The selfie looks stretched. Is that a problem?

Mild phone distortion is okay. If the face is partly out of frame, retake it.

Can I put the doll back into my camera roll?

Yes. Download saves a JPG. On a phone you can also use the system share sheet when the browser supports sharing files.

Crochet Filter / crochet selfie filter

Crochet selfie filter

A crochet selfie filter is the trend in its most common form: one person, front camera, arm's length, then a yarn doll with the same hair. The wide-angle stretch of a phone selfie is usually fine. What hurts is a dark room or a hand covering half the face.

After the image lands, the share row copies a caption and opens TikTok, Instagram, or X. Download the file first. Those apps need the JPG from your camera roll; they do not pull it from this page automatically.
