What photo works for a Banana Tree Run AI video?
Updated:
Short answer
Use one sharp, well-lit photo of a single adult or pet with the face clearly visible. A full-body photo works best, because the runner is shown head to toe from the side. Avoid group photos, sunglasses, heavy filters and photos of children. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB.

Photos that work
- One subject: a single adult, pet, toy or drawing.
- Face visible: looking roughly at the camera, not covered.
- Full body if you can: the run shows you head to toe, so your clothes and shoes come from the photo.
- Good light: daylight or a bright room, no heavy filters.
Photos to avoid
- Babies, children or anyone under 18.
- Group photos, or photos where the face is tiny.
- Celebrities, famous characters or screenshots of someone else’s clip.
- Sunglasses, masks or strong beauty filters.
Questions people ask
Can I use a selfie?
Yes, if the face is sharp. The model invents the rest of the body, so clothes may change more than with a full-body photo.
Do I need sports clothes?
No. You run in the clothes from your photo. The viral clip uses jeans and a jersey.
What size should the photo be?
Between 300 and 6000 pixels on each side, up to 10 MB.
