# How to change an avatar's visual in the Ivy Avatar Builder

You can change an avatar's visual appearance by selecting a new image from the available gallery. In this article, you will learn how to browse the gallery, apply a new visual, and update the avatar's details to match.

#### Before you begin

* You must be in **Advanced Mode** to change an avatar's visual.
* Changing the visual does not automatically update the avatar's name or About section. You'll need to update these separately to keep them consistent with the new visual.

#### Step-by-step guide

<div style={{ position:"relative",paddingBottom:"calc(54.02777777777777% + 41px)",height:0,width:"600px",margin:"0 auto" }}>
  <iframe src="https://demo.arcade.software/CaRoiKuNwAj8YtKsMPJ8?embed&embed_mobile=tab&embed_desktop=inline&show_copy_link=true" title="Change an avatar's visual in the Ivy Avatar Builder" frameBorder="0" loading="lazy" webkitAllowFullScreen mozAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen allow="clipboard-write" style={{ position:"absolute",top:0,left:0,width:"100%",height:"100%",colorScheme:"light" }} />
</div>

1. On the avatar's profile screen, with **Advanced mode** turned on, click **Change avatar** below the profile photo.
2. In the **Pick an avatar** modal, browse the gallery of available avatar visuals.
3. Click a visual to select it. The selected card is highlighted with a blue border.
4. Click **Select** to apply the visual, or **Cancel** to close the modal without making changes.
5. The avatar's photo updates immediately on the profile screen.
6. Update the avatar's **name** and **About** section to match the new visual, since these fields don't update automatically.
7. Click **Publish** to save your changes.

<Tip>
  **Additional Tips**

  * Since the visual and the persona details (name, About) are independent, always review and update the text content after changing the visual to keep the persona consistent.
  * You can scroll through the gallery to see more avatar options before making a selection.
