Keep the face easy to read
Use a sharp photo with even lighting. Avoid heavy beauty filters, dark sunglasses, hands over the face and extreme side angles. A recognizable source image does not guarantee a perfect likeness, but unclear inputs leave more for the model to invent.
One subject per image
Group photos make it ambiguous which person should be used. Crop to one consenting adult per reference. For pets, choose a photo where the face, ears and distinctive markings are visible.
Match the framing to the scene
A head-and-shoulders photo supplies facial detail. A full-body image also communicates clothing and proportions for wide shots. Avoid very small faces in a large landscape photograph.
Think about the pair
Different outfits can make it easier to tell the performers apart. Place the intended opening performer in the left slot. You can remove and replace either photo before leaving this local preview.
Check permission before anything else
A publicly visible photo is not automatically yours to use. Get the subject’s permission and the necessary image rights. Our generator does not allow minors, public figures or unauthorized likenesses.
