Upload guide: what photo works best

Start with a close kneeling photo, looking up at the camera.

• Mouth: Keep your mouth uncovered, with nothing in front of your lips.
• Eyes and gaze: Look up at the camera with your eyes open, no sunglasses and no hair across your eyes.
• Framing: Use a first-person view from a seated person looking down past a desk, kneeling in front, the way this template frames its office view.
• Just you: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Outfit: Clothes follow the template scene, not your photo. Do not expect the outfit in your photo to carry over into the result.
• Light and quality: Use a recent, high-resolution photo with bright, even light on your face and sharp focus. Do not upload a screenshot with black bars or app buttons, a photo of a screen, or a heavily filtered photo that changes your face shape.
• Do not use: standing photos, distant full-body shots, mouths covered, dark or blurry photos.
