How it works

Posture Correct straightens a mild sideways lean and leaves everything else exactly as you shot it. It locates each person by their face, shoulders and hips, holds the head, both arms and both hands completely still, and moves only the torso and hips beneath them. The space between each arm and the body is opened or closed to absorb that movement, easing to nothing through the upper thighs, so limb shapes and widths never change. Every pixel outside the adjusted area is copied straight into a lossless PNG. In a group photo you pick who to change, or switch on "Apply to everyone" in Settings. Anyone standing too close for their neighbour to stay untouched is left alone rather than guessed at. It corrects a mild side lean only — not a forward slouch or a turned pose — and stops rather than guessing when the background between arm and body is too busy to work with.

Processing

Posture Correct uses an AI action. Any separate allowance is shown before this effect starts processing.

Best for

sharp, opaque, front-facing photos with a clear face, both shoulders, elbows, wrists, complete arms, hands and hips visible, fitted clothing, a mild sideways lean, and clean, plain background between each arm and the body — including group photos where each person has clear space around them.

Less suited to: people packed shoulder to shoulder with no gap between them, side or seated poses, forward slouch, a turned or twisted pose, arms pressed against the body, busy background between arm and body, transparent cutouts, motion blur, and bodies touching the image edge.

Ways to use Posture Correct

  • Reduce a restrained camera-plane side lean without changing facial identity, expression, limb width, or source texture.
  • Bring the visible pelvis closer to the shoulder center while keeping both source arms and hands pixel-exact.
  • Use intensity to choose a subtle or more defined correction inside verified person and low-detail background limits.

Posture Correct questions

Can Posture Correct fix forward slouch or rounded shoulders?
No. A forward-slouch repair is a 3D pose change that can reveal hidden clothing, skin, hair, and background. Reconstructing those unseen pixels would require generation and could change identity or texture. This source-preserving tool corrects only a mild sideways shoulder-to-hip offset visible in the camera plane.
Why is posture correction stricter than virtual staging?
Virtual staging is expected to synthesize furniture and large room regions. A portrait correction must preserve a real person's identity and anatomy. Posture Correct therefore keeps the face, head, shoulder line, complete arms, and hands fixed, moves only the verified torso and hips, and absorbs that movement only inside measured source-background gaps between the arms and body. If either gap or the body geometry is unsafe, it refuses the photo instead of bending a limb or generating hidden anatomy and background.
