BestPick supports all major image formats commonly used today:

• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg): Most common format, excellent for photos
• PNG (.png): High quality with transparency support
• GIF (.gif): Supports both static and animated images

For optimal AI analysis results, we recommend using high-quality images that are at least 200x200 pixels. Each image should be under 10MB for the fastest processing speed and best user experience.

You can upload up to 3 photos at once for comparison, which we've found to be the optimal number for accurate AI analysis and meaningful results. You need a minimum of 2 photos to enable comparison functionality.

This limit ensures:

• Fast processing times (under 10 seconds)
• Accurate comparative analysis between images
• Clear, actionable recommendations
• Optimal server performance for all users

If you have more than 3 photos to compare, simply run multiple analyses with different combinations to find your absolute best image.

It's perfectly normal to sometimes disagree with AI recommendations. This can happen for several reasons:

• Personal Preference: Your aesthetic preferences may differ from general trends
• Specific Audience: Your followers might prefer different styles than the general population
• Context Matters: The AI can't consider specific captions or posting context
• Emotional Attachment: You might prefer photos with personal significance
• Technical Focus: The AI prioritizes technical quality you might not value as highly
• Platform Differences: What works on one platform might not work on another

Remember, BestPick provides data-driven recommendations based on general engagement patterns. Your final choice should always consider your personal goals, brand, and audience. Use the AI insights as guidance rather than absolute rules.
