What Avatar Frame can do
Built around the circle, not the square
Every messenger takes a square avatar and shows you the circle inscribed in it, which means the corners are thrown away and anything drawn near them is lost or, worse, half-visible. The band here is measured out from that circle rather than from the edges of the image, with a few pixels of margin for clients that zoom a hair past 1:1. That is the whole reason the result looks deliberate instead of clipped: the ring is placed where the crop actually falls. The preview shows the circular mask by default, and the square view keeps the crop outline visible so you can see what is about to be cut before you download anything.
The text is drawn, not pasted
Most avatar-frame tools composite a ready-made image, which fixes both the wording and the language: an overlay drawn for OPEN TO WORK has no idea what to do with ИЩУ РАБОТУ or with À LA RECHERCHE D’UN EMPLOI, which is more than twice as long. Here the band and its lettering are generated as vectors from whatever you type. The type size and letter spacing are fitted to the arc, so a short word fills it and a long phrase shrinks to sit inside it. Type your own status in any language and it lands correctly — Cyrillic, Turkish dotted capitals and accented Latin included.
What survives at 40 pixels
The avatar you spend a minute perfecting is mostly seen as a thumbnail in a chat list, roughly forty pixels across. Two or three short words in heavy capitals survive that; a sentence does not. The colour pairings offered here are fixed rather than free — ring and text are chosen together so the contrast holds when the image is scaled down, which is the difference between a status somebody reads and a smudge they scroll past. Export at 512 px for Telegram, or 1024 px if your profile is shown large on a retina screen.

Questions
Which apps does this work with?
Any service that crops a square avatar to a circle — Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, LinkedIn, X. The output is a plain square PNG, so services that show avatars as rounded squares work too; the band simply sits a little further from the corner.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The photo is decoded, cropped and composited by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. There is no account and no watermark on the result.
Can I write my own status, in my own language?
Yes. The presets are a shortcut, not a limit — type anything into the field and the lettering is re-fitted to the arc. Longer phrases are set smaller so they still fit.
What size should I export?
Telegram stores profile photos at 512 px, which is the default here and is enough for almost everything. Pick 1024 px if your face is shown large, for instance on a LinkedIn profile header on a high-density screen.
