Key Steps

1

Open the Face Edit feature & Upload

Log into your Expression Editor AI account, navigate to the Face Edit feature, and upload your photo. For best results, use a photo with a single, clear face.

2

(Optional) Calibrate for 3D Preview

For guidance, you can calibrate the face to our generic 3D model. This step is recommended if you want a real-time preview of your adjustments, but it can be skipped.

3

Navigate to Head Controls

In the settings panel on the bottom left, click on the "Head" tab to reveal all the adjustment controls.

4

Adjust the Head Tilt (Roll)

Use the 'Roll (Tilt)' slider to tilt the head to the left or right. A slight tilt can make a pose look much more natural and dynamic.

5

Apply and Generate

Once you're ready, click "Apply" to generate the final, high-quality image with your head position adjustment applied directly to your original photo.
