Photos that hug best

Use two photos taken from about the same distance, each with one person from the chest up and looking roughly at the camera. Both photos are cropped to a portrait and placed side by side, so a face near the edge of a wide photo can be cut off: center each person. Selfies at arm's length work well, as the examples show.

Your photos

Your photos are stored privately while the video is made and deleted when it's done, always within an hour. The clip stays in your Library for 7 days, then it's deleted.
