Q: How do you scan yourself?

  • You receive an SMS (or an e-mail) with a measurement link that is opened through a browser from any smartphone, and then scan yourself. The process is easy and fast. As a first step you provide your height, weight, and gender; the second step is to take 2 photos, front and side. If needed, you can ask a friend to assist and take photos of yourself. If you are alone, you can easily continue through the voice controlled table flow and take photos by putting your smartphone on a table against a coffee mug or any backing. If you’re curious for more or have questions please watch our demo.

Q: How do you take a photo properly?

  • Here’s our full recommendation list as well as technical requirements for the photos:
  1. Wear fitted clothing: tight jeans, a tank top or tight shirt, yoga pants, fitted blouse, snug clothing, etc.
  2. Make sure your pockets are empty. Take off all unnecessary items of clothing and accessories, such as hats, bracelets, and bags.
  3. Long hair should be tied up or pulled back.
  4. The pose should be natural with relaxed arms as shown in the photos (don’t squeeze your legs, put or hold your hands together, place hands in pockets, or stand stiff).
  5. The distance between your feet should be 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm).
  6. The distance between you and the camera should be about 6 to 8 ft. (2 - 2.5m). The camera center placement should be at the waist level of the person.
  7. Make sure your photos are bright and clear—with the distinct contour of your body. Photos in the dark won’t work.
