Photo requirements for Polar Bear 2026 AI

• Human: a sharp photo with your face turned to the camera, in good light. Most of the clip is a close-up of the face, so a clear face matters most. You get a white fluffy coat for the snow; your fac…
• Bear behind you: head to waist or head to knees in view, face to the camera. Your clothes stay as in the photo.
• Pet: the face clear and the whole head in view. Fur colors and markings come from the photo.
• No sunglasses, no hat that hides the face, no beauty filter, and nobody else in the photo.
• Use a photo of yourself, of an adult who agreed, or of your own pet. Never a celebrity or a stranger.

Troubleshooting Polar Bear 2026 AI

• --- — ---
• A black nose, fur or round ears show up on your face (Human) — The bear in the clip has them, and the prompt bans them. Use a sharp photo with the face turned to the camera, then run it again.
• Your pet comes out cream-white or with a big black nose (Pet) — The bear in the clip has both. Use a sharp photo where the fur and the nose are clear, then run it again.
• The mouth moves, but not exactly to the words — Human and Pet copy the bear's mouth, not the lyrics, so there is no exact lip sync.
