Tips for keeping your face realistic

• Start with a good photo. Sharp, evenly lit, facing the camera, no sunglasses or heavy filters. A close crop helps more than a wide shot.
• Keep the face option on. It tells the app to keep your features, face shape, skin tone and age, and to change only the styling.
• Change one thing at a time. Asking for a new outfit, background and hairstyle at once makes the face drift more.
• Skip "beautiful" and "perfect skin". Those words invite smoothing and reshaping. Natural skin texture looks more like you.
• Start a new chat when it drifts. After several edits in one chat, a fresh upload often works better.

Your photo and your privacy

This page never sees your photo. It only builds text in your browser, and your last settings are remembered in this browser only. When you upload a photo to Gemini, ChatGPT or Midjourney, that app's own privacy policy and settings decide how it is stored and used, so check them before uploading photos of children or other people, and ask people before you edit their photos.

If your phone saves photos as HEIC, convert them to JPG first if an app won't accept them.
