"What is an avatar? It is simply a picture representation of yourself. It is typically used in forums and online communities.To create an avatar you would need a photo that you want to use.You would need to decide what size you want your photo or image to be. You can turn yourself into a cartoon, a hero or a villian.Normally an avatar is a square image. Most photos are not square, so when the
. picture is resized 1 or both of the longer sides are cut off to create a square avatar.Digital cameras are very popular for taking photos. After you have selected the photo you want to resize, your avatar can be created from the resized photo.You can use your online tools to prepare your photos. If you are not at home you can use a computer at the library or at a friends house or anywhere computer access is available.Most people take their photos at the highest resolution available on their camera. This is great to get the possible image."
