The answer▼ Shrinking
- Visits, year on year, without Canva
- -9.6%
- Visits, last six months
- -15%
- Name searches vs October 2025
- -0.6%
Every month I add up the Google visits to the 15 AI avatar generator sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 249 million visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Canva; without it, visits are down 10% on a year ago.
The total hides very different stories: one site grew 25% in a year while another lost 99% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains
Visits are lower than a year ago, but the fall looks like it has stopped: October 2026 was up on September 2026. Google Trends interest in the term fell (-70%), but name searches did not, so some interest has cooled.
2.Are people searching for AI avatar generator sites by name?
About level with October 2025 (-1%); 31M name searches a month in the US
About as many as before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI avatar generator sites 31,108,930 times in September 2026, about the same as in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai avatar generator” itself gets about 2,900 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Name searches are level, so the regular users are still there.
3.Which AI avatar generator sites grew, and which shrank?
The five most-visited sites hold 99.2% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 100%
The five most-visited AI avatar generator sites get 99.2% of all visits, so one of them winning or losing a big Google ranking moves the whole total. Fastest grower over the year: Picsart, from 15,093,268 to 18,802,910 visits (+25%). Steepest fall: DeepBrain AI, from 11,611 to 122 visits (-99%).
