How do I take a good photo of myself for an AI try-on?

Use a clear, well-lit photo where your body is easy to see, then add the clothing photo in Fake Flex and pick a pose. Fake Flex lets you choose a photo from your library or take one on the spot.

Get Fake Flex on the App Store

Steps

Open Fake Flex and pick a photo of yourself, or take one.
Stand where the camera sees you. The app draws clothes on the photo you give it, so a photo that shows the part of the body the garment covers gives it more to work with.
Add the clothing: a product photo, a screenshot, or a picture of the item laid flat.
Choose a pose. There are 10, including keeping your own pose.
Choose a photo shape: portrait, square, wide, vertical or original.
Wait a few seconds while the AI puts the outfit on you.

Tips that help

Keep your own pose if the photo already looks the way you want. Pose is applied in the same step as the try-on.
Use good light and avoid heavy filters, so colors in the result read true to life.
Matching the garment to the photo helps: a jacket suits a photo that shows your upper body, pants need your legs in frame.
Crop screenshots to the item alone.

What to expect

The App Store update notes say try-ons run on an image model built to keep your face and background unchanged. The result is still an AI picture, so treat it as a preview of the look.

Questions

Can I take a new photo inside the app?
Yes. The listing says pick a photo of yourself, or take one.

Do I need a full-body photo?
Match the photo to the garment: a jacket needs your upper body in frame, pants need your legs.

How many tries are free?
5 a week, with a watermark.
