What resolution should my pet photo be?

We recommend at least 500x500 pixels for best results. Higher resolution photos (1000x1000 or more) will produce even better videos. Most modern smartphone cameras easily exceed this requirement.

Can I use a photo where my pet is moving?

It's best to use a still photo where your pet is stationary. Motion blur from movement can reduce the quality of the lip-sync effect. Wait for a calm moment to snap the perfect shot.

Does the background matter?

The background doesn't significantly affect the result, but a simple, uncluttered background can help the AI focus on your pet's face. Avoid busy patterns directly behind your pet.

Can I edit or filter my photo before uploading?

Light editing is fine, but avoid heavy filters that distort colors or facial features. Cropping to focus on your pet's face is helpful. Don't use beauty filters or face-altering effects.

What if my pet won't stay still for a photo?

Try taking photos during rest time when your pet is calm. Use treats or toys to get their attention. Take multiple shots in burst mode and choose the best one. Patience is key!

Photo Requirements Checklist

Face Clearly Visible

Your pet's face, especially the mouth area, should be unobstructed

Sharp Focus

The image should be in focus, not blurry or pixelated

Good Lighting

Natural light or well-lit environments work best

Front-Facing Angle

A front or slight angle view works better than profiles

Good vs Bad Photos

Good Photos

Clear, front-facing shot with good lighting
Pet looking at camera with mouth visible
High resolution (at least 500x500 pixels)
Natural expression, relaxed pet
Single pet in frame

Blurry or out-of-focus images
Profile shots where mouth isn't visible
Too dark or overexposed photos
Multiple pets in one photo
Pet wearing accessories covering face

Lighting Tips

Use Natural Light

Position your pet near a window during daytime for soft, even lighting

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Harsh shadows can obscure facial features - diffused light is better

Face the Light Source

Make sure the light illuminates your pet's face, not behind them

Avoid Flash

Camera flash can create red-eye and harsh shadows

Angle & Framing Tips

Get Eye Level

Crouch down to your pet's level for the most natural angle

Front or 3/4 View

Slight angles work well, but avoid full profile shots

Fill the Frame

Get close enough that your pet's face fills most of the image

Leave Some Space

Don't crop too tight - leave room around the face
