# Avatar

The ***Avatar*** serves as the visual embodiment of your AI chatbot, adding a unique and captivating element to its character and overall presence.

{% hint style="info" %}
Avatars can be in various formats including PNG, GIF, and JPEG. We recommend using a rectangle aspect ratio image that is 512x512 for best display results and more flexibility.
{% endhint %}

**Uploading an Avatar**: Alternatively, if you already have an avatar, you can upload it directly.

{% hint style="warning" %}
An avatar is mandatory. You won't be able to create a character without an avatar.
{% endhint %}

Choose or create an avatar that embodies your AI chatbot's personality and theme. A compelling avatar can significantly enrich the user's interaction with your chatbot.
