What photo works for an Unforgettable car AI video?

Updated:

Short answer

Use one clear photo of yourself, waist up or closer, with the face visible and turned toward the camera. Accepted files are JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB, between 300 and 6000 pixels per side. Blurry, masked or group photos do worst, and so do photos that already show a car.

Example frame: a woman with dark wavy hair and glasses looking back at a red sports car parked on an empty cracked lot at sunset

Technical limits

  • Accepted formats: JPG, PNG or WebP.
  • File size: up to 10 MB.
  • Dimensions: more than 300 and fewer than 6000 pixels on each side.
  • Shape: a width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5, so no extreme panoramas or strips.
  • One photo is enough, and it must show a single subject.

What looks best

  • Soft, even light and a crisp face.
  • Waist up or closer, so your hands and shoulders have room to move.
  • A plain background with no car and no cards in it.
  • Eyes and mouth visible, so your reaction at the end reads well.

What to avoid

  • Group shots, since the model might lock onto the wrong face.
  • Sunglasses, masks, hands over the face or heavy beauty filters.
  • Mirror selfies, and a phone or cards in your hand.
  • Frames from the original clip, celebrities and well-known copyrighted characters.

Rules about people

Only upload photos of yourself, of adults who agreed, or of pets, toys and drawings that belong to you. Celebrities, minors and adult content are not allowed, so read Photo Consent and Acceptable Use first. Photos are deleted automatically 14 days after upload.

Questions people ask

Is a selfie fine?

Yes, when it is sharp and well lit and the whole face is in the frame without cropping.

May my dog or cat take my place?

It can work: the scene lets a pet stand upright and hold the cards, and the generator has a “My pet” option. Results vary, so check the preview before you spend credits.

What if the photo is rejected?

A message under the upload box names the problem, such as size, format or shape. Fix it and upload again; a rejected photo costs nothing.
