Notion Faces offers a unique way for users to create custom self-portraits that reflect their individuality in the Notion workspace or in any digital platform. This handy tool allows you to design an avatar that resonates with your style, mood, and personality. Whether you want to use it as a profile picture or simply enjoy the creative process, Notion Faces invites everyone to participate in a fun and artistic experience that enhances productivity and personal identity within Notion.

What are Notion Faces?

Faces is Notion's latest update that allows users to create custom self-portraits in a Notion-style format. With a variety of facial features and accessories, you can easily personalize your avatar. These portraits can be used across various platforms—be it for profile pictures on social media like Instagram or as a unique digital creation to share on the web.

Whether you want to highlight your favorite accessories or capture your favorite skin tone, Notion Faces provides a canvas for artistic exploration.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Avatar

Creating your own Notion-style avatar is a seamless process that begins by navigating to the portrait maker at faces.notion.com. This user-friendly interface is accessible via any web browser on desktop or mobile. You can kickstart the fun by either generating a random portrait with the shuffle icon or diving straight into crafting a new face from scratch. The platform allows you to select and customize various attributes such as skin tone, eyes, brows, eyewear, nose, mouth, and hair.

To create your unique Notion Face, begin by selecting the features that resonate with you. The intuitive design of the interface makes it easy to adjust and experiment with different facial attributes. Once you're satisfied with your selections, you can save your creation, adding a catchy name, a description, and even a background color to complete the look.

Choosing Features and Styles

Notion Faces stands out for its extensive range of customization options that allow every user to create a portrait reflecting their identity and style. You can select different facial features like eye shape and color, brow styles, and hair types, along with fun accessories like glasses or hats. This inclusivity ensures that the platform caters to every mood and everyone, making it a truly versatile tool for self-expression.

Using Notion Faces in Your Notion Workspace

Once you have created and downloaded your Notion Face, the integration process is straightforward. Simply navigate to the settings menu in the sidebar and select 'My account'.
