Same face. Same person. 25 minutes later.

I use my own product. If it didn't work on me, you wouldn't be reading this page.

Why PoseLab exists

I'm Max Werner, an engineer based in Germany. I needed a new headshot for a profile and balked at the quote: a hundred euros, a two-week wait, and a studio session for a single usable frame.

The image models had quietly gotten good enough that this didn't need to be the answer anymore. I built PoseLab as the workflow I wished existed — upload selfies from your phone, get a polished gallery back in about 25 minutes, pay once, own the files.

No subscription. No upsells. No "credits" that expire. The free preview exists because I don't expect you to trust an AI product with your face on faith — you should see the result on your own face before spending a cent.

What you can actually count on

A small operation can't fake scale — but it can promise things a large one usually won't.

14-day money-back guarantee

If the gallery misses the mark and a free retry doesn't fix it, I refund you. No forms, no friction.

Real reply within 24 hours

Every email goes to me directly. Most replies land within a few hours during European working hours.

Your photos get deleted

Inputs and outputs auto-delete after 30 days. Earlier on request. No training on your images — ever.

Free retry on any style

If a style looks off, I'll re-run it with tighter prompts at no charge before any refund discussion.

Built on accountable infrastructure

Stripe for payments, Cloudflare R2 for storage, OpenAI for generation. No mystery middlemen.

Same operator, every order

No outsourced support. The person writing the code is the person answering your email.
