09/24/2025, 5:50 AMThank you for reaching out! Hedra is designed to automatically center and crop around the face in the image you provide to create avatars as 512x512px square videos. I understand you might want more control over this, but currently, this auto-cropping is an essential part of how Hedra generates avatars, so it can't be turned off. If you have any other questions or need help with this, I'm here for you!

09/24/2025, 5:52 AMThanks for sharing your image! Just so you know, even if you upload a 512x512px image, Hedra will automatically crop and center around the face. This helps make sure the avatar really highlights the facial area. I understand this might feel a bit limiting, but this feature is built into the avatar generation process and can’t be turned off. If you have any other questions or need help, I’m here for you!
