What kind of picture suits a Window Peeper video?

Updated:

Short answer

Choose one crisp, evenly lit portrait of a single adult or pet with the face large and easy to read. You sit behind glass across the street, so detail matters more than usual. Save as JPG, PNG or WebP under 10 MB, 300 to 6000 pixels per side. Children, crowded shots and filtered faces are refused or fare worst.

Questions people ask

Does a selfie work?

Yes, provided it's sharp. The model draws the table, the food and the hands, so a head-and-shoulders shot keeps your face and clothes closest to the photo.

Does my photo's background matter?

Hardly. Street, window and kitchen are all supplied by the template.

The upload box turned my photo down. Why?

A line under the box says what's wrong: size, format or shape. Correct that and retry. Rejected photos cost nothing.
