Check the person and framing
Choose one adult alone, not a group, child or pet photo. Keep the face unobstructed and both arms visible, including space beside the elbows. Avoid a tight face-only selfie, a hand covering the face or crossed arms hiding important parts of the pose. You do not need to make the heart in the original photo; the tool animates that movement.
Check sharpness before file size
Open the image and inspect the face and hands at a comfortable viewing size. Heavy blur, tiny screenshots, strong beauty filters and repeated messaging-app compression can remove useful details. Start from the original camera photo when available. Increasing a small picture's resolution does not recover detail that was never captured.
Use a supported file within the limits
Choose JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC/HEIF up to 10 MB (10,485,760 bytes), at most 40 megapixels and no more than 12,000 pixels on either edge. The browser reduces the longest edge to at most 2,048 pixels and converts the photo to JPEG before uploading. Very large camera files may need exporting at a smaller size first. Transparent areas are filled with white.
Preview what will actually be used
Check the local preview for the correct orientation, framing and background before proceeding. If the photo is rotated, cropped incorrectly or unreadable, replace it before paying. A successful local preview is a file check, not face recognition or an artistic guarantee. Our sample shows that AI can add accessories and alter details even with a usable input.
