I built an AI-powered square face generator that creates stylized avatars from photos in styles like Cartoon, Anime, 3D, and Video Game — the kind that's been trending on TikTok recently.

While researching, I noticed a lot of people looking for the original Flash Museum pixel avatar maker by h071019. Since Flash is dead, I used the Ruffle emulator to bring it back. It has 12 customization categories, outputs 256×256 PNGs, and is completely free with no sign-up.

Tech stack: Next.js. Still iterating.
