55 Hilarious Photoshop Fails That Should Not Have Been Posted

We have an endless pool of information at our fingertips, thanks to the internet. But the opposite also holds true. Fiction masquerading as fact will catch you if you aren't careful, and it doesn't just come in the form of words. Pictures can be just as deceiving, especially with AI and Photoshop thrown into the mix.

There was once a time whenPhotoshopwas reserved for those who actually knew how to use it. Nowadays, it's in the hands of anyone from your great aunt to your neighbor and that annoying influencer upstairs, who wants us all to believe their waist is the size of a pencil. People around the globe are bending reality at their will... and the results are not always amazing.

Bored Pandahas bravely gone down a rabbit hole of photoshopfailsto compile a list of the most confidently bizarre and hilarious ones out there. They show that anything is possible (though not always plausible) when you have the help of a magic wand or a healing brush.

You don't have to be a graphic designer or digital professional to be able to use Photoshop. Nowadays, the software is widely available and (almost) anyone can learn to manipulate an image. But it can be fun and entertaining, doing so is not always ethical.

People have been retouching photos long before Photoshop and other editing software entered the market. But back then, the process took more time, effort, resources, and dare we say, skill.

Today, apps like Facetune make it possible to change someone's eye color, or remove blemishes at the touch of a button. But digital manipulation can be particularly problematic when it comes to the world of fashion, beauty and aesthetics. Many argue that it promotes unrealistic or unattainable standards.

"At the same time that the creation of software facilitated the process of retouching images, it also made it possible to make several other profound body modifications, such as stretching the legs and thinning the waist and nose,"explainsAela, an online school specializing in UX, Design, and Digital Products.

The school's experts add that the manipulation that was previously used to hide an unwanted stain or pimple ended up becoming "a resource for to mold people within a standard of beauty."

Photo editing isn't just about enhancing an image, it can shape how people perceive reality. And that's why it's important to not compromise an image's authenticity when editing it.

"Edit the image so it stays true to the subject, rather than misrepresenting it,"advisesvirtual photo editing and design studio Pathedit. The team adds that this is especially important when editing photos of people but also applies to product photography.

"Authenticity can mean the difference between a returned product and a happy customer," they say.

Simone Biles offers support to Ilia Malinin: 'I’ve been through that'

If there's an American Olympic athlete who can relate to whatIlia Malininwent through on Friday, Feb. 13, it would be Simone Biles.

Malinin — nicknamed "The Quad God" — entered the2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympicsas the favorite in the men's figure skating competition — he was a two-time reigning world champion and four-time U.S. national champion. But, there's a different level of pressure to perform on the Olympic stage.Malinin's long program turned into a nightmare, and the skater finished outside of the medals in eighth place.

At the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Biles — a seven-time Olympic gold medalist — entered those Games with expectations to win five gold medals, onlyto struggle with the "twisties" andwithdraw from some events. She went home withsilver (team event)andbronze (balance beam)medals.

Biles was in attendanceat Milano Ice Skating Arena for Malinin's disappointing long program on Feb. 13, after whichMalinin admitted that he "was not ready to handle"the Olympic pressure.

In the aftermath of Malinin's upsetting performance, Biles was among a number ofnotable athletes who reached out to him, and the two spoke on Tuesday, Feb. 17.

"Just for someone to validate his feelings and to know we've gone through the same things, but you can still come out on top,"Biles told Olympics.com. "While I was telling him some of what I thought he might be going through or how to move forward from this, he was like, 'Exactly this. Exactly.' He was like, 'You finally just said it.'"

Ilia Malinin was the gold medal favorite entering the 2026 Winter Olympics but the self-proclaimed "Quad God" had a disastrous free skate performance, falling twice and suffering an epic meltdown on the sport's biggest stage.
See the critical moments in his troubled routine.

Ilia Malinin falls apart, fails to medal in men's figure skating

Malinin had a seemingly comfortable five-point lead after the short program, butfell twice and did not fully complete other elementsof his difficult long program.

"I was really worried about how his mental health was going to be," Biles told Olympics.com. "When you're expected to skate a performance of your lifetime and you don't deliver, I worry how that affects his mental (health) and how the world is going to view that.

"I've been through that firsthand and so I really went into protection mode."
