Upload guide: what photo works best

Upload a seated front-facing photo, leaning to one side and looking up at the camera.

• Eyes and gaze: Look up at the camera with your eyes open, no sunglasses and no hair across your eyes.
• Framing: Use a seated view, leaning to one side and looking up at the camera, the way this template frames its seated scene.
• Just you: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth uncovered, with nothing in front of your lips.
• Light and quality: 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.
• Do not use: standing photos, back views, mouths covered, dark or blurry photos.
