Upload one clear, recent photo

A phone photo is fine. Face the camera, use even light and keep your full head and shoulders in frame.

AI generation starts only when you press the button. The browser-optimized photo is then uploaded for processing — compare the generated face with the original before use.Privacy policy

Common rejection reasons

Ears must be visible

Hair covering the ears is one of the most common COVA rejection reasons. Tuck hair behind both ears before shooting.

Shadows on the background

Furniture or shadows behind you are the top rejection cause. We detect them before you submit.

HEIC from iPhone

Many systems only accept JPEG. iPhone photos are HEIC by default — we convert automatically.

Face too close or too far

Head size must sit in an exact range. We position it precisely, no guessing.
