Tools: Face Avatar Generator — My Submission For The Dev X Google Ai...

This post is my submission for DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio.

I built Face Avatar Generator, a lightweight browser app that transforms an uploaded face photo into a clean, stylized avatar. The app uses Imagen inside Google AI Studio to preserve facial identity while generating a polished, social‑media‑ready avatar.

"Please create an app that takes an image of a face and generates an identical social media avatar using Imagen."

The goal was to create a simple, fast, and fun tool that demonstrates how easily multimodal inputs and generative outputs can be combined into a single workflow.

Working through the Google AI Studio track gave me a much deeper appreciation for how quickly you can turn an idea into a working AI‑powered tool. A few things stood out:

Overall, this track was a fun excuse to build something creative, learn more about Imagen, and ship a working tool quickly.
