Upload guide: what photo works best

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

• Pose and 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.
• One person only: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Eyes: Look toward the camera with your eyes open and your face unobstructed.
• 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.
• Light and sharpness: 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.
• Avoid: front-facing portraits only, mouths closed or covered, distant photos, dark or blurry photos.
