Can you really read a face from just a photo?
Yes — everything Aura Mirror reports is read from the image you upload: the muscles in motion or at rest, the structure of your features, and the state your face is holding. It's the same visible evidence a trained human observer would use, scored consistently by AI.
What kind of photo works best?
One clear, front-facing photo with even light and your full face visible — no heavy filters, sunglasses, or extreme angles. A normal selfie is perfect. Better light means more accurate action-unit detection.
Do I need to answer questions or give my birthday?
No. Nothing in the reading depends on a quiz or your birth date. The photo is the input — that's the whole point. (An optional starter quiz only tunes tone; it never drives the analysis.)
Is reading by photo free?
Your first photo reading is free with no card. Full dossiers, daily reads, and AuraMax glow-ups are part of Living Mirror plans from $4.99.
What happens to my photo?
It's processed to generate your reading. With an account it's kept in your private history so you can track your baseline; you can delete everything anytime. Photos are never sold or used for ads.
