Upload guide: what photo works best

Pick a close-up front-facing photo, looking directly at the camera.

• Light and quality: 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.
• Framing: Use a close-up front view, looking directly at the camera, the way this template frames its close-up opening.
• Eyes and gaze: Look directly at the camera with your eyes open, no sunglasses and no hair across your eyes.
• Just you: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth visible and uncovered, so you can speak to the camera.
• Outfit: Clothes follow the template scene, not your photo. Do not expect the outfit in your photo to carry over into the result.
• Do not use: rear views, distant full-body shots, mouths covered, faces small in the frame, dark or blurry photos.
