Which photo should I upload for the iPhone Kupi Dance?

Updated:

Short answer

Send one adult in a sharp, well-lit photo with a visible face, head to toe if possible, since the clip opens close to the lens and then backs away to dance. Skip groups, sunglasses, heavy filters, pets and kids. Accepted formats are JPG, PNG and WebP, at most 10 MB.

Photos that work

  • A single adult: yourself, or someone who gave permission.
  • Full length: standing, facing the lens.
  • An uncovered face: it fills the frame at the start.
  • A plain background: the model locks onto you more easily.

Photos to avoid

  • Animals, toys, drawings: the dancer has to be an adult.
  • Minors of any age.
  • Groups, celebrities, or frames grabbed from someone else's video.
  • Dark glasses, face masks, heavy beautifying filters.

Questions people ask

Is a selfie fine?

Yes, but the model must then invent your body, so a full-body shot suits the dance better.

Does my background count?

Hardly; the room is generated, so any clear picture will do.

How big can the photo be?

Up to 10 MB, with each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
