How to Create Custom Rockstar Games account Avatars

Last Updated: December 13, 2024

Question: I've recently noticed custom Snapmatic avatars on some players' Rockstar Games profiles. How can I create a custom avatar for my profile?

Answer: In order to create a custom avatar on Rockstar Games, follow the steps below:

  1. Use the selfie option on your in-game phone’s camera to take a photo in GTAV and save it.

    • If you do not have a Rockstar Games account, and this is your first Snapmatic photo, then you will be required to create a Rockstar Games account in order to save it

    • If you are on PS4, Xbox One, or PC you will need to manually upload your photo to Rockstar Games from the gallery in the pause menu

  2. Sign-in with your Rockstar Games account on the Rockstar Games website

  3. Click on your Profile icon at the top right of your Profile

  4. Select Settings

  5. Select the Avatar tab

  6. Under the Category section of the Avatar tab select ‘Snapmatic Selfies and Mugshots’

  7. Select a photo from the Select Avatar options

  8. Under Selected Avatar click Confirm

If your account is linked but your photos don’t appear anywhere on the Rockstar Games website, then you will need to upload them via the Gallery in the in-game Pause Menu. If your Snapmatic does not appear in the Avatar Picker, it may be invalid for one of the following reasons:

  • Only GTAV selfies and mugshot photos are eligible Custom Avatars

  • Photos taken prior to May 2015 may not appear in the list

  • Photos altered with the meme creator will not appear in the list
