The online editor requires Macromedia Flash. It works by choosing shape and color of skin, hair and eyes. Clothing items and accessories even include name brands like Adidas. The items are displayed in a tab-style library. The editor includes functions to save favorite avatars, to export JPG/PNG image, and to generate HTML code (for display within own websites).
