Good Photos
Clear & Well-Lit
Natural daylight, face fully visible
Close-Up Shot
Head and shoulders fill most of the frame
Eyes Visible
Subject looking toward camera, eyes in focus
Simple Background
Less clutter = better AI recognition
What to Avoid
Motion Blur
Moving subjects create fuzzy, unusable images
Too Dark
AI struggles to detect features in low light
Too Far Away
Subject should be the main focus, not the scenery
Too Many Subjects
Upload one main subject per photo for best results
💡Pro Tips for the Best Cartoon Results
