Phone selfie upgrade. From 28mm distorted to 85mm perfect.

Your phone camera takes selfies at 28mm equivalent. Portraits should be taken at 85mm. ThePortraitOS corrects the difference.

Phone front cameras use wide-angle lenses that create unflattering perspective distortion at selfie distance: the nose appears larger, the ears appear to recede, and facial proportions are generally exaggerated. This is the primary reason phone selfies rarely look as good as photographed portraits. ThePortraitOS corrects the perspective distortion and transforms the phone selfie into an 85mm-equivalent portrait.

Why it works

Perspective distortion is the most common and least recognised reason why phone selfies look unflattering compared to photographer-taken portraits.

Perspective distortion is the most common and least recognised reason why phone selfies look unflattering compared to photographer-taken portraits. Correcting this single technical issue transforms the result dramatically, even before any quality enhancement is applied.

What the output looks like

The 0.1% technical difference.

Wide-angle perspective correction involves identifying the subject's facial geometry, calculating the transformation required to convert from the captured wide-angle perspective to 85mm portrait lens perspective, applying the transform, and rendering the portrait at the corrected proportions. ThePortraitOS applies all steps within the portrait generation pipeline.

What the output looks like

What a phone selfie upgrade portrait looks like.

The portrait shows natural facial proportions at 85mm equivalent: nose appears in its correct proportion relative to the face, ears are at their natural relative size, and the face reads as it actually appears at conversational distance.

Common questions

Does this work for rear camera selfies?

Yes. Rear cameras also use a lens that may create perspective distortion at close range, though the effect is less severe than front cameras. The correction is applied based on the detected perspective of any input image.

Is the perspective correction visible in the result?

It is visible as a natural improvement in facial proportions. The nose appears less prominent, the face appears more balanced, and the overall portrait reads as photographed at professional focal length.

Can I take the selfie in portrait or landscape mode?

Portrait mode (vertical) works best for portrait generation. Landscape can work but the face may be at a smaller proportion of the frame.
