It shows up in account settings, chat, comment threads, and team pages, wherever a person needs a visual stand-in. There are two ways to fill that space: a small illustrated character, or a plain icon on a colored circle. ## Character or Placeholder Abstract Avatars gives you 150 friendly, illustrated characters built for exactly this: profile pictures and user mugshots with some personality. If a character is too much, any Streamline icon works as a plain placeholder. A single glyph like a person or initial, on a colored circle, reads as neutral rather than decorative. ## Frequently asked questions Quick answers about avatar icons and placeholders. ### What are avatar icons? Avatar icons are small images that stand in for a profile photo. They can be illustrated characters or a plain icon on a colored circle, used wherever a user has not uploaded a real photo. ### Where can I download avatar icons? Visit [streamlinehq.com/elements/abstract-avatars](https://www.streamlinehq.com/elements/abstract-avatars) for the illustrated set, or [streamlinehq.com/icons](https://www.streamlinehq.com/icons) to pick any icon as a plain placeholder. ### Are avatar icons free? Abstract Avatars is part of the Pro library, with no free tier. If you want a free option, pick any icon from a free-tier set instead and use it as a plain placeholder. ### Should I use a character avatar or a plain icon? A character avatar adds personality, good for a consumer app or a social product. A plain icon on a colored circle stays neutral, better for a professional tool or an admin panel. ### Can I use avatar icons commercially? Yes. You can use them for all personal and commercial projects. ### What pairs well with avatar icons?
