How to make your four-photo reveal

  1. 1. Pick the photo and costume

    Upload a clear JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. Use a photo you have permission to edit. Choose a preset or describe the costume.

  2. 2. Generate the three versions

    Review the total credit cost, then create your costume reveal. Your three costume pictures appear alongside the unchanged original for the final reveal.

  3. 3. Add captions and download

    Edit each caption, save it, then download the four separate pictures. You can also export captioned copies and a four-picture preview.

Where to post the Sorry I Lied costume trend

The Sorry I Lied costume trend works as a swipe-through joke: start with your biggest Halloween claim, then let each photo reveal a little more of the truth. Download the four separate pictures before opening TikTok or Instagram, so you can arrange the story yourself.

For TikTok Photo Mode, upload all four photos in this order: the complete costume, the costume with your original hair or fur, one small accessory, and your unchanged original. Use “The big claim,” “Less costume,” and “One accessory” as short on-image captions, then end with “I’m so sorry I lied.” Choose a sound you are allowed to use and preview the sequence before posting.

For an Instagram carousel, keep the same order so the final swipe delivers the confession. Add your own introduction, such as “My Halloween costume was incredible…”, and invite friends to swipe for the truth. A princess portrait, butterfly outfit, witch costume or pet lion can all tell the same four-photo story. Share the individual images as slides; the four-picture preview is useful for showing the whole reveal at once.

Sorry I Lied FAQ

What is the Sorry I Lied photo effect?

It is a four-photo reveal: an elaborate costume, the costume with original hair or fur, one small accessory on the original outfit, then your unchanged photo. You can edit the captions and download each picture separately.

Can I use a person or a pet?

Yes. Start with one clearly visible person or pet. Choose Princess, Butterfly, Lion or Witch, or describe your own costume. AI can change facial details, costume designs and the background; exact likeness is not guaranteed.

Does the AI edit my original photo?

Your original photo stays unchanged as the fourth picture. The first three pictures show your costume reveal. Download each picture separately, with or without your own captions, or save a four-picture preview.

What happens if generation fails?

After a confirmed failure, retry the complete reveal at the displayed cost. If the connection drops, reopen your existing reveal before starting another one. Downloading saved pictures does not use extra credits.

Will a blurry or old photo stay identical?

The fourth photo remains your uploaded file. Generated pictures can become sharper or change grain and details. Use a clear photo for more predictable results.
