Upload guide: what photo works best

Best photo in one line: a standing rear-view photo with your head turned back over your shoulder toward the camera.

• Pose and framing: Use a standing rear view, pressed against a wall, both palms flat, back arched, with your head turned back toward the camera.
• Eyes: Turn your head back toward the camera with your eyes half shut, no hair across your face.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth parted and uncovered.
• One person only: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Outfit: Wear the outfit you want to see in the result. This template carries over the outfit from your own photo, so choose it deliberately — including a top you like, and also including a jacket or covered shoulders, which will carry over too.
• Light and sharpness: 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.
• Avoid: front-facing portraits only, distant full-body shots, mouths covered, dark or blurry photos.
