What photo works for an ABCDEFG I Need Money AI video?

Updated:

Short answer

Use one clear photo of the singer: you, an adult friend or a pet, with the face visible and facing the camera. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB, between 300 and 6000 pixels on each side. Photos of children are rejected, and blurry, masked or group photos give the weakest results.

Example frame: a sharp, front-facing face filling much of the picture, the kind of photo that keeps expressions clear

Technical limits

  • File type: JPG, PNG or WebP.
  • File size: up to 10 MB.
  • Dimensions: more than 300 and fewer than 6000 pixels on each side.
  • Shape: a width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5, so no extreme panoramas or strips.
  • Only one photo is needed, and it must show one subject.

Photos that look best

  • Even light and a sharp face, because the whole joke is in the expressions.
  • Head and shoulders or upper body, with the eyes and mouth visible.
  • A closed or neutral mouth, so the model can animate the letters cleanly.
  • For pets, a close, front-facing shot at eye level.
  • For toys and drawings, a clear shot of the face and body.

Photos to avoid

  • Babies, children or anyone under 18.
  • Group shots, because the model may pick the wrong face.
  • Sunglasses, masks, hands over the mouth or heavy beauty filters.
  • Frames from someone else’s clip, celebrities and famous copyrighted characters.

Rules about people

Upload only photos of yourself, of adults who agreed, or of pets, toys and drawings you own. Celebrities, minors and adult content are not allowed. Read Photo Consent and Acceptable Use first. Photos are deleted automatically 14 days after upload.

Questions people ask

Can I use a selfie?

Yes. A sharp, well-lit selfie suits this trend well, because the video is a close selfie-style shot. Keep the whole face visible and not cropped at the edges.

What happens if my photo is rejected?

A message under the upload box names the problem, such as size, format, shape or a person who may be under 18. Fix it and upload again. Nothing is charged for a rejected photo.

Does the photo need a gaming chair or a living room?

No. The room and the chair are generated. A plain photo of the face gives the cleanest result.
