FaceQ for Windows 8/10

Regardless of whether you joined a forum where you can speak your mind because of anonymity or maybe you just want to have fun trying out a web personality that is different from your real-life, one of the things you cannot do without is an avatar.

FaceQ for Windows 8/10 is a utility that provides you with dozens of options, some more popular than others, to create cartoon avatars that you can use as your profile pictures.

Upon launch, the application enables you to choose whether you would like to create a boy or girl avatar. You can also work on two avatars at the same time, an option that can come in handy if you are creating it for an event or as a joke with your friends.

The highlight of the app stems from the numerous options in terms of hair, eyebrows, eyes, lips, shape of your face, clothes, hats and activities, just to name a few. In fact, with a little bit of patience, you might even be able to create an avatar that looks just like you.

While most design options fit in the model very well, the action counterparts could use some fine-tuning, especially since objects are positioned near the body. Moreover, your avatar can also end up with more hands and does not come with other clothes options than shirts and tops.

The app can also use a crop option and it would be nice if it allowed you to create your custom message rather than having to use the ones provided, as they may be considered clichés by a considerable amount of users. Then again, creating an avatar is as simple as it gets and does not require you any drawing skills.

Despite the fact that it could use more editing tools, FaceQ for Windows 8/10 is an application that can help you create a sleek avatar in a matter of minutes, even if you are not too talented with drawing.
