Use any image from your WordPress Media Library as a custom user avatar. Add your own Default Avatar.

WP User Avatar also lets you:
- Upload your own Default Avatar in your WP User Avatar settings.
- Show the user's Gravatar avatar or Default Avatar if the user doesn't have a WP User Avatar image.
- Disable Gravatar avatars and use only local avatars.
