Upload guide: what photo works best

Pick a seated front-facing photo, leaning to one side and looking up 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 seated view, leaning to one side and looking up at the camera, the way this template frames its seated scene.
• Eyes and gaze: Look up 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 uncovered, with nothing in front of your lips.
• 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: standing photos, back views, mouths covered, dark or blurry photos.
