How to choose a photo for an AI greeting card
The prettiest photo is not always the best source; facial structure and the needed pose must be readable.

Light and sharpness
Eyes and face outline should remain visible; avoid heavy backlight and motion blur.
Angle
Front-facing or a slight turn is easiest for likeness; add a waist-up image for dynamic scenes.
Filters and retouching
Send at least one original because beauty filters alter eyes, skin, and face shape.
Extra references
Two or three images help with profile, hair, and smile; dozens of near duplicates do not.
Rights and privacy
Use photos you have the right to use and do not publish someone else’s source without permission.
