Go for Close-Ups: Faces, pets, or couples’ portraits look best when the subject is close to the camera. Avoid zoomed-out or distant shots.

Choose Good Lighting: Pick a photo with even lighting, natural light works great. Avoid heavy shadows, strong backlight, or overly dark photos—and skip any filters!

Match Canvas Size: Choose a larger canvas to capture more fine detail, especially for complex or multi-person images. Please try to use a photo with a similar aspect ratio to the canvas size you selected — this helps reduce cropping.
