Best Practices
Photo Input Guidelines
- Face Visibility: Ensure the face is clearly visible, well-lit, and not obscured
- Resolution: Use source photos of at least 512x512 pixels for best results
- Angle: Front-facing or slight angle (3/4 view) works best
- Lighting: Avoid harsh shadows or extreme backlighting in source
- Expression: Neutral or natural expression in source produces best transformations
Professional Headshot Standards
- Framing: Head and shoulders, with face occupying 60-70% of vertical space
- Eye Contact: Subject should appear to look at the viewer
- Background: Clean, non-distracting, complements the subject
- Lighting: Soft, flattering light that minimizes harsh shadows
- Attire: Appropriate for the industry and role
