How it works
Upload a photo
One sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo. One photo per figurine.
Pick a style
20+ styles available: hero, knight, cyberpunk, athlete, chibi, fantasy. The AI adapts your portrait to the chosen universe.
Figurine generation
The AI builds your custom figurine from the photo and style. You can then place your order for printing.
Resin printing, ready to paint
The model is printed in our French workshop on SLA resin (Anycubic Photon Mono M7, 14K), supports removed, cleaned up. Shipped within ~10 business days.
Who it's for
A figurine of yourself
Turn your own photo into a miniature you. You don't know what it's like until you hold it in your hand.
Unique personalized gift
A friend's photo becomes their own figurine. A gift they will not find anywhere else.
Childhood memory figurine
Turn an old photo into a figurine for your parents or siblings — a tangible memory you can gift.
Pet portrait figurine
One photo of your dog, cat or exotic pet is enough to craft their 3D figurine, ready to paint.
Couple or family figurines
One figurine per person, one photo per figurine. Rebuild your couple or family in miniature.
Why choose Minivatar
One photo is enough
No need for 10 angles or a photo session — the AI works from a single sharp, front-facing photo.
100% automated flow
Upload to generation, everything runs through our AI engine. No waiting for a human reviewer — your figurine is ready as soon as generation completes.
Resin printing, not PLA
Smooth surfaces, fine details. Consumer-grade PLA simply cannot reach that level.
Ready to paint
The figurine ships clean and supports-free, ready to prime and paint in your own colors. That final step is yours.
One photo, one figurine
The Minivatar workflow is simple: send a single photo, pick a graphic style, and the AI sculpts a figurine inspired by your portrait and the chosen universe. The figurine is then printed in high-definition resin and shipped ready to paint, from €18.
What a photo captures well (and less well)
What renders beautifully:
- The overall face shape (proportions, jawline, cheekbones)
- The hairstyle visible in the photo
- The general silhouette adapted to the chosen style
What's simplified or not rendered:
- Colors (skin, eyes, hair, clothing): the figurine ships unpainted, you apply the colors yourself
- Small accessories (thin glasses, piercings, small jewelry, cords): the AI simplifies or removes them so the piece stays printable and sturdy in resin
- Very fine fabric patterns: replaced by the garments of the chosen style
Painting is on you
The figurine arrives as raw resin, ready to paint. That's where you bring your touch: primer, base coats, shadows, highlights, details, varnish. Standard acrylic miniature paints (Citadel, Vallejo, AK, Scale75) — and it becomes your piece, in your colors, with your signature.
