The fastest ways to get new avatars in VRChat are: try or buy from the in‑game Avatar Marketplace, visit avatar worlds full of avatar pedestals, or clone another player’s avatar if they allow it. Marketplace purchases bind the avatar to your account and can be tried on instantly from the Main Menu → Avatars → Explore. For details on Marketplace use and purchases see the VRChat How do I find or buy an avatar? guide.
If you want more control or unique models, you can import avatars from external sites (e.g., Booth, Gumroad) or create/upload your own using VRChat’s creator tools. Typical steps: download the avatar files, set them up in Unity (or use the VRChat Creator Companion), test with the VRChat SDK, and upload—see the Avatar Marketplace / Creator Economy docs and the official uploading/creator documentation for step‑by‑step instructions. Quick recap of options:
- Browse/try/buy in Avatars → Explore (Avatar Marketplace)
- Visit “avatar” worlds and use pedestals
- Clone a player’s avatar via the Quick Menu (if enabled)
- Import or upload custom avatars with Creator Companion + Unity/SDK
Check the official help pages linked above for platform limits, credit purchases, and Creator Economy rules before buying or uploading.
