Getting the Perfect Selfies for Amazing Swaps
The quality of your Reswap results depends heavily on the selfies you upload during onboarding. Follow these tips to ensure you get the best possible swaps every time.
Face Photo Tips
Your face photos are the most important part of your Reswap profile. Here's how to take great ones:
Lighting Matters Most
•Use natural light - Face a window during the day for soft, even lighting
•Avoid harsh shadows - Direct sunlight creates unflattering shadows
•Skip the flash - Flash creates unnatural lighting that confuses the AI
•Overcast days are perfect - Cloudy skies act like a giant softbox
Camera Position
•Hold at eye level - Not too high, not too low
•Keep 2-3 feet away - Too close causes distortion
•Centered framing - Your face should be in the middle of the frame
•Steady hands - Use both hands or prop your phone for stability
Expression and Angle
•Neutral expression works best - A slight natural smile is fine
•Face directly forward - One photo should be straight-on
•Include slight angles - Add photos at slight left and right turns
•Relax your face - Tension shows in photos
What to Avoid
•Sunglasses or regular glasses (unless you always wear them)
•Hats or anything covering your forehead
•Heavy makeup that changes your features
•Filters that alter your appearance
•Blurry or pixelated images
Body Photo Tips
Full body photos enable more versatile swaps. Here's how to capture them well:
Clothing Choices
•Wear fitted clothes - Loose, baggy clothing hides your shape
•Solid colors work best - Busy patterns can cause issues
•Dress neutrally - Avoid logos or distinctive graphics
•Consider variety - Different outfits give more options
Posture and Pose
•Stand naturally - Arms slightly away from body
•Good posture - Stand straight but relaxed
•Full body in frame - Head to feet should be visible
•Some space around you - Don't crop too tightly
Background and Setting
•Plain backgrounds - A blank wall works perfectly
•Good contrast - Don't wear the same color as the background
•Clean environment - Clutter can distract the AI
•Consistent lighting - Match your face photo conditions
How Many Photos Do You Need?
For best results, we recommend:
•Face photos: At least 3 (front, slight left, slight right)
•Body photos: 2-3 different poses or outfits
More photos generally mean better results, but quality beats quantity. Three perfect photos outperform ten mediocre ones.
Updating Your Photos
As your appearance changes, you might want to update your selfies:
•New hairstyle - Significant changes warrant new photos
•Seasonal changes - Summer tan vs winter pale can affect results
•Weight changes - Update body photos if your shape changes
•Style updates - New photos if your typical look evolves
