In today’s social media world, it’s no secret that many people edit their photos before posting them online. Whether it’s smoothing skin, adjusting body shapes, or enhancing backgrounds, photo editing has become very common. But sometimes, these edits go far beyond minor touch-ups, making people look completely different from reality.
That’s where this online community comes in—it highlights Instagram users who take editing too far, showcasing before-and-after comparisons that reveal just how much an image has been altered. A quick scroll through social media can make anyone feel like they’re not measuring up. Everyone seems flawless, their lives look perfect—but is it really real?
It’s important to remember that what you see online is just a carefully chosen glimpse, not the full picture. To highlight this, we introduce you to the subreddit Instagram Reality.
With a community of 1.2 million members, this subreddit is dedicated to exposing heavily edited photos, showing just how unrealistic some online images can be. It’s a reminder that there’s always more beneath the surface.
