What are good input images?
The quality of your result depends heavily on the quality of your input photo. Below are examples and tips to get the best results possible.
✅ DOs — What Works Best
- Use well-lit photos (natural light is ideal)
- Ensure the face is fully visible (no sunglasses, hands, or obstructions) and makes up around 1/3 to 1/2 of the image, the more details are visible the better
- Choose high-resolution images with clear, sharp details
- 📸 See examples of good input photos to understand how to set it up
❌ DON’Ts — Common Mistakes

- Don’t use side profiles or extreme angles
- Skip photos with harsh lighting or strong shadows
