Photo Editing Filters: Influence on Face Analysis Accuracy

Photo filters are fun, but do they interfere with digital face analysis? MirrorIQ accepts natural-looking photos for best results—heavy filters often distort real features and reduce accuracy. Here’s what to know before you scan. To check scan costs, visit our pricing page.

Types of Filters and Their Effects

• Color overlays or extreme smoothing tools may mask fine details AI needs for mapping.

• Distortion filters—changing face shape—should be avoided for analysis purposes.

• Subtle brightness or contrast tweaks are generally OK, as long as features remain visible.

Preserving Authenticity

Upload unedited or lightly adjusted images to receive honest, informational feedback from MirrorIQ or any AI scan. For further advice, see our selfie pose guide.

Privacy Matters

Rest assured, your images remain private and are deleted after the scan, no matter your edits.
