AI portrait with the whole face, hair and shoulders visible
A useful starting photoThe face is clear. Hair, chin and shoulders have space.
The same portrait cropped too tightly around the face
Too closeA tight crop removes useful detail. Start from the original.

The same AI portrait, shown with different crops. These are input examples, not a comparison of generated results.

Can you see the face clearly?

Check the eyes and mouth before uploading. Use your original photo instead of a small chat thumbnail.

A larger file does not fix blur. Choose another photo if the face is hidden, dark or out of focus.

Portrait displayed large enough to inspect the eyes and mouth
Easy to inspect
The same portrait displayed as a small thumbnail with little visible facial detail
Too small to judge
