Best photo for the Gangnam Style AI video

Which photo makes the best Gangnam Style AI video: your face toward the camera, head to toe if you can, what to avoid.

Star in Gangnam Style with one photo

Make yours

The short version

  • One face, looking at the camera, in good light, with nothing covering it.
  • A head-to-toe photo is even better: you dance head to toe the whole time, in your own clothes.

Your photo

A smiling man in a selfie, his whole face clear and lit from the front
WorksFace to the camera, good light
A man in a green t-shirt standing against a white wall, in frame from head to feet
WorksHead to toe: your outfit does the dance too
A person whose eyes are hidden behind dark sunglasses
AvoidSunglasses: hidden eyes won’t look like you
A group of friends together in one photo
AvoidA group: crop to just you

The clearer the photo, the more the video looks like you. Crop a group shot down to one person before you upload it, and keep sunglasses, hands and hair off your eyes.

What happens to your photo

Your photo is used only to make your video and stays private to your account. Photos are deleted automatically 7 days after upload, and you can delete them sooner from My videos. Only use photos you have the right to use: no celebrities and nobody under 18.

Questions

Will it still look like me?

Yes. It’s the same face, hair, clothes and build from the first frame to the last bounce. A clear, head-to-toe photo in good light works best.

Do I need a video of myself?

No. One still photo is enough. The moves, the timing and the camera come from the trend.

What if the video fails?

You don’t pay for it: what it used goes back to your balance automatically, and you can try again with another photo.
