Frequently asked questions

How accurate is BodyFatAI?
BodyFatAI delivers a consistent, repeatable body-fat estimate from a guided, multi-pose scan completed in ~60 seconds. The system normalizes pose, distance and lighting, then applies advanced computer-vision models to produce a result that is optimized for tracking change over time (weekly and monthly trends). Accuracy can be influenced by environment and clothing; scanning under the same conditions yields the most reliable comparisons. BodyFatAI is not a medical device and does not provide medical diagnoses.
What lighting do I need?
For best results, use bright, even, indirect light—daylight near a window or a well-lit room with diffuse lighting. Avoid strong backlighting, deep shadows or very dim settings. Stand 2–3 m (6–10 ft) from the camera and keep the background simple. The app provides real-time lighting checks and will prompt adjustments before capture to protect data quality.
Will my photos remain private?
Yes. Faces are automatically blurred prior to analysis, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Images are processed solely to generate your estimate and power features you select (e.g., history or comparisons). You retain control at all times and can delete scans and data from Settings.
Which devices are supported?
BodyFatAI runs on modern smartphones with no additional hardware required.

iPhone: iOS 15+ (iPhone 11 or newer recommended for best performance)
Android: Android 10+ on 64-bit devices from major manufacturers.
