Quick Answer Updated
Wide-angle phone lenses and unflattering angles genuinely make faces look 10-20% wider than real life. Upload your photo and type 'correct the wide-angle lens distortion so my face looks natural.' EditThisPic's AI reverses the stretching that your camera added. Not a face slimmer β€” a distortion fixer. Free to try, no signup.

Common Issues

The correction looks unnatural or overdone

Why: AI sometimes over-corrects, making changes too obvious

Try: make the correction more subtle and natural β€” it should look like a better photo, not an edit

'Subtle and natural' is the most important phrase for appearance fixes

Fix changed my face too much β€” doesn't look like me

Why: Aggressive edits can alter facial proportions and identity

Try: keep my face exactly the same, only fix the specific issue I mentioned

Be very specific about what to change and explicitly state what to keep

The edit looks obvious in comparison to the original

Why: Strong local edits can create visible transitions with surrounding areas

Try: blend the edited area smoothly with the surrounding skin and features

Good blending is key β€” AI handles this well with explicit instructions

Lighting changed after the correction

Why: Localized edits can alter the apparent lighting on the face

Try: match the lighting on the corrected area to the rest of the photo

Mention 'consistent lighting' to ensure the edit doesn't create new artifacts

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the camera really add 10 pounds?

Effectively, yes. Wide-angle lenses stretch faces 10-20% wider, flat lighting removes definition, and low angles hide jawlines. The combination genuinely makes faces look rounder and heavier than reality.

Is this just a face slimmer like Facetune?

No. Facetune warps pixels to make faces thinner. EditThisPic reverses the actual lens distortion your camera created. The result is your real proportions, not an artificially slimmed version.

Why do I look fine in the mirror but bad in photos?

Mirrors show you at the distance your eyes are, which has no lens distortion. Phone cameras use wide-angle lenses at close distance, which stretches faces. Photos are the inaccurate version.

Can I fix photos someone else took of me?

Yes. Any photo works β€” selfies, group photos, candids. Save the image, upload it, and fix the distortion.

Will people notice the edit?

No. The correction looks completely natural because it's restoring accurate proportions, not creating artificial ones.

Is this really free?

Yes β€” 1 free edit per week, no account needed. Plans start at $3.99/month for unlimited.

Can I fix face shape on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser β€” iPhone, Android, tablet. No app needed.
