Best Photo for Burning Bridges AI: A Simple Checklist

The quickest way to choose

If you have several photos, pick the one where one adult faces the camera, their full face is visible, and their head and upper body are in focus. Even daylight or room light helps the generator read their features. Include their hair and clothing if you want those details reflected in the new scene. These are quality tips, not a promise of an exact likeness.

You can compare three example portraits with the videos they produced before uploading your own photo. The example people are synthetic.

Check these before uploading

• One person: avoid group shots and backgrounds with other prominent faces. The product has one lead character and does not add your friends to the party.
• Visible face: look toward the camera; remove sunglasses and avoid hands, hair, or objects covering the face. A strong side profile gives less facial detail.
• Sharp, balanced image: avoid motion blur, very dark lighting, glare, and heavy beauty filters. Check the image at full size, not just its thumbnail.
• Useful framing: include the head, shoulders, and ideally upper body. A tiny face in a wide scene gives the model little to work from.
• Valid file: upload exactly one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 5 MB. Crop or export a smaller copy if your file exceeds the limit.

Which photo should I avoid?

If the face is partly hidden, the image is soft or heavily filtered, or two people are equally prominent, choose a different photo. A party outfit can help describe clothing, but it is not required: the generator uses a fixed party scene. It may still change facial features, hair, or clothes in the finished video. There is no guarantee that a “perfect” input makes an exact portrait.
