Brands may order photos as an add-on to your video tasks. If photos are required, you’ll see a "Photo Requirements" section in the brief. Here’s how it looks in the app:
Popular Photo Types Brands Request:
Technical Requirements for Photos
Unless specified, upload photos in a 9:16 (vertical) aspect ratio.
The video resolution should be at least 4 megapixels.
Use common formats like JPG or PNG. Turn off LIVE photos and HDR before shooting.
Keep the photo clean—avoid filters, stickers, or text.
Types of Photos
Instagram-style product shot in the natural environment
Focus on the product—make it the star of the shot.
Use a background that complements the product, and feel free to add props, as long as they enhance the product rather than draw attention away from it.
Ensure the entire product is clearly visible in the shot.
Video Thumbnail
The video thumbnail should be a high-quality photo that aligns with the vibe and content of your video.
Make sure the product is clearly visible in the thumbnail.
Don't use a screenshot from your video. Instead, take a few photos while shooting the video, in the same location and outfit.
Selfie with a product
Take a casual, natural-looking picture while holding the product.
Show positive emotions—look excited or happy about the product.
Choose a neutral or relevant background to keep the focus on the product.
Lifestyle shots - product in use
Show the product in action, as part of your daily routine.
Include relevant items in the scene to enhance the story, but keep the focus on the product.
Choose a location and setting that fits the product's purpose and vibe.
