What this tool does
This tool helps you improve a casual selfie fast: what to retake, how to pose, and how to fix lighting and framing without over-editing.
Eyes sharp and in focus (not the nose/ears).
Camera slightly above eye level to avoid under-chin emphasis.
Window light from ~45°; avoid ceiling light casting raccoon shadows.
Background simplified (no laundry, messy shelves, bright signs).
Expression reads relaxed (no forced smile, no dead eyes).
Crop leaves a little headroom; avoid cutting off chin.
Color looks natural (no orange skin or gray-green cast).
Phone lens is clean; no haze from fingerprints.
How to use (get better results)
Follow these steps to increase feedback accuracy.
Upload 1 clear selfie (avoid collages).
Also try one “baseline” shot and one “improved” retake.
If possible, take a new photo by a window facing the light.
Try 2 angles: slightly above eye level, and slight 3/4 turn.
Compare persona outputs: one strict, one coaching.
Fix the top 1–2 issues and retake immediately.
Save the best crop for tiny-avatar readability.
