Keep each face visible
Choose a sharp, well-lit image where eyes, nose and mouth are unobstructed. A front-facing or gently angled portrait gives more visible facial detail than a distant full-body photo. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses, face coverings and severe blur.
Two separate photos
Each image should contain one adult. Use Photo 1 for the person who stays human and Photo 2 for the zombie partner. The photos do not need the same background or to have been taken together. Keep their upload order consistent with the roles you want.
One photo of both people
Choose a photo with exactly two adults and both faces clearly visible. The default is left human, right zombie. Use Who stays human? below the image to reverse that choice. Left and right mean the image currently shown on screen, after orientation correction, not the person’s own left or their position in the movie. Changing the roles does not mirror, crop or reupload your image.
What to avoid
- Extra people or a face partially hidden behind another person.
- Collages, screenshots with interface text, very small faces or extreme crops.
- Photos of minors, unauthorized people or images you cannot lawfully alter.
Checks and results are different
Photo checks can reject an unreadable or unsuitable image before a paid generation starts. Passing a check does not guarantee an exact likeness or perfect motion. If a photo fails, review the stated photo and reason before trying again.
If a finished face is wrong
An incorrect role at the start is different from a face drifting during movement. Check your original photo order or the shared-photo role setting first. For motion drift, try clearer, unobstructed faces and simpler source photos. A completed result that differs from your expectations is not automatically a technical failure; a new generation is a new charged task. Contact support about a suspected processing problem before paying to repeat it. These suggestions are guidance, not a controlled likeness study.
Removing a local photo clears it from your draft. Uploaded assets and completed videos have separate access periods, explained in our Privacy Policy.
