A recent, well-lit, front-facing photo works best. Selfies are fine as long as your whole face is in the frame.

What makes a photo-based caricature look like you
A good caricature isn't a filter. It picks the two or three features people notice first, such as a wide grin, strong eyebrows or a big head of hair, and pushes them further while keeping everything else in proportion. That's why friends recognize a caricature instantly even though nothing about it is realistic.
Our caricature maker is tuned to keep that balance: enough exaggeration to be funny, not so much that the face stops looking like the person in the photo.
Photo checklist for the best result
- Lighting: Face a window or soft daylight. Harsh shadows hide the features the AI needs.
- Angle: Look straight at the camera. Strong side angles make the result less recognizable.
- Nothing covering your face: Remove sunglasses and masks, and avoid hair covering your eyes.
- Resolution: Use the original photo rather than a screenshot or a compressed image from a chat app.
- Expression: A natural smile usually gives the most fun caricature.
What people do with their caricatures
Most people start out of curiosity, just to see what they'd look like, and then end up using the result as a profile picture, putting it on a birthday card or printing it on a mug as a gift. Because it's a normal image file, you can use it anywhere you'd use a photo.
