Upload guide: what photo works best

Pick a standing side-facing photo with your face large in the frame, gaze down toward the person beside you.

• 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 standing view beside a reclining person at the side of the frame, your gaze down toward them, the way this template frames its close-up.
• Eyes and gaze: Keep your gaze down toward the person beside you, with 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 area uncovered in the photo.
• 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, distant full-body shots, dark or blurry photos.
