Hair fully on show
Hair is one of the strongest links between you and your caricature, so take off the hat and keep the top of your head in frame. A beard or moustache also carries over and helps the likeness.

Best Selfie for an AI Bobblehead Portrait
The caricature borrows your hair, facial hair, accessories and the mood of your expression, so the photo you choose decides how much of you it can pick up.

What your selfie hands to the caricature
Light and focus on the face
A sharp face with even light gives the most detail to work from. Harsh shadow across one side or a soft-focus phone shot leaves less to match.
Expression and backdrop
A relaxed smile or a neutral face works best, and the caricature will echo its general feel. The studio backdrop replaces your background, but a plain one in the upload tends to give a cleaner result.
How to make it

Questions & answers
Will I get a bobblehead image, a 3D file or a physical figure?
You get a still image: a studio portrait of you leaning on an oversized, glossy bobblehead-style caricature of yourself. The 3D wording describes how the caricature looks in the picture. This template does not produce a downloadable 3D model, an animated figure or a physical toy.
How many photos do I need?
One: a clear photo of you.
Is my photo private?
Your photos are used to make your image. Only upload photos of yourself, or of people who have agreed to it.
Can I use the result commercially?
Check your plan's terms for what you can do with generated images. They apply to your result.
How long does it take?
About a minute. You can leave the page; the finished 3D Bobblehead-Style image is saved to your assets.
Will the bobblehead look like me?
That is the aim: the caricature matches your hair, facial hair and the feel of your expression, with a big stylised head, expressive eyes and a glossy toy-like finish.
