Decorate your avatar icon — or make your own

You can overlay decorations such as the fried shrimp or angel around your avatar icon. Besides the built-in presets, you can upload your own artwork to create an original decoration.

Adding a decoration

1. In the editor, tap your avatar icon, then open "Avatar settings" from the pencil button at the bottom right.
2. Pick a decoration under "Decoration". The preview updates immediately.
   • The presets (fried shrimp, sparkle ring, pixel hearts, little devil, glitter, angel) are still images overlaid on your avatar.
3. You can add one decoration "In front of avatar" and one "Behind avatar". Pick the position with the switch at the top, then choose a decoration. "Behind avatar" suits decorations that should peek out from behind, such as wings or a halo glow (any part covered by the avatar is hidden). You can also set separate custom images for the front and the back.
4. As always, the public page updates when you press "Update".

Creating a decoration from your own image

You can supply your own image to overlay on your avatar. The key is to create it as a PNG with a transparent background.

Using the template

We provide a template image for positioning.

• Download the template (PNG, 1200×1200)

For a full list that also covers the intro card and schedule card, see Download all the creator templates.

How to read the template:

• The whole canvas (1200×1200) is the drawable area.
• The circle in the center (800px diameter) is where your avatar icon sits. Decorations can stick out beyond the circle — like ears or a halo.
• If you set the avatar "Shape" to Rounded or Square in the avatar settings, your icon fills the 800×800 square around this circle instead. The size and position of the decoration stay the same whichever shape you pick.
• The crosshair marks the center.

Steps

1. Open the template in a drawing app (CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Procreate, ibisPaint, etc.).
2. Create a new layer above the template and draw your decoration on it.
3. Before exporting, hide the template (guide) layer.
4. Export as PNG with the background kept transparent.
5. Upload it from "Make a decoration from your image" in Avatar settings.

Notes

• Files up to 2MB. Larger images are automatically scaled down (long edge up to 1200px).
• JPEG has no transparency, so it would cover your whole icon with a rectangle. Use a transparent PNG.
• Uploaded images are kept in your image library and count toward your storage limit. If you stop using a decoration, you can delete the image from the library.
• You can distribute or sell decorations you made yourself, on BOOTH and elsewhere. See Distributing and selling your own decorations for the rules.

How it displays

• Decorations extend beyond the icon circle (up to the template's canvas area).
• Preset decorations are animated; your own image is static.
• For visitors with "reduce motion" enabled, preset animations are shown in their resting pose.
