Upload guide: what photo works best

Pick a clear leaning-in side close-up, mouth open and tongue out, face large in the centre of the frame.

• 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: This template is framed as a close view from the side, leaning in from the centre of the frame. Pick a photo that matches that leaning-in side close-up.
• Eyes and gaze: Look toward the camera with your eyes open and your face unobstructed.
• Just you: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth open with your tongue out, and nothing covering 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: front-facing portraits only, mouths closed or covered, distant photos, dark or blurry photos.
