How to Choose Your Best Photo for AI Generation
The quality of an AI-generated couple photo depends heavily on the two source photos used — a few simple checks make a big difference in the result.
Choose a clear, front-facing photo
A photo where the face is clearly visible, not turned away or partially obscured, gives the AI model the clearest reference to work from.
Good, even lighting beats a flattering filter
A plain, well-lit photo works better as a reference than a heavily filtered or unevenly lit one, even if the filtered version looks nicer on its own.
Recent photos give more accurate results
Since the AI generates based on how someone currently looks in the reference photo, a recent photo produces a more accurate, recognizable result than an old one.
Simple backgrounds aren't necessary, but help
Unlike the final generated scene, the source photo's background doesn't need to be curated — the model focuses primarily on the face and general appearance.
Can a low-resolution or old photo still be used?
It can, but results are usually more accurate and detailed with a clear, reasonably recent, well-lit photo than with a blurry or very old one.
