Character Photo Requirements

Guidelines for uploading high-quality character photos to LlamaGen.Ai

Character Photo Requirements

To create the best AI-generated characters, it's important to upload high-quality reference photos that meet our recommended guidelines.

Photo Requirements

For best results, your character photos should meet the following requirements:

Subject Guidelines

  • Single person only - No multiple subjects in the photo
  • Clear and unobstructed main subject - The character should be clearly visible
  • Front-facing angle preferred - Face should be visible and facing the camera
  • Full body or upper body shots work best - Both types are supported

Background & Environment

  • Simple background - Solid colors are ideal
  • No accessories, toys, bags, or other distracting objects - Keep the focus on the character
  • Avoid cluttered or busy backgrounds - Simple is better

Lighting & Quality

  • Soft, natural lighting without harsh shadows - Even lighting across the subject
  • High-quality image - No blur or noise
  • Good resolution - Clear, sharp images work best

Pro Tip: Take photos in natural daylight near a window, or use soft indoor lighting. Avoid direct flash or harsh overhead lights.

❌ Avoid These Types of Photos

Why these photos don't work:

  • Multiple people in the frame
  • Face-covering accessories or masks
  • Heavy filters or effects
  • Cluttered or distracting backgrounds
  • Poor lighting or image quality
  • Obstructed subjects

Photos that don't meet these guidelines may result in less accurate character generation or unexpected results.

Tips for Best Results

  1. Use recent photos - More recent photos tend to work better
  2. Multiple angles - If possible, upload 3-5 photos from different angles
  3. Consistent lighting - Try to use photos taken in similar lighting conditions
  4. Remove accessories - Take off hats, sunglasses, and bulky accessories
  5. Natural expression - Neutral or natural expressions work best
