40+ Nearly Perfect Instagram Photos That Were Hilariously Ruined

It’s a Fact, Cats Hate Weddings

Here goes another one of a cat that wasn’t going to let that photo be snapped without the grace of his face. But he didn’t just want to be a part of the photo.

The cat wanted to exhibit its complete face, so that the delighted couple could forever recollect the day when a feline decided to join in their wedding pictures.

Not the Most Romantic Photo

Well, that’s definitely an interesting way of ruining a random couple’s photo. This couple opted for a charming kissing snapshot by leaning out of their respective car windows, but they failed to notice the presence of two guys in the back.

Both guys chose to pee exactly when the couple kissed and the photo was snapped. Now they’re stuck with this lovely picture.

That Was a Bit Unnecessary

Now, this is something new. Reportedly, this Instagram user was caught photoshopping the same cloud into her photographs, and nobody can quite comprehend the motive behind it.

Two things are possible here. Either she holds an immense fondness for that particular cloud formation and decided that it must feature in all her travel pictures, or perhaps the places depicted in her pictures are all artificially created via photo editing software.

Not Nature Can Escape

Even Mother Nature isn’t immune to being disgracefully photoshopped to appear more vibrant. The two photos below show a picture of a blue and purple stunning lake next to how the lake actually looks like (which is stunning on its own).

A man is seen sitting next to the lake in an unedited image, which essentially serves as proof that the person who posted the image on the left resorted to some extreme editing.

There Are Many More Out There

It may be hard to believe, but it is surprisingly common for people to add clouds via photoshop to their pictures on Instagram. Apparently, they give the photos a bit of a dreamy upgrade, resulting in tons of people resorting to stock photos and clouds every single day to be added to their Instagram posts.

That is certainly something we never thought we’d be writing about.

Drake Was Right There

On a regular evening, this guy went out for dinner with his family. In the midst of it all, they decided to take a group photo, unaware that it would become one of their most cherished memories.

Only when they took a look at the photo later that evening, did they realize that Drake was chilling right next to them!

What Happened to Her Foot?

There appears to be some extremely awkward editing in this picture that once noticed, cannot be ignored. The woman’s foot seems unnaturally tiny, making it difficult to comprehend how such a thing occurred.

Was it on purpose? Was it the angle? Or was it just an honest mistake, which accidentally became the height of this cute photo?

The Look on the Waiter’s Face!

This is one of the most incredibly awkward sceneries that involve children. This waiter had quite the unfortunate moment as he was bringing food to his table!

The photograph captured the moment when a child unexpectedly punched the waiter in the crotch, leaving him completely caught off guard.

Well, That’s Just Terrifying

While some individuals struggle with their editing skills, others take it to a level that is beyond words to describe. This woman posted a picture of herself that couldn’t look less like her real face.

Her excessive use of Photoshop resulted in her face becoming unrecognizable to even her closest friends and family. Despite this, she maintained that the altered image was real.

Striking a Pose

The art of posing may come naturally to some, but it can be a real struggle to some people out there, this girl included. As she was attempting to strike her best pose, a guy in the background couldn’t resist mimicking her stance.

She ended up with a hilarious picture that we hope she took well.

The Other Horse Looks Annoyed

There is always that one quirky friend that can’t see a photo being taken without making a funny face. This picture suggests that horses may also experience such moments, where one of them playfully mimics the other.

However, as anticipated, there is always a friend who fails to find it amusing. No matter what though, this is easily one of the cutest horse photos we’ve ever seen.

Is This really Her mugshot?

It’s evident that people have no boundaries when it comes to the types of images, they choose to manipulate using Photoshop, including mugshots. Someone had the brilliant idea of taking this mugshot and editing this woman’s everything, so it would become one of those viral mugshots.

We’re uncertain if this person has their priorities in order, given their unclear intentions.

Keeping Things Real

Firstly, it must be stated that she is stunning, regardless of what she chooses to put on her face. However, in a society where many individuals strive to be someone they’re not, it’s truly refreshing to witness someone being authentic.

To break the norm, this girl decided to put a photo of herself without any make-up and photoshop it next to one with the entire face production.

Couldn’t be further from Reality

Although we may be amused by the various ways in which these photos have failed, it’s challenging to disregard the potential hazards of scrolling through social media. Though some accounts are definitely authentic, others couldn’t be further from reality (in a really unhealthy way).

Let this be a reminder for all of us not to take everything we come across on social media at face value.

It’s All About the Pose

Not everyone tries to lie about who they truly are on social media though. In recent times, influencers have become increasingly conscious of the perils of creating unrealistic social media accounts and have made a concerted effort to keep things as authentic as possible.

For this person, it was all about the angle, the makeup, and well, a tiny bit of photoshop.

“Magazines Are an Illusion”

It’s not just Instagram users who manipulate their pictures online to give the impression of being closer to “perfection” than others. Celebrities do it too on a daily basis, and many rarely admit it.

