Pose Maxing: Fix the Pose in a Photo You Already Have

Most photos fail on the pose, not the face: weight on both feet, square to the lens, hands with nothing to do. Pose Maxing corrects exactly that in a photo you already have, and leaves everything else alone — the place, the people, your clothes and your face. Pose Maxing is also searched as posemaxing or posemaxxing — same tool, same page.

Example photo before Pose Maxing: a man standing stiffly in a cafe, square to the camera, arms hanging at his sides — An example photo before the fix.

The same photo after Pose Maxing: same cafe, same clothes, same man, now standing with his weight on one leg, body turned and a relaxed smile — The same photo after three fixes. Same place, same clothes, same face.

What changes, and what stays

Only the pose: where the weight sits, the angle of the body, what the hands are doing, how you sit, where you look. The place, the people around you, your clothes and your face stay as they were. It corrects the photo you already have; it does not make a new one.

How it works

Upload a photo from your gallery or take one with the camera. We measure the pose in it and show what we spotted. Then choose how to pick the fixes: Our pick starts from what we measured, Surprise me picks a mix that fits together, and Choose myself opens the full list. Up to two body fixes, one face fix and one lighting fix go into a single photo.

The face

Two switches cover it. Fix the gaze turns the eyes back to the lens. Fix the expression brings in a real laugh. With both on, the eyes leave the lens as a smile arrives. Face shape, skin, age and features are kept as they are.

Where the fixes come from

We sat with photographers and wrote down what they actually say to someone who has gone stiff in front of a lens: weight onto one leg, shoulders off square, give that hand a job, turn the palm edge-on, sit forward with two anchors. Each fix is one of those corrections.

Your photo

Photos are processed by Azure OpenAI and OpenAI to make the edit and are not used to train models. Without an account the photo and its result are deleted after 24 hours. Signing up and adding a few reference photos of yourself helps the result keep your likeness.
