Upload guide: what photo works best

For the best result, use a close front-facing photo with your face large in the frame, eyes lowered and lips parted.

• Pose and framing: Take the photo close in and from slightly above, the way this template frames its first-person view, with your face large in the centre of the frame.
• One person only: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Eyes: Keep your eyes lowered, lashes down, with no sunglasses and no hair across your eyes.
• Mouth: Keep your lips parted and uncovered, with nothing in front of your mouth.
• 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: distant full-body shots, eyes wide open at the camera, mouths covered, dark or blurry photos.
