Avoid the Front Camera
The 'selfie' (front) camera on most phones is of lower quality than the rear camera and often has a 'fisheye' distortion that can make your nose look larger and your face wider. Always have someone else take the photo using the rear lens, or use a tripod with a timer.
Distance and Zoom
Stand about 4 to 6 feet away from the camera. If the camera is too close (under 3 feet), it creates 'perspective distortion'. Use a slight zoom (1.5x or 2x) to frame the head and shoulders while maintaining the 4-6 foot distance.
Resolution and Format
Turn off 'Portrait Mode' or 'Background Blur'—these can mess with the edges of your hair and cause AI extraction errors. Take the photo in standard 'Photo' mode at the highest resolution possible. Our tool will handle the background removal and cropping perfectly.
