avatar?
First of all, the difference between a “caricature” and an “avatar” is how much it resembles you!
A caricature is a 2D drawing that accurately captures your features, while an avatar is a digital alter-ego that has a three-dimensional, almost 3D feel!
With BeautyPlus, you can easily create and edit high-quality illustrated images from photos using the AI Portrait and AI Illustrator functions for “caricatures,” and the AI Avatar function for “avatars”!

Criteria for choosing a portrait maker app
Next, we will introduce six criteria for choosing a caricature maker app!
①The difference between the before and after photos should not be too big.
When I look at the images edited by the portrait maker, I notice that the size of the eyes is asymmetrical,
Your face shape may change and you may not get the results you expect.
So, we wondered if we could create an AI-powered drawing that would enhance a single photo.
Choose a caricature maker app that can learn from multiple photos and create a special AI drawing for you!
Example: AI Avatar
②You can choose multiple styles
For example, if you could use the caricature maker to create your favorite style, such as retro or idol style,
It will also broaden the scope of your photo editing options, and you might even get more likes on social media! ？ ♡
Try it out and see which style suits you best!
Example: AI Portrait
3. You can create multiple avatars until you find one you like.
Even if you create an avatar, there are times when the face you create doesn’t turn out the way you want it to (;;)
It would be sad if you chose a style you liked and ended up with a disappointing result.
In such cases, it is important to check whether you can try again when choosing a caricature maker app.
Try generating it over and over again until it looks good on Instagram!
Example) Select the same style for both AI avatars
4. You can choose who will be your AI avatar
When taking a photo with multiple people, there are times when you want to hide the faces of certain people, right?
In times like these, one option is to use a face-hiding stamp, but why not try creating an avatar or turning a photo into an AI illustration?
I recommend this stamp because it allows you to edit your photos in a much more stylish way than face-hiding stamps. °˖☆◝(⁰▿⁰)◜☆˖°
Example: AI Avatar
⑤The caricature maker’s generation speed is appropriate
The caricature maker is still a new feature, so it will take some time for the AI to generate and edit the images.
But if it’s too long it gets boring (;∀;)
So, try to choose a tool that can turn your photos into AI illustrations as quickly and easily as possible!
Example: AI Avatar
⑥ Ability to create high-quality AI avatars
It would be sad if the edited image turned out to be of low quality (tears)
High image quality is the norm these days, so be sure to look for an app that can generate high-quality AI photos!
High image quality is essential for Instagram-worthy photos! (+_+)

When to use a caricature maker or AI avatar?
We’ve introduced some seemingly unique caricature makers and AI avatar photo editing tools, but when would you use them?
I’ll tell you five recommended situations ♡
①Profile image
Are you embarrassed to post your real face on LINE or Instagram?
If you’re unsure about how to take a photo that looks good, we recommend using a caricature maker or AI avatar!
There are so many styles that it’s hard to choose ( ´∀｀ )
When you exchange contact information, the trendy illustrated photos might be a great conversation starter.
②When you want to hide your face
As mentioned earlier, this is also a great situation to use when you want to hide your face!
It’s more natural and stylish than face hiding stamps, so it’s sure to look great on Instagram ♥
Another great feature is that you can also turn specific people in a photo into AI illustrations!
By the way, you can find out how to edit photos using face-hiding stamps here!

③Greeting cards
For seasonal events such as Christmas, graduation ceremonies, birthdays, and other life events,
Would you like to include a message with your gift?
In such a case, try using a photo of the person you want to send it to and illustrating it with a caricature maker.
I’m sure they’ll be even more pleased!
Example: Using a template
④Artwork-like processing
For example, when posting pictures of food or scenery on social media, why not try editing the images to add a little extra flair?
BeautyPlus AI’s “Oil Painting”, “RENAISSANCE”, “Rococo”, “Victorian” and “Pointilism” styles can be used to create painting-like effects.
Even if it’s not a person’s face, this art style changes only the atmosphere, and it looks great on Instagram, so I definitely recommend you try it! (*^^)v
If you try editing your photos in a different atmosphere than usual, you might have an exciting encounter! (^^)!
Example) AI Portrait ←Oil Painting Rococo→
⑤Virtual avatar
Why not try using it as an avatar when you don’t want to show your face online?
For example, if you are worried about posting your face on a public Instagram account,
By posting only illustrated photos, you may be able to express a new side of yourself!
Example) AI avatar ←3D style cute→
