# Create poses from a photo (https://docs.apparelai.app/photoshoots/create-poses)

Use **Create Poses** to change the pose of a photo you've already made. The model, the garment and the background stay the same, and only the pose changes. Pick up to 10 poses at once to turn one good shot into a matching set, such as front, back and side views for a listing.

Create Poses is on the **Photo Shoot Result** page, the editor where every finished photoshoot opens. These steps are for the web app.

## Turn one photo into new poses [#turn-one-photo-into-new-poses]

<Steps>
<Step>
### Open the photo in the editor [#open-the-photo-in-the-editor]

Open the photo on the **Photo Shoot Result** page. A new photoshoot opens there when it's ready. For an older shoot, click **Projects** in the sidebar, open the project and click **Edit in Studio**.
</Step>

<Step>
### Click Create Poses [#click-create-poses]

Under **Generate More** on the right, click the highlighted **Create Poses** button ("Same photo, different poses").

![The Photo Shoot Result page with the Create Poses button highlighted under Generate More](/images/photoshoots/create-poses-button.webp)

The **Create Poses** panel opens ("Generate new poses from current image"), with two steps: **Poses** and **Output**. Your photo is shown at the top under **REFERENCE**, with the note "Only the pose will change".
</Step>

<Step>
### Pick the poses [#pick-the-poses]

Click each pose you want, up to 10. You can mix preset poses with your own saved poses. Selected poses get a check mark, and the footer shows the cost, for example **Est. 6 credits** for three poses at **HD - 2K**. Then click **Continue**.

</Step>

<Step>
### Choose the output [#choose-the-output]

Pick an **Aspect Ratio** (all 10 ratios are shown) and a **Resolution**: **Standard - 1K**, **HD - 2K** or **Ultra - 4K**. Under **Additional Instructions (optional)**, you can add details, for example "Add gold jewelry, warm lighting, make dupatta flow".

</Step>

<Step>
### Generate the poses [#generate-the-poses]

Check the **SUMMARY**: the number of poses (for example "0 custom + 2 preset = 2"), the **Aspect Ratio**, the **Resolution** and the **Total Credits**. Then click the generate button. Its label shows how many poses you picked, for example **Generate 2 Poses**.
</Step>
</Steps>



## Which poses you can pick [#which-poses-you-can-pick]

The panel has the same preset poses as the **Pose** step of a photoshoot, grouped into categories such as Standard, Movement, Casual, Seated, Editorial and Dynamic. Poses you've saved as your own are listed too.

To build a set for a listing, try:

- **Back View** and **Side Profile** to show the back and the fit.
- **Three-Quarter** for a natural catalog angle.
- **Close-up (Top)** or **Fabric Close-up** for the details.

For every preset pose, and how to save your own, see [Choose a pose](/photoshoots/poses).

<Callout type="info" title="Check back-view poses">
A back-view pose shows the back of the garment. If your product doesn't have a back photo, the back in the new photo may not match your garment. See [Back-view poses](/photoshoots/poses#back-view-poses).
</Callout>

## Credits for new poses [#credits-for-new-poses]

You pay for each pose at the resolution you choose: 1 credit at **Standard - 1K**, 2 at **HD - 2K** and 3 at **Ultra - 4K**.

| Poses | Standard - 1K | HD - 2K | Ultra - 4K |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 1 credit | 2 credits | 3 credits |
| 2 | 2 credits | 4 credits | 6 credits |
| 5 | 5 credits | 10 credits | 15 credits |
| 10 | 10 credits | 20 credits | 30 credits |

Until you pick a pose, the footer shows **Est. 0 credits** and you can't continue. See [How credits work](/getting-started/credits).

## Create Poses or New Variation? [#create-poses-or-new-variation]

Create Poses changes only the pose. To change the model, the background or the other settings as well, use [New Variation](/photoshoots/new-variation).

<Callout type="warn" title="Check every pose before you publish">
Each pose is a new image. Compare it with your garment, especially logos, embroidery, borders and stitching, and fix anything that's off before you list it.
</Callout>
