Step 2: Upload your main subject

Best Practices

  • Use a full-body photo with both hands visible so the handshake has room to read clearly.
  • Leave open space on one side of the subject for the burning double to appear.
  • Pick a simple background that separates the person from the flames.
  • Keep the subject’s head, feet, and ground contact inside the crop.
  • Use a vertical 9:16 frame for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
  • Avoid dark clothing against a dark background, where the duplicate’s shape may disappear.
