Natural photo retouch

Better light on your face, in the photo you already have

What changes

Softer shadows
Hard shadows from the sun or a ceiling lamp become softer, so your features are easy to read.
A little brighter
Flat, dim phone light gets a gentle lift. The background and the pose stay as they are.
The same skin tone
Brighter light does not mean paler skin. Your undertone stays, and darker skin is not made paler: every result is measured against your original.

We never change

  • Your face shape or features
  • Your body or its shape
  • Your age
  • Your skin tone
  • Your eye colour
  • Your beard, freckles or hair

Your face shape, skin tone and eye colour stay yours in every result. If one ever looks like someone else, report it from the result screen.

For the best result

  • Face the light when you can

    A window in front of you works better than a lamp above you. The retouch improves the light that is in the photo; it does not add a new one.

  • Avoid a bright window behind you

    Your face is then mostly in shadow. Turn around, and the retouch has more to work with.

  • Only the light

    On Creator and Pro, Light only improves the light and leaves your skin exactly as it is.

Questions

Can it fix a very dark photo?
It makes light softer and a little brighter. It does not turn night into day: a face that is nearly black in the photo has too little detail left to bring back.
Does it change the background?
No. The same background, the same pose, the same framing. Only the light gets softer and a little brighter.
Does it also smooth my skin?
Yes. A normal retouch does skin, light and eyes together. On Creator and Pro you can choose Light only, which leaves your skin untouched.
What does it cost after the free ones?
Plus is €4.99 a month for 40 retouches, Creator €11.99 for 120 and Pro €24.99 for 300. Or buy a pack without a subscription. There is no weekly plan and no trial that turns into a charge.

Try it on your own photo. The first 3 are free.
