The Best Photo to Use With Paparazzi AI

The app rebuilds the scene around the person in your photo, so the photo's clarity sets the ceiling on how good and how recognizable the result is.

Clear, unobstructed face

Front-facing or slightly angled, well lit, nothing covering it. This is the single biggest factor in the result looking like you.

Some of the body in frame

A half or full-body photo gives the scene more to work with — pose, outfit, stance — than a tight head crop.

Even light, no heavy filter

A softly lit, unedited photo is a better starting point than a dark or heavily processed one.

FAQ

Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only with their permission. Don't make or post an edited image of another person without their consent.
