How to Reshape Your Nose in a Photo with AI

6 min read
Quick Answer

To reshape your nose in a photo, upload your image to EditThisPic and describe the change: 'make the nose slightly slimmer' or 'straighten the bridge of the nose.' The AI adjusts the nose shape naturally while keeping the rest of the face intact. Free, no signup.

Preview Nose Changes Without Surgery or Photoshop

Camera lenses distort facial proportions β€” wide-angle selfie cameras make noses look 30% larger than they appear in person. Even without distortion, many people wish they could make small adjustments to their nose shape in photos. AI nose reshaping gives you that control in seconds. No liquify tools, no warping grids, no risk of making the surrounding face look melted.

How AI Nose Reshaping Works

EditThisPic's AI understands facial anatomy. It identifies the nose bridge, tip, nostrils, and surrounding facial structure, then makes the requested adjustments while keeping everything proportional. Unlike Photoshop's liquify tool, which warps pixels blindly, the AI rebuilds the area with proper skin texture, lighting, and shadow consistency. The result looks like the person's actual face with a different nose shape, not like a distorted photo.

Popular Nose Reshaping Edits

  • Slim the nose β€” reduce overall width for a narrower profile
  • Straighten the bridge β€” correct a crooked or deviated-looking bridge
  • Refine the tip β€” make a rounded or bulbous tip look more defined
  • Reduce nostril width β€” narrow the nostrils subtly
  • Shorten the nose β€” reduce length from bridge to tip
  • Undo lens distortion β€” fix the enlarged nose effect from selfie cameras

The Selfie Camera Problem

Front-facing phone cameras sit close to your face and use wide-angle lenses. This makes the nose β€” the closest feature to the camera β€” appear significantly larger than it really is. A 2018 study from JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery found that photos taken at 12 inches increased nose size by 30%. If your nose looks fine in the mirror but oversized in selfies, the camera is lying. AI reshaping can correct this distortion to show what you actually look like.

Writing Good Reshaping Prompts

Be specific about what you want changed. 'Make the nose slightly slimmer' works better than 'fix my nose' because the AI knows exactly what to adjust. For multiple changes: 'slim the nose and refine the tip.' For subtle results: 'very slightly narrow the bridge of the nose.' For correcting camera distortion: 'make the nose proportional to the rest of the face, undo the wide-angle lens distortion.' The more specific your prompt, the more precise the result.

Keeping Results Natural

Small changes look the most convincing. Slimming a nose by 10-15% is nearly undetectable. Reducing it by 50% will look obviously edited and distort the facial proportions. EditThisPic defaults to conservative adjustments β€” a prompt like 'make the nose slimmer' produces a subtle, natural-looking change. If you want more dramatic reshaping, be explicit: 'make the nose noticeably slimmer and the tip more pointed.' But the best results come from small, targeted changes.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Upload Your Portrait

Drop your photo into EditThisPic. Use a well-lit photo where the face is clearly visible. Front-facing portraits and three-quarter angles both work. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB.

2

Describe the Reshaping

Type your instruction: 'make the nose slightly slimmer,' 'straighten the bridge,' or 'refine the nose tip.' Be specific about which part of the nose you want to change for the most accurate result.

3

Compare Before and After

Use the before/after slider to see the change. Check that the surrounding skin, shadows, and facial proportions all look natural. Small changes should be subtle but visible.

4

Iterate If Needed

Want more change? Try 'make the nose even slimmer' or add specifics: 'also refine the tip.' Want less? Start over with 'very subtly slim the nose.' A couple of iterations usually dials in the perfect look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'make the nose slimmer' or describe the specific change you want. The AI adjusts the nose shape while keeping the rest of the face natural. Free to use, no account needed.
Not if you keep the changes subtle. EditThisPic's AI rebuilds the area with proper skin texture, shadows, and lighting rather than just warping pixels. Small adjustments β€” slimming, straightening, refining the tip β€” produce convincing results that look like a natural face, not a distorted photo.
Yes. Selfie cameras use wide-angle lenses that make the nose look up to 30% larger than reality. Try 'fix the wide-angle distortion on the nose' or 'make the nose proportional to the rest of the face.' The AI corrects the perspective distortion to show what you actually look like.
Many people use AI nose reshaping to visualize potential surgical outcomes. While it's not a medical-grade simulation, it gives a useful approximation. Try describing the specific changes you're considering: 'slim the bridge, refine the tip, and slightly lift the nose angle.'
Yes. The AI can reshape noses in front-facing portraits, three-quarter angles, and side profiles. For side views, try prompts like 'reduce the bump on the bridge' or 'make the nose straighter in profile.' Clear, well-lit photos give the best results regardless of angle.
Yes, but be specific about whose nose to adjust: 'make the nose slimmer on the person in the center.' The AI targets only the specified face and leaves everyone else untouched.
