Describble

Describe someone. Watch them get drawn.

Hand-drawn avatars from a sentence. No AI, no account, nothing to install.

Tap a face to write its sentence, then change any word.

No AI. Just words and a pencil.

Every word you write picks a piece drawn by hand: hair, hats, glasses, piercings, moods. If it does not know a word, it tells you.

Change a word and only that piece is redrawn. The lines keep wobbling a little, like a sketch that is still alive.

It runs in your browser and keeps working offline. Your sentence never leaves your device.

Use it as your profile picture

  1. Describe yourself, or anyone.
  2. Download the PNG: 1024 × 1024, ready for a round crop.
  3. Upload it on GitHub, Discord, Slack or wherever you have a face.

Open source, and free to use

The code is MIT and every drawing is CC0: use your avatar anywhere, no credit needed. Missing a word or a hat? Suggest it, or draw it.

Questions

Is Describble really free?

Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no paid plan. Describe someone, download the PNG and it is yours.

Does it use AI?

No. Your words are matched against a dictionary written by hand, and each match picks a piece drawn by hand. Nothing is generated by an AI model, and it all runs in your browser.

Can I use my avatar anywhere?

Yes. Every drawing is CC0: use it as your profile picture on GitHub, Discord, WhatsApp, Twitch or Slack, in a game or a project, even a commercial one, with no credit needed.

How do I set it as my profile picture?

Describe the character, press Download PNG (1024 × 1024, fits a round crop), then upload the image in your profile settings.

Is what I write private?

Your sentence never leaves your browser. To learn new words, single words it did not understand can be counted anonymously, never the sentence, and one click turns that off.

Which languages does it understand?

English and Italian, mixed freely. More languages are on the way, and you can help add them on GitHub.

Keep it free

Describble has no ads and no paid plan. If it made you smile, you can buy the drawings a coffee.
