The generator can only follow details that are visible in the source photo. A sharp, front-facing image with even light gives the model a much better starting point than a cropped screenshot or a tiny profile picture.

Solo

Upload one person with the face visible. A standing or three-quarter photo is useful because the dance includes arms, torso, and legs. Keep the camera around eye height and avoid a heavy beauty filter.

Duo

Outdoor duo starts with one group photo containing both people. Keep both faces and most of both bodies visible. If you use the two-photo option, upload one person per file and keep the framing and light similar.

Outfit change

Upload three photos of the same person in three different outfits. Keep the face, body, camera distance, and lighting consistent. The clothes should change; the person should not.

Avoid these source problems

  • Sunglasses, hair, or hands covering the eyes.
  • Faces that are very small in a crowded scene.
  • Blurry motion frames or screenshots of screenshots.
  • Strong filters that reshape the jaw or skin tone.
  • Three outfit photos with different people or radically different framing.
