📸 Photo Guidelines for Your Custom Big Head

Creating a sharp, high-quality Big Head starts with a great image. The better the photo, the better the final product will look—especially when it's enlarged.

Choosing from Existing Photos? Here's What Works Best:

Use a high-resolution image—ideally 1MB or larger.
Close-up shots are best for head cutouts.
Make sure the photo is bright and well-lit for clear details.

Taking a New Photo? Keep These in Mind:

A modern smartphone is more than good enough—no need for a DSLR.
Fill the frame with your subject, but don’t crop out important parts like ears, hair, hands, or feet.
Use natural or bright lighting to avoid shadows and loss of detail.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Shared or downloaded images (from texts or social media) often lose clarity when enlarged.
Selfies usually use the front camera, which is lower quality than the back camera.
Screenshots are typically low quality and don’t print well.
Blurry photos often become worse when enlarged and can’t always be fixed.
Digital zoom lowers image resolution—get closer to your subject instead.
Photos of printed images may not scale well (e.g. yearbook pictures).
Group shots can be tricky—people may be blocked or too far away.
Inappropriate images will not be accepted. All content must meet our standards.
