Best Photos for the AI Zombie Trend: What to Upload

• One person or one pet per photo. Crop a group photo into single faces.
• Front-facing, chest up or closer. Not a profile, not a full-length shot from across the room.
• Daylight or even indoor light. No harsh shadow across half the face, no flash on a pet.
• Eyes open and uncovered: no sunglasses, caps pulled low or hair over the eyes.
• No beauty filter, cartoon avatar or heavy edit.
• Recent, so the film looks like the person today.
• A pet photo at its eye level, with the whole head and some of the body.
• Photos of people who agreed, and your own pet or one whose owner agreed.

Uploaded photos are deleted 7 days after the render finishes; the film stays in My videos until you delete it.

Every test film on this site was made from photos drawn by an image model, so no real person is in them: a woman with auburn hair, a man with short dark hair, a golden retriever, a woman in her sixties, a woman with long braids and a grey tabby cat. All six are plain, front-facing, daylight portraits on a light wall, the kind of photo this checklist asks for. The people kept their faces and hair in every render; the dog kept its colour and markings; the cat kept its stripes but not the zombie eyes.

A render that fails, or a film our content check holds back, gives its credits back automatically. A finished film that looks wrong is not refunded automatically, so the photo is worth a second look before you press the button. The zombie trend video doesn’t look like you guide goes through the fixes.
