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

Bad Photos

  • 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
