## What is PaperChibi Lite?

PaperChibi Lite lets you design and print 3D Avatar papercraft for free! 

The Lite version lets you print the shorter boxy avatars in screenshot #3 and #4 (the bottom row). If you love PaperChibi Lite please buy the full version: print the taller avatars (top row in screenshot #4), T-Rex and cars (screenshot #5).

PaperChibi is an amazing new iOS application for personalized avatar paper crafts. Check out our video to see how it works: http://paperchibi.com/video Make cute chibi avatars; change their clothes, hairstyle, eyes, and lots more. Then print and make real 3D papercraft avatars. Create chibi friends and family. Make a t-rex or a car for your chibi to ride in (requires full version).

To assemble: use an adhesive dot roller, scrapbooking glue dots, a glue stick, or small strips of double sided tape. 

Works best with photo paper or card stock. Use AirPrint to send finished chibi directly to your printer; set your printer to use 8.5"x11" or A4 paper. Email a PDF or save one to iBooks or similar apps. 

Chibi avatars are completely customizable! There are several print options that vary in poses and difficulty. The simplest chibi is very kid friendly. Incredibly fun for school art classes. Teachers, consider adding them to storytelling projects! 

Take a photo of the chibi avatars you've made and share them on Instagram or Twitter with hash tag #paperchibi.

I love paper Chibi, it’s so cool and nice. But I unfortunately I can’t get the upgraded version in my region, please add it to Australian app stores please thanks

### 5/5 — It’s really fun but I need the full version in Canada

*2021-09-02*

I love this game it’s so fun to make and craft the characters but the full version isn’t available in Canada. Please make it available:)

### 1/5 — ??

*2020-12-07, version 1.0.12*

I’m not really sure what the point of this app is. All you can do is design a character. You can’t do anything else with it, and the full version isn’t available where I am. I used an older version of this and you could pose the figures and take photos and such. What happened with that? I would not recommend this app at all, unless some major changes are made.

### 1/5 — Can you create buddypoke 3D avatar creator?

*2020-10-20, version 1.0.12*

I really need that app, I used it before and I haven’t had it in a long time😭

### 3/5 — Good, But The Full Version Needs To Come Back

*2020-07-24, version 1.0.12*

I Want To Build A Pretty Cool Thing But It Forces Me To Play For A Thing!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! I Am A Builder And I Don’t Have Money. Why You Delete The Other App!? It Is A Fortune! Why!? I Love The Other Version Better! It Got Deleted! You Monster! RECOVER THE ENTIRE APP NOW OR I AM GOING TO COPY ALL OF YOUR IDEAS! The Full Version Is A Dream Of The Future! You Monster! I Am Blocking Your YT Channel! You Are The Worst Guys! GET EMM!

### 3/5 — It’s all right, I guess

*2020-05-18, version 1.0.12*

I mean you can only choose one sculpture. I guess the cool thing about it is that you get to customize The eyes, eye color, hair and a hair color, and almost anything. I’ll give it three out of five since you also can’t get the  Full version.
