PNGTuber online in three steps
Everything runs in your browser. Your mic and camera never leave your computer.
- 1
Pick a model or upload yours
Tap one of the 26 free models, or drop your mouth-closed and mouth-open PNGs into Your own PNGTuber. A blink picture is optional; without one, your PNG still sways and hops.
- 2
Test your mic
Click Test my mic and say something. The mouth opens when the level bar passes the marker. Quiet mic? Drag Sensitivity to the right. Want your head to move too? Turn on Face tracking.

Why a web PNGTuber
No download, no account
Desktop PNGTuber apps mean an installer, updates and another window to manage. Here you open a tab and you're done. No sign-up for the tool itself.
Mic and webcam, both local
Lip sync listens to your microphone in the browser. Face tracking runs Google's MediaPipe on your device, so the head turns and tilts with yours. No audio or video is uploaded.
Made for OBS and TikTok Live
Green or blue background for any Window Capture, a 9:16 vertical layout and a corner widget for TikTok, and a transparent Browser Source link for OBS.

PNGTuber questions
What is a PNGTuber?
A PNGTuber (or PNG Tuber) is a streamer who uses a 2D picture as their on-screen avatar instead of a camera. The picture switches between mouth-closed and mouth-open as you talk, and often blinks or bounces. It is the simplest kind of VTuber: no 3D model or rigging needed.
Is this PNGTuber app free?
Yes. The web app, the free models, the green screen mode and the OBS link are free, with no account and nothing to install.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a computer. Face tracking downloads a small face model the first time you turn it on (about 8 MB, cached afterwards).
How do I add my PNGTuber to OBS?
Two ways. With a green screen: choose Green, click Go live, add a Window Capture of the browser in OBS and a Chroma Key filter. With a transparent link: click Make OBS link and paste it into an OBS Browser Source, and keep the pngtuber.org tab open while you stream.
What pictures do I need for my own PNGTuber?
At least two PNGs of the same size: mouth closed and mouth open, ideally with transparent backgrounds. Optionally add eyes-closed versions so it blinks. PNG, WebP, GIF and JPEG all work, up to 3 MB each.
Can my PNGTuber follow my head?
Yes. Turn on Face tracking and allow the camera. Your avatar turns and tilts with your head. The camera picture is processed on your device and never uploaded.
Can I use the free models on my stream?
Yes. Pip, Mika, Theo, Nori, Fen and Boo are pngtuber.org originals: use them in any stream or video, personal or commercial. The other models are by LivLiv: free for personal streams and videos, including monetised ones, with credit "Characters: LivLiv (livliv.ai)", but not for companies, ads, paid products or merchandise. See the Credits page.
