See it. Feel it. Smize it. You took forty shots. Two of them are the ones. Smize finds them — and makes them post-ready without turning you into someone else. Upload up to 20 photos. Smize reads every frame the way a casting director would: eye contact, expression, light on the face, framing, the small things you can't see in the moment. It surfaces your two strongest looks, ranks the rest, and lightly enhances the winners. Every plan includes the full experience — scoring, coaching, retouching, and exports. Free users get 2 polished keepers per week. Paid plans unlock more volume: up to 50 keepers a week (subscription required, see Plans · Pricing inside the app). Real, not filtered. Every enhanced photo carries a Real badge that shows exactly how honest the edit is — skin texture preserved, color barely shifted. Smize never crosses into beauty-filter territory. The person in the photo is still you. Know why it wins. A Smize Score and a clear breakdown — Confidence, Power, Allure, Mystery, Authenticity — plus a coach's read on why this shot beat the others, and one tip for next time. Form Coach. See what the camera read: posture, expression, lighting, and setting — with cues to try on your next shoot. No jargon, no judgment. Built for every feed. Export each pick in the exact ratio you need — 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 — cropped smartly around the face. One photo, every platform. You're still the director. Disagree with the pick? Curate manually and Smize enhances your call instead. Private by design. Originals are deleted after 1 day, enhanced photos after 7. We never log your image data. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Your gaze. Your power. Smize. Because your look says it all. Terms of Service: https://smize.app/terms | Privacy Policy: https://smize.app/privacy
