Landscape vs. Portrait Face Scans: Which to Use?

Should your selfie be shot in landscape or portrait orientation for a MirrorIQ scan? The answer depends on what you want from your AI-based face analysis! MirrorIQ delivers instant, private informational reports on facial balance, so choosing the best photo format can help you see your features more clearly. For optimal results, feel free to Start MirrorIQ Scan and try both modes.

Differences Between Landscape and Portrait Modes

Portrait mode (vertical) typically frames the face more closely, drawing focus to symmetry and feature ratios. Landscape (horizontal) may show more background, but could distort features if taken close-up or with a wide-angle lens.

Best Practices for Each Format

• Portrait: Use for accurate, close face mapping.

• Landscape: Ensure your face stays centered and at a suitable distance to minimize distortion.

Tips for Consistent Results

Always keep your face fully in-frame and well-lit. To enhance accuracy, learn about proper photo angles. Experiment with both orientations and check your reports for differences—MirrorIQ offers unlimited scans for just this reason.

Feature Comparison

• Background: More visible in landscape, less distraction in portrait.

• Lighting: Equally important in both; avoid strong side-lighting in landscape mode.
