How to choose the right photo for an AI meme video

Every viralmeme template keeps the motion, scene and camera of its template video. Your photo decides who appears in it. A good photo is the single biggest factor in a good result.

What works best

• One person. Templates are made for a single subject. Group photos confuse the result.
• Clear face and body. Head and upper body at least; full body is better for dance templates.
• Good, even light. Daylight near a window beats a dark room or a strong backlight.
• Natural pose, facing the camera. You don't need to match the template pose — the motion comes from the template.
• A sharp photo. At least 300 px on each side, ideally much more. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB.

What to avoid

• Sunglasses, masks, hats that hide the face, or hands in front of the face.
• Heavy beauty filters and stylised edits.
• Very small subjects far from the camera.
• Very wide or very tall crops — keep it close to portrait or square.

Only use photos you have the right to use

Upload photos of yourself or a friend who agreed. Do not upload photos of other people without their consent, and never photos of minors that you are not the parent or guardian of.

Quick checklist

1. One subject, clearly visible.
2. Face not covered.
3. Bright and sharp.
4. Portrait or square crop.
