Upload guide: what photo works best

Pick a close side-profile photo with your face large in the frame, eyes closed and gaze lowered.

• 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 side view, close in, with your face large in the frame — the way this template frames its side view.
• Eyes and gaze: Keep your eyes closed with your gaze lowered, and no hair falling across your face.
• 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: straight-on portraits, distant full-body shots, eyes wide open at the camera, mouths covered, dark or blurry photos.
