Background questions

Does it work with curly or flyaway hair?

Yes. The cut-out keeps fine strands instead of trimming them into a helmet shape. Plain walls behind you in the original help most.

Can I use my own background image?

Yes, with a Starter or Pro pack. Upload a brand color, office photo or event backdrop.

What file do I get?

A JPG with the new background, plus a transparent PNG if you want to place yourself on something else.

Does the photo have to be a headshot?

Any photo of one person from the waist up works, including phone selfies.
