Upload guide: what photo works best

The photo that works best is a close front-facing photo with your face above your chest, looking at the camera.

• One person only: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Pose and framing: Use a first-person view looking down, facing the camera, with your face above your chest in the frame, the way this template frames its close view.
• Eyes: Look at the camera with your eyes open, no sunglasses and no hair across your eyes.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth area uncovered in the photo.
• Light and sharpness: Pick a sharp, recent, high-resolution image with even, bright light on your face. Avoid dark rooms, motion blur, screenshots with bars and buttons, pictures of a screen, and filters that change the shape of your face.
• Outfit: Clothes follow the template scene, not your photo. Do not expect the outfit in your photo to carry over into the result.
• Avoid: rear views, distant full-body shots, faces small in the frame, dark or blurry photos.
