Big head ideas

One big head idea, every style

The proportions come from the idea, the look comes from the style card. Keep the same photo and idea and switch styles until the big head caricature fits where you will use it.

Really big, still you

The head grows to about three times normal size while your eyes, smile, hairline and glasses stay the same, which is what makes a big head caricature funny instead of strange.

Tiny body, full scene

The small body can still ride a bike, play guitar or hold an ice cream, so the picture tells a little story about you rather than floating a head on a blank page.

Avatars, cards and gifts

A big head caricature reads well even as a tiny profile picture, and it prints nicely on birthday cards, mugs and posters.

Tips for a big head caricature that still looks like you

The bigger the head, the more the photo matters.

01

Face the camera

A front or slight three-quarter view keeps the face shape right when it is enlarged. Avoid wide-angle selfies held too close.

02

Skip sunglasses and filters

Eyes and smile carry the likeness. Beauty filters and dark glasses make the enlarged face look like someone else.

03

Say how big

Write “head about three times normal size” for the classic look, or “twice normal size” for a gentler version that works well for work avatars.
