In case you are not comfortable using your photo as a Google profile picture, the company has something that you may enjoy. Google has revealed its first batch of Google Illustrations, which look quite good and there is a wide variety of options.

Once you set your profile picture in Gmail, Google Workspace, Contacts on Android, you can select an illustration, which includes animals, mythical creatures, locations and hobbies. “To give everyone more safe, creative and personalised options for profile pictures, we are introducing new Google Illustrations… a collection of customisable images that anyone can use to design the image of their choice to represent them across most Google products,” the company has said.

This is unlike Snap’s Bitmoji or Microsoft’s Xbox avatars, which can let you make stylised representations of what you look like. Here, there is a wide variety of generic things and places to use for your avatar. “We all have different tastes and preferences. Whether you are a cat person, a foodie or an avid traveler, we’ve got you covered. Try searching for a place in your home country, a hobby you share with your friends, an animal or mythical creature that you like. Our collection of illustrations is inclusive of various cultures, interests and backgrounds,” announced the company.

You can adjust illustrations’ colours and focus to your own taste, whether you want to use the whole object or only a portion of it. Try focusing on individual elements of the images. The result might be a completely unique and different profile picture.

Google is “working on” bringing the new illustrations to iOS and web and to more products. The company says it’s also going to expand the collection of illustrations available, so if you don’t see one you like now, check back later.