And while they do it themselves, oftentimes, the decisions to hide any perceived “imperfections” on their bodies or faces are made by the influencers’ managers and producers. They ensure that their clients always appear flawless.

Skin Is Not Perfect

Have you ever pondered why celebrities never seem to have acne? It turns out that they actually do, but they either conceal it flawlessly or undergo harsh treatments to ensure that it never surfaces.

Nevertheless, there are many disadvantages that may come with keeping one’s image so clean and flawless all the time. In fact, it must be exhausting.

Instagram Vs Reality

Well, folks, there are actually people who have made it their purpose to create “Instagram vs reality” videos and posts just so people get a good dose of reality on a daily basis.

As we select who to follow on social media, it’s becoming more and more common for individuals to share unfiltered glimpses into their lives. In fact, it might have even become a trend to keep things real.

One Would Anticipate Better Photoshop Skills

No matter how famous they become, celebrities are still ordinary people, just like each one of us. And even though celebrities like Khloe Kardashian have tried to create brands to be more inclusive and break down barriers in Hollywood, even they give in to the photoshop rabbit hole.

One would assume that the work would be executed more proficiently.

That’s Way Too Much

Some pictures are photoshopped to a level that may actually start giving others trust issues. How are we supposed to know what is real and what isn’t anymore? Admittedly, there are times when certain giveaways such as makeup, angles, and poses are noticeable.

However, some individuals have become so skilled in the art of deception that it’s becoming more challenging to discern what is real and what is not.

“Am I Not the Cutest?”

Something about llamas is just too cute for this earth. Their perfectly asymmetrical faces give the impression of a constant smile, warming the heart of anyone who looks at them. So, when this llama unexpectedly photobombed a picture of the view of Machu Picchu from above, the fortunate photographer was left in complete amazement.

Now, they will always have a photo of a llama posing perfectly above Machu Picchu.

And We’re Back to Khloe Kardashian

For those who have been following the Kardashians for a while, or at least keeping up with the family through social media, Khloe Kardashian’s transformation came as a surprise, given that it was unexpected.

Even though the reality star has tried to keep things real here and there, we continue to learn that even she is not exempt from the wonders of photoshop.

The Queen of Social Media

It is widely known that Kylie Jenner has undergone extensive cosmetic procedures on her body. The social media pro has come under fire several times for procedures she has done, but never as much as that one time that she decided to get lip fillers.

This picture suggests that there may be something off about the fillers used by Kylie Jenner.

Coachella, The Instagram Farm

There’s something undeniably heartbreaking about this picture. It’s likely that most of us have heard of Coachella. That huge music and arts festival that counts with the presence of some of the most known Instagram and Hollywood stars.

However, this picture makes it evident that the thrill of the moment is not enjoyed by many people, as they spend a significant amount of their time seeking content.

Instagramers Are Ruining California’s Spring

Instagram users are willing to make considerable efforts to capture the perfect shot, regardless of its authenticity. They may even go as far as altering nature itself to capture the quintessential colorful California spring photo.

When someone started posting photos of this specific spot during California’s super bloom, others followed along and ended up killing hundreds of plants.

Kylie Jenner On the Same Day

Prior to Kylie Jenner undergoing any cosmetic “enhancements,” she already had a passion for experimenting with makeup and posing at different angles on social media. For example, the picture on the left was taken on the same day as the picture on the right-hand side, but it actually looks like we’re looking at two different people.

It seems highly likely that a significant amount of photoshop was utilized in this case.

Bye Bye Eyebrows

That’s quite an awkward situation. The girl put in a lot of effort to upload a stunning photoshopped image of herself, but she failed to verify if everything was in the correct position.

When she noticed that her eyebrow was poking through her hat in the posted picture, it became apparent that there were hardly any authentic elements in the image.

More Than a Few Distortions

Here we go again with a photoshop rookie mistake. As previously discussed, there are several factors that should be verified when publishing a photoshopped image. While most people won’t notice it if the picture is slightly edited, it is almost impossible to unsee that many angles that just don’t match.

For instance, if we consider the Colosseum and the fence in the background, how could they be so distorted?

Portrait of Melania Trump

It’s understandable that the First Lady would strive for a flawless White House portrait, particularly after years of establishing an impeccable image. But even Melania Trump is human and is prone to having some fine lines here and there.

Although her portrait cleverly concealed it, an alternative angle of the photograph exposed every unwanted line in her smile.

Leg Days Have to Get Better

We’ve heard countless jokes about muscular individuals who neglect or intentionally overlook the importance of training their legs with the same level of dedication as they do for the rest of their body.

Well, it seems like this person either loves that body shape, or she went a little overboard with the photoshopping situation. To appear more natural, she may have required slightly larger calves.

And We Go Back to Khloe … Again

There are so many things that are unsettling about this picture. The before-and-after pictures are so dissimilar that once again, it’s difficult to fathom how people are capable of distorting their images to this extent.

While we are aware that celebrity pictures are almost never left untouched, this level of photoshop is just an entirely different one. Despite everything, we still appreciate Khloe’s effort to maintain authenticity every now and then.
