Works on Windows, phones, tablets and Mac.
My best friendLive demo
One photo is all it needs.
Sample faces are made by a computer, not real people. Yours uses the face from your photo.
It keeps you company while you work
A desktop buddy with a face you know. It wanders in, says something, and gets on with its day while you get on with yours.
From photo to buddy in a few easy steps
No technical knowledge needed. If you can pick a photo, you can make a buddy.
Say who it is to you
My friend, my partner, my boss, my enemy, my mum and more. It changes how your buddy treats you.
Pick a personality
Cheerful, grumpy, shy or dramatic. Mix a few until it feels like them.
Pick what it does
Tick the things your buddy loves, from coffee to football.
Hello, it is me!
Meet your buddy
It walks in, waves and gets on with its day. That is it.

Who is it to you?
Tell your buddy who it is and it talks to you that way. Teasing, never mean.
You said five minutes. That was an hour ago.
And many more: best friend, crush, ex, dad, grandparent, neighbour, teacher, roommate.
Then play with it
Harmless cartoon fun that depends on who it is. Slapstick only. Nobody gets hurt.
- Your bossA slap with a wet towel.
- Your rivalSuction darts that stick.
- Your rival, againOne well aimed tomato.
- A friendA tickle or a high five.
- Your partnerA love confession and a blown kiss.
- Your partner, on a good dayFlowers, just because.
Same face. A body that fits.
The head stays exactly as it is in your photo. The body is drawn to match the build, so your buddy really walks, sits and dances. Think of it as a desktop pet made from a photo of someone you know.

Pick one of 16 and the speech bubbles follow. This website stays in English.

Make your buddy freeQuestions people ask first
It turns one photo into a little buddy. The head is the real face from your photo. The body is a drawing, so your buddy can really walk, sit, dance and do things on your screen.
No. You choose a photo, say who it is to you, pick a personality, pick what it does, and meet it. You do not need to know anything technical.
More than 40 things, and you choose which ones. Coffee and frappé, souvlaki, ice cream, cooking, lifting weights, yoga, football, cycling, driving a car, dancing, singing, guitar, fishing, backgammon, selfies, phone calls, jokes, napping and much more. It does them on its own, with sounds and speech bubbles.
Yes. The fun depends on who your buddy is to you. Slap the boss with a wet towel, throw suction darts or a tomato at a rival, tickle or high five a friend, or get a love confession, a blown kiss or flowers from a partner. It is cartoon slapstick only. Nobody gets hurt.
No. A buddy is a simulation. It is not the real person and it is not conscious. YourBuddyfy is for adults only, aged 18 and over, and you must have the permission of the person in the photo.
You choose one photo. On your own device the head is cut out, so the face stays exactly as it is in the photo. It is placed on a drawn body that matches the build: slim, average, athletic, curvy or heavy. You can change the build with one tap.
It cannot show the face from angles that are not in the photo, and it cannot turn around. The body is a drawing, not a photo of the person, so a buddy is a likeness and never a full copy.
Your own, or a photo of an adult who has given you permission. You confirm this before you add the photo. Photos of children, and photos of anyone without their permission, are not allowed.
All of them. On Windows 10 and Windows 11 your buddy lives on the desktop in its own window that stays on top, with a free download. On phones, tablets, Mac and anything else it runs in the browser, and you can add it to your home screen. Two taps to start.
Your photo is analysed on your own device. The photo and the cut out head are then kept privately in your account so your devices can load your buddy. They go nowhere else unless you clearly choose it.
You pick one of 16: English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Urdu, Indonesian, German, Japanese, Turkish, Vietnamese or Greek. The website itself is in English.
No. Everything works out of the box. Your buddy moves, reacts and answers with replies that are built in. No AI account and no key are needed.
