Which dog photos work best?

Front-on, eyes open, mouth closed, ears visible, taken at the dog's eye level. Long-snouted breeds look funnier mid-scream.

A dog and a cat together?

Yes — Pets mode handles any pair. Upload one photo of each.

My dog is black / very dark — does it work?

Yes if the photo is well lit so the eyes and nose are clear. Avoid flash and backlight.

Yes, same rules: a clear face looking at the camera.

Pets

Smalltown Boy AI with two dogs

After cats, dogs are the second most-shared version of the trend. Upload one front-on photo of each dog, choose Pets mode, and both keep their face, coat and ears through the scream, the head-clutch and the 80s dance.

Best dog photos

Looking at the camera, eyes open, mouth closed (the AI opens it for the scream).
Taken at the dog’s eye level, not from above.
Even daylight; no flash, no backlight, no harness covering the face.
One dog per photo, at least 512×512 px.

Dog and cat, dog and human

Pets mode takes any two animals. For a dog and its owner, choose One of each — the human screams first, the dog follows.
