Which photos should you upload for AI headshots?

Pick clear identity references and avoid common input problems before generating your next set of profile pictures.

Use clear, recent identity references

Choose photos that show your current appearance, with visible eyes, hairline and facial features. Use photos of the same person only. A sharp, evenly lit face is more useful than a high-resolution frame where the person is small or hidden in shadow. Avoid sunglasses, strong beauty filters and objects covering the face.

Make additional photos useful

MyAvatarPic accepts one to three reference photos. If adding more than one, choose genuinely useful views: a clear front view and a slight angle, rather than three nearly identical frames. Avoid mixing very different ages, hairstyles or heavily edited appearances unless that difference is intentional.

Crop away unrelated people while leaving the full head and some shoulders. Do not crop so tightly that the hair or chin disappears. The local quality check assesses basic image quality, not a guarantee of facial accuracy.

Check the result, not just the input

Good references help, but generation can still introduce errors. Compare the eyes, nose, mouth, age and distinctive features against your photos. Inspect glasses and accessories too. Reject an inaccurate result and try a clearer reference or a simpler instruction. Do not use a generated portrait as evidence of identity or as an official document photo without checking the relevant requirements.
