Best Image Types for Strong Kirkify Results

Learn which portrait types produce cleaner kirkify outputs and which image conditions cause weak or distorted results.

Use Single-Subject Portraits

Single-subject photos are easier to process and produce cleaner parody transformations. Group photos create ambiguity around facial focus.

Keep one dominant face in the frame, and avoid extreme occlusion from hats, masks, or hands.

Prefer Mid-to-High Resolution Inputs

Low-resolution screenshots often contain compression artifacts that reduce quality after transformation.

As a baseline, use images with at least 1000 pixels on the long edge when possible.

Lighting and Contrast Matter

Flat lighting reduces landmark clarity. Moderate front lighting with distinct face edges generally performs best.

If the source is dark, brighten before upload to preserve details in the final output.
