Key Features
Natural skin, not plastic
The tool smooths visible texture, blemishes, and shine without flattening the whole face. That matters because over-retouched portraits look fake fast, especially in close-up shots. Our AI keeps pores, contours, and facial definition believable so the final image still reads as a real photo. You get a cleaner portrait without the waxy finish common in one-tap beauty filters.
Keeps identity intact
Skin retouching should not change who the person is. This feature edits surface-level distractions while leaving face shape, eyes, smile lines, and expression in place. That makes it useful for headshots, dating photos, and client work where recognition matters. You save time compared with manual brushwork and avoid edits that accidentally reshape the subject.
Works across lighting conditions
Portraits are rarely taken in perfect studio light. The tool handles window light, harsh sun, indoor bulbs, and moody evening scenes while keeping the skin edit consistent with the original image. That means you do not need separate workflows for every photo set. It is faster than manually masking highlights and shadows on each face.
Stylized retouch when needed
Sometimes you want more than a realistic cleanup. This feature lets you combine skin retouch with a strong visual style for campaign mockups, moodboards, and social content. The subject stays recognizable while the final image takes on a clear artistic finish. It is a fast way to test looks without rebuilding the photo from scratch.
How It Works
Upload your portrait
Start with a clear photo where the face is easy to see. Well-lit portraits give the AI more detail to work with and make the retouch look cleaner.
Describe the retouch
Tell the AI what to change, such as smoother skin, fewer blemishes, less shine, or softer under-eyes. Keep the request direct so the result matches what you want.
Compare and refine
Review the before and after side by side. If you want a stronger or lighter result, adjust the prompt and run another version.
