## What is Unify?

People blink. Smiles Fade. Create group pics everyone likes.

Unify is the first and only photo editor that detects the best parts of your Apple Live Photos to create pics where everyone looks good. 

Fix the blink problem in group pics and selfies.

Look, the future is bright and we're blinking all the time... (or maybe just me?)

Try Unify for free. 

----------

To be as clear as possible: ***we do not save any facial detection or facial identification data on your device, in the cloud, nor do we share it with any third parties.***

Privacy is important to us. All your data belongs to you. 

Your photos are never sent to our servers for processing. Real talk: we don't even have servers. 

Unify has all the magic built-in to combine faces from different frames into the perfect group pic that wouldn't exist otherwise. 

We harness Apple's first-class Vision AI (which is built into iOS), along with Unify's Visual Mesh technology. Faces are detected right on your device and your images stay secure on your iPhone. While we can detect a face (most of the time), we can't tell who it is or anything else. All we can determine is where that face is within that picture. 

We don't save face data for future use or send it anywhere. It only gets used on your iPhone to create perfect photos that didn't exist.

----------

In case you forgot, Apple's Live Photos have included about 3 seconds of video for the past several years. Rather than settling for an alright pic, Unify allows you to combine the best parts of Live Photos to create a pic that didn't exist before. A pic where everyone looks their best.

### 3/5 — A little disappointed

*2025-11-17*

Technically I guess it does what it says, but I would really like to be able to choose whichever frame I want for each face. I find that the ai does not actually choose the best frame then when I go back to edit and choose a different frame for a face it says it’s too angled. This is a silly limitation. I just want to be able to choose whichever face I want for the end result.

### 1/5 — Only LIVE photos

*2025-04-18*

What’s the point? Live automatically chooses the best shot. We need this for multiple pictures not one Live picture.

### 1/5 — ONLY works with IOS “Live Photos”…not multiple static shots, not video

*2024-04-29*

Useless for real photo shoots made with a real camera by a real photographer.

### 1/5 — No one time purchase

*2019-12-05*

Limited paying option. It should allow for a one time purchase.

### 5/5 — A savior of photos!

*2019-11-12*

It’s not the first time I end up with a Live Photo that the end is blurry.... but now thanks to Unify I can save those photos to end up in a clear frame! Definitely a savior!

### 5/5 — Praise for transparency

*2019-11-06*

Do you know how many apps are obtuse concerning the in-app purchases? What, if anything can be done with the free version? I've tried to do side by side comparisons of "lite" 🙄 (can you just call it free or shrunken? Maybe 1/2 or 1/4?) and Pro and can't always tell the difference in features or what, if anything I can do with the Tiny Version. I applaud the clarity.

I rarely photograph people but since it's my goal to get more comfortable doing so I'll see how this functions, now that I know they're ethical.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2019-11-05*

I love the concept and how easy it is to use.
