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.
