Tips for a stronger result
Leave room for portrait framing. For a 9:16 image, keep some space around the subject in your original photo.
Choose a sharp source. Start with the largest, clearest version so more fine detail survives.
Trim distractions first. Crop busy edges before uploading to keep attention on your subject.
Set boundaries. If stray lettering or branding appears, add a brief instruction asking the model to leave it out.
