Make it your own

Change your pose without another photo shoot.

Use a pose reference, describe a new position, create a sequence of actions, or combine a pose with a background you choose. Each example shows the inputs and a result so you can start with the workflow that fits your photo.

Describe the pose in plain language

Tell the editor where to place the shoulders, hands, and feet. Edit a preset’s instruction to suit the person and framing in your photo.

Use a photo as a pose reference

Upload a reference that shows the body position you want. The original photo supplies the person; the pose reference guides posture and composition.

Build a sequence or change the setting

Write a few actions for separate photos, or upload a background alongside your pose direction. Keep the person and outfit as references throughout the edit.

Copy the pose, keep your own appearance.

Use a second photo to show the posture you want. The original supplies the person and outfit; the reference supplies body position, hand placement and the angle of the shoulders.

  • Separate original and pose-reference inputs
  • Reference clothing and identity stay out of the instruction
  • Compare the resulting posture with both source images

Pose

Use the pose reference only for the seated posture, crossed legs and relaxed hand position. Keep the original person, face, hairstyle, outfit and setting. Do not copy the reference person, clothing or background.

Describe a new pose in your own words.

Tell the editor where to place the hands, shoulders and feet. Start with the hands-on-hips example, then change the direction to suit your portrait. Standing, seated and walking poses are all directions within this workflow.

  • One original photo and an editable pose direction
  • No reference photo needed
  • Ask to preserve the original person, outfit and setting

Pose

Show the same person standing with both hands resting on their hips, elbows gently angled outward, weight resting on one leg and a relaxed expression. Keep the whole body in frame, including hands and feet. Keep their face, hairstyle, outfit and the original background.

One person. A sequence of separate photos.

Write one action for each image—for example, stand, step forward and look back. The editor uses your original photo throughout the sequence and asks for consistent appearance, clothing and location.

  • Two to four actions, one photo per action
  • Review the full sequence together
  • Download or reuse each image separately

  1. Stand completely still, facing the camera straight on. Place both feet parallel and side by side on the ground, with weight evenly balanced. Keep both knees straight but relaxed, shoulders level and both arms hanging loosely at your sides. Do not step forward, cross your legs or pose mid-stride.
  2. Walk across the frame toward the left in a clear side profile. Turn your torso and face to the left, looking in the direction of travel rather than at the camera. Capture a wide, unmistakable mid-stride step with the feet well apart, one leg forward and the other behind, and the arms swinging naturally in opposite directions.
  3. Pause and turn your head back toward the camera over one shoulder, with your arms relaxed.

Put the pose in the place you have in mind.

Upload your portrait and a background image, then describe how to turn, stand or sit. An optional pose reference can help explain body direction without replacing the person or outfit.

  • Original person and background have separate roles
  • An editable pose prompt is included
  • Optional pose photo for extra guidance

Pose

Turn your torso about 45 degrees away from the camera, then turn your head back toward the lens. Keep shoulders relaxed and frame an upper-body portrait. Use the pose reference only for body direction, not identity or clothing.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Use the AI pose changer to edit posture from a written direction or reference photo. Create an action sequence as separate images, or add a background reference when the pose belongs in a new location.

Do I need a pose reference image?

No. Choose a preset or write a direction such as “turn the shoulders slightly and rest one hand at your side.” If you add a pose reference, it guides body position while your original supplies the person to edit.

Can I keep the face and outfit?

You can ask the model to preserve identity, clothing, and scene. The result still needs review: an AI edit can alter these details even when preservation is requested.

Where can I find natural poses for pictures?

Our pose guide explains standing, seated, and walking ideas with practical directions. Each suggested pose can be brought into this editor as an editable instruction.

Does an action sequence create a video?

No. It creates two to four separate still photos, with one written action for each image. Review the series for consistency before downloading or reusing a photo.

What photos work best for changing a pose?

Choose a sharp image where the relevant body area is visible. Avoid heavily cropped hands or feet if the new pose depends on them, and keep the requested viewpoint close to the original.

Can I reuse the edited photo in another tool?

Yes. Use the result actions to open it in a compatible photo tool, or select it later from My assets. Your original upload stays separate.

Is this a pose guide or a photo editor?

This page edits an existing photo. For ideas you can try in front of a camera, visit the poses for pictures article in our Blog.
