Upload guide: what photo works best

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

• Mouth: Keep your mouth open with your tongue out, and nothing covering your lips.
• Eyes and gaze: Look toward the camera with your eyes open and your face unobstructed.
• 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.
• 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: front-facing portraits only, mouths closed or covered, distant photos, dark or blurry photos.
