Make it look good small
- Head and shoulders, your face filling about half the circle, a little room above your hair.
- Your face a little above the middle: most apps cut from the centre.
- Start from the original photo, not a screenshot or a copy sent in a chat.
- Soft light on your face: a window in front of you does more than any filter.
Every size we checked: the full table.
