Best photo for an AI face score

Use one clear recent photo

Start with a recent image where your face is easy to see. A clean single-photo input gives the preview a better chance to separate face structure, expression, camera setup, and photo quality signals.

Avoid screenshots, heavily compressed social uploads, old photos, and images where filters or edits change the shape of the face.

• Use one person in the frame.
• Pick a recent photo with natural expression.
• Avoid face-warp filters or beautification effects.

Keep the full face readable

The face should be centered, upright, and visible from forehead to chin. Cropping out the jawline, forehead, or one side of the face makes the preview less useful for retake guidance.

• Keep both eyes visible.
• Leave the chin and forehead inside the crop.
• Move hair, hands, and shadows away from key face edges.

Use clean front light

Front light usually gives a more stable read than backlight or overhead shadow. The goal is not a studio setup; it is enough even light for the current frame.

• Face a window or soft lamp.
• Avoid strong light behind your head.
• Retake if one side of the face is mostly hidden in shadow.

Avoid distortion and blur

Very close lenses can distort proportions, and blur removes detail from the image. A stable, eye-level camera with enough distance is usually more useful than a dramatic angle.

• Hold the camera steady.
• Step back enough to avoid a wide-angle close-up.
• Clean the lens if the image looks soft.

What to retake first

If the first preview feels noisy, retake one variable at a time. Change light first, then camera height, then distance and crop, so you can tell which change helped.
