Photo Editor Filters Studio helps people edit photos, retouch portraits, and create ready-to-share images on iPhone. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Run Magic Touch for a one-tap retouch that smooths skin, brightens eyes, softens the background, and lets you dial the look up or down before you keep it. - Try 24 built-in filters plus Original, with looks like Golden Hour, Cine Cool, Studio Glow, Classic B&W, and Film Grain, then blend each filter to the strength you want. - Fine-tune your photo with Adjust controls for Exposure, Contrast, Saturation, Warmth, Sharpness, and Vignette, with quick reset options when you want to start over. - Use Beauty tools including Skin Smooth, Eye Brighten, Teeth Whiten, and Slim or Contour for light portrait cleanup that still looks like you. - Remove the background with Cutout, then place your subject on a color backdrop or keep the photo background and add blur with adjustable edge softness. - Crop for 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9, or Original, then rotate, flip, or straighten your shot before saving. - Add stickers, place text with color, shadow, glow, and spacing controls, or build a collage with 2-photo layouts.
