Best Practices

​
Photo Quality Tips

✅ Do This:
• Use high-resolution photos (512x512 pixels minimum)
• Ensure even lighting on the face
• Front-facing photos work best
• Keep facial features clearly visible
• Use neutral expressions for best results
❌ Avoid This:
• Blurry or out-of-focus images
• Heavy shadows or backlit photos
• Extreme angles or profile shots
• Multiple faces in one image
• Low-resolution images (<256x256 pixels)

​
Lighting Guidelines

  • Front lighting - Light source facing the subject
  • Soft light - Avoid harsh shadows
  • Even illumination - Balanced lighting across the face
  • Natural light - Window light or outdoor shade works well

​
Composition Tips

  • Center the face - Main facial features should be centered
  • Leave margin - Some space around the head for transformations
  • Straight orientation - Avoid tilted images
  • Single subject - One clear face per image

​
