The Kardashian-Jenner family is often the topic of discussion in tabloids. If it isn't their personal lives, their social media feeds come under scrutiny. Khloé, Kim, and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family have often been called out for manipulating their social media photos for years. 'The Kardashians' stars have been caught 'modifying' their faces and bodies with photo editing software. So in some cases, their provocative bikini shots or even family group portraits can look weird when over-edited. Here are some of the most well-known Kardashian-Jenner clan's "photoshop fails."

Khloe Kardashian's 'photoshopped' thumb

In 2019, Khloé posted a photo on her Instagram that sparked a huge debate only because of her left thumb. It appears to have been copy-pasted with the 'second thumb' hidden underneath the original. Khloé defended herself in the comments, claiming that the look was caused by an editing app.

Kylie Jenner's 'crooked' curtains or waist?

When Kylie Jenner shared the photo in 2017, many noted that the curtain appeared to curl and flex as if the image was being pushed out to make her waist appear smaller. Jenner went on social media to 'clarify' that her curtains are simply "crooked."

What's wrong with Kourtney Kardashian's arm?

The Kardashian sisters were all wearing Calvin Klein clothing in a new commercial in August 2018. The image's numerous elements, such as Kendall's full outfit and her peculiar position drew scrutiny. The biggest puzzle, though, was Kourtney's right forearm, which was covered by Kim Kardashian. It seems considerably too small in the image. Was photo editing to blame again? Or were the sisters shot separately and then photoshopped together?

Kris Jenner and the wonky wood

Mama Kris also has joined the 'photoshop fails' club with her daughters. Many people immediately pointed out the misaligned wood underneath her arm when she tweeted this picture promoting a new weight loss tea.

Kim Kardashian's 'curvy' mirror selfie

Kim Kardashian kicked off 2020 with a bang when she shared this selfie. She posed for the photo while wearing a skin-tight metallic little skirt, a beige crop top, and stiletto heels in front of a mirror. The image's center and right side look to be curved, for example, the door frame has a very pronounced curve to it.

The 'long-handed' Kendall Jenner

In February 2023, Kendall made history online with what is arguably one of the most famous of all the Kardashian-Jenner photoshop fails. The supermodel's hand appeared unnaturally long in what was supposed to be a sensual bikini photo. Even Kim mocked the "long handed @kendalljenner" in one of her own Instagram posts.

Kim Kardashian's missing belly button

Kim tweeted a poolside picture in April 2022 while wearing a brand-new Skims outfit. And one follower asked, "You forgot to leave in your bellybutton!" while another questioned, "Where on earth is your belly button, yo??" Kim refuted the claims by posting a brief video from the photo shoot to her Instagram Story with the caption, "Come on guys… Seriously! This is so dumb! Claiming I photoshopped out my belly button????"

Kendall Jenner's long legs got longer

In June, Kendall Jenner was slammed for using photoshop to alter a picture of herself with Kourtney Kardashian, Simi Khadra, and Jordyn Woods. The four women were pictured holding water cannons while donning sunglasses. Although it's possible that the perspective of the photo was the cause, Jenner's legs do appear to be excessively long.
