PNGtuber Maker: Create a Character Avatar Video Call
A PNGtuber is a character you control during video calls and streams. With Morfous, you can make a PNGtuber in minutes without installing software—your camera drives the character in real time, copying your expressions and mouth movements as you talk.
What Is a PNGtuber?
A PNGtuber is a simple character avatar that you control while on camera. Unlike more complex 3D models, a PNGtuber traditionally uses flat images, but the core idea is the same: you appear on stream or in a call as a character rather than yourself.
The name comes from the image file format, but what matters is the result—your audience sees your character's face and expressions, not your own. Streamers use PNGtubers to create a consistent on-camera presence, teachers use them to feel more relaxed during lessons, and remote teams use them to make calls more fun and less formal.
How to Make a PNGtuber with Morfous
Morfous is a free PNGtuber maker that works in your browser. You have several options:
- Pick a ready-made character and start calling right away.
- Upload a single photo of your face and we generate a cartoon version of you.
- Build your own character in the Character Creator, customizing everything from head shape to clothing.
- Upload your own VRM or GLB avatar if you already have one.
Once your character is ready, your camera drives it. Your real face movements—smiles, frowns, head turns—show up on your character instantly. No rendering, no delays.
Use Your PNGtuber in Video Calls and Streams
Morfous works anywhere you need it. Call someone directly by sharing a link or your Morfous number. The app has built-in chat for text, links and images, plus saved contacts and call alerts.
If you stream on Twitch or use Zoom, Google Meet or Discord, you can pipe your Morfous avatar into those platforms so your character appears instead of your webcam. Add voice effects to change pitch and tone, switch facial expressions with a reactions menu, or use arm tracking and hand gestures to make your character move more expressively.
Why Make a Free PNGtuber?
Creating a PNGtuber is free because Morfous runs in your browser and stores your characters on your device—nothing is installed on your computer. You own your character from the start.
Streamers use PNGtubers to build a brand without expensive software. Teachers and counselors use them to create a calm, professional presence that feels less intrusive than being on camera. Families use them to play together on calls. Remote teams use them to break up the monotony of regular video meetings.
Customize Your Look
Morfous gives you fine control over how your PNGtuber looks and behaves. Switch between neutral, happy, angry, sad, relaxed and surprised expressions using expression keys and a reactions menu. Add visual effects like sparkles and hearts when you react.
Choose from different backgrounds and framing options to frame your character. If you prefer not to use your camera at all, use buttons mode to move your character while you still talk and type. Your voice and text carry the conversation.
PNGtuber Maker—No Experience Needed
You do not need to be an artist or streamer to use Morfous. The ready-made characters work immediately, and the photo-to-cartoon feature takes seconds. If you want more control, the Character Creator is visual and intuitive—no code, no special software.
Morfous is made by a small team in Phoenix, Arizona. Everything stays private on your device. Start free, and use it for hobby streams, professional calls, family hangouts or anything else.
