Fake Flex is a virtual try-on app. Add a photo of yourself and a photo of the clothes, and see the outfit on you in seconds. Found a jacket in a store window, a dress in a screenshot, or a hoodie your friend owns? Try it on first, then decide. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a photo of yourself, or take one. 2. Add the clothing: a product photo, a screenshot, a picture of the item laid flat. 3. Choose a pose and a photo shape. 4. Wait a few seconds and the AI puts the outfit on you. WHAT YOU GET • Virtual try-on for tops, dresses, jackets and pants. Fit, folds and fabric are drawn onto your own photo. • Mix and match. Pro members can put up to 4 items on at once, like a jacket over a shirt over pants, and see the full look. • 10 poses. Keep your own pose, or try standing, walking, sitting, a runway pose and more. • 5 photo shapes: portrait, square, wide, vertical and original, so a result is ready for a Story or a post. • Save to your photos and share with friends before you spend a cent in the store. FREE TO START Make 5 try-ons a week for free, with a watermark. Pro removes the watermark and raises the limit to 20 a week, 100 a month or 500 a year. Credit packs let you pay as you go. GOOD FOR • Checking an online order before you buy it • Comparing two outfits for an event or a trip • Gift shopping: see a gift on yourself first • Making outfit photos to post PRIVACY To make a try-on, the photos you pick are sent to our AI provider (fal.ai, running OpenAI's image model). The app asks before the first upload. We don't sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for details. Terms of Service: https://fakeflex.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://fakeflex.app/privacy
