Why Photo Quality Matters
AI outfit generators analyze your photo to understand body shape, position, and current clothing before generating new outfit variations. Better input photos lead to more realistic and accurate results. A few simple adjustments can dramatically improve your AI-generated outfits.
1. Lighting: The Most Important Factor
Good lighting is the single most important factor for AI photo processing.
Do:
- Use natural daylight from a window
- Face the light source (window in front of you)
- Shoot during daytime for best results
- Use soft, diffused light
Avoid:
- Harsh direct sunlight (creates strong shadows)
- Backlighting (light behind you)
- Overhead fluorescent lights
- Mixed lighting (natural + artificial)
2. Background Selection
A clean background helps the AI focus on you rather than surroundings.
Best Backgrounds:
- Plain white or light-colored walls
- Solid-color doors
- Simple neutral backgrounds
- Clean, uncluttered spaces
Backgrounds to Avoid:
- Busy patterns or wallpaper
- Cluttered rooms
- Outdoor scenes with many elements
- Mirrors or reflective surfaces
3. Framing and Composition
How you frame the shot affects AI recognition accuracy.
- Full body: Include head to toe in the frame
- Center yourself: Position in the middle of the frame
- Leave space: Don't crop too tight
- Vertical orientation: Portrait mode works best
4. Posing Tips
Your pose affects how well the AI can process the image.
Best Poses:
- Stand straight, facing the camera
- Arms slightly away from body (not hidden)
- Feet shoulder-width apart
- Natural, relaxed stance
Poses to Avoid:
- Profile or side angles
- Arms crossed or hidden
- Sitting or lying down
- Dynamic action poses
5. Camera Settings
Optimize your iPhone camera for best results:
- Resolution: Use highest available
- Focus: Tap to focus on your face/body
- HDR: Enable for balanced exposure
- Timer: Use self-timer to avoid blur
- Stability: Use a tripod or prop phone
Common Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | Why It's a Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blurry photo | AI can't detect edges | Use timer, stabilize phone |
| Dark/underexposed | Details are lost | Move to better light |
| Cut off body parts | Incomplete generation | Step back, show full body |
| Busy background | Confuses AI detection | Use plain wall |
