Give your photo a quick check.
Check resolution, shape and approximate brightness locally in your browser, then use a practical face-visibility checklist before creating a portrait.
JPG, PNG or WebP · up to 20 MB. Your image stays in this browser.
What does the checker actually measure?
It reads pixel dimensions, aspect ratio and average brightness. Brightness is a rough whole-image measure: a dark background can lower it even when your face is well lit. These checks do not predict generation quality.
Face visibility, head size, blur and identity are not automatically certified. Check both eyes, hairline, glasses, expression and the sharpness of facial detail yourself. The tool does not upload photos or run an AI face-analysis service.
- Both eyes and the main facial features are visible.
- The photo is recent and has no strong beauty filter.
- There is room around the head and shoulders.
- You have permission to use everyone pictured.
How to use it
- Choose a photo. It stays in this browser; nothing is uploaded to our server.

- Review the face checklist, then create your headshot from the photo that passes.
Questions, answered
Is my photo uploaded when I check it?
No. The check runs in your browser and the photo is not sent to Black Mango Studio.
How large should a headshot source photo be?
Aim for at least 600 pixels on the short side. A larger original keeps more facial detail.
What if my photo is dark or very bright?
Retake it facing a window in soft daylight if you can. You can still try it; every portrait includes one revision.
Your photo, made into a moment.
