Tips for the best results
Start from a front-facing, well-lit selfie — the AI needs to see your face clearly and evenly lit to build a natural, professional portrait.
Use a neutral expression or a light smile — a calm, approachable expression reads as more professional than an extreme pose or grin.
Keep the background simple in your upload — a plain wall or uncluttered scene keeps the focus on your face and helps the AI place a clean backdrop.
Avoid hats, heavy filters, or sunglasses — obscured or heavily edited faces make it harder to keep your likeness sharp and true.
Use the highest-resolution photo you have — low-res or heavily compressed images limit how crisp the final headshot can be.
