Upload guide: what photo works best

For the best result, use a reclined front-facing photo with your face large in the frame, eyes half shut and mouth open.

• Pose and framing: Use a front view, reclining on a chair in the centre of the frame, one leg stretched out to the side and the other leg raised straight up in the foreground.
• One person only: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Eyes: Look at the camera with your eyes half shut and your face unobstructed.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth open and uncovered.
• Outfit: Wear the outfit you want to see in the result. This template carries over the outfit from your own photo, so choose it deliberately — including a top you like, and also including a jacket or covered shoulders, which will carry over too.
• Light and sharpness: Choose a recent photo in bright, even light, in high resolution, with your face in sharp focus. Skip screenshots with black bars or app buttons, photos of another screen, and heavy filters that reshape your face.
• Avoid: standing full-body shots, back views, mouths covered, faces small in the frame, dark or blurry photos.
