Tips for the best result

A clear front-facing or bust-up photo helps the eyes and hair read well once they're pixelated
A simple background keeps the sprite's silhouette crisp instead of getting lost in detail
Bright, low-shadow photos hold up better with the limited palette so facial features don't muddy together

Frequently asked

Will it still look like me?
