For the best results on your world cup card, use a clear, front-facing portrait photo with good lighting and your face fully visible. A plain or simple background works best, as it helps the AI isolate your face and place it accurately in the card design. Avoid sunglasses, heavy shadows, or photos where your face is partially obscured. A recent smartphone selfie in natural light is usually sufficient. The clearer and more detailed your reference photo, the more accurate and recognizable the result will be.

You can also add your team's name directly in the text elements of the prompt, such as "'Let's Go USA!' at the bottom" or "'Allez les Bleus' banner".
