Chibi Maker

Shrink any character into a tiny, adorable chibi, or generate a blank chibi base to draw your own.

Two ways to use the chibi maker

1. Chibi character

Describe a character, or choose one from My Characters, and get a fully colored chibi version: big head, small body, huge expressive eyes. Perfect for avatars, stickers, emotes and merch mockups.

2. Chibi base

Get clean, blank chibi line art in the pose you choose: standing, sitting, waving, hugging, sleeping, couples and groups. Download it, then draw your own character's hair, face and outfit on top. Great for practice, art trades and OC sheets.

How to make a chibi

  1. Choose a mode: chibi character or chibi base.
  2. Pick a pose and an expression.
  3. Add details (character mode): hair, outfit, accessories, colors, or start from a saved character.
  4. Generate and download a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background.

What makes a good chibi

  • Proportions: about two to three heads tall, with the head as big as the body
  • Simple hands and feet: rounded shapes, few fingers drawn
  • Big eyes, tiny mouth: most of the emotion lives in the eyes
  • Keep the signature details: a chibi version should still be recognizable by its hair, colors and one key accessory
