Remove objects & people from photos easily with this ai retouch app. Erase backgrounds of a photo and save as transparent with just one tap. Fix your blemishes also with advanced one-tap-retouch feature. Features Remove Object: Tap or brush away tourists, wires, or stains. Quick Mode erases with AI; Brush & Lasso gives precise control. Clone Stamp: Sample any clean patch and paint over distractions. Edge-aware blending matches texture, light, and perspective. AI Retouch: One swipe zaps blemishes, smooths skin, sharpens eyes, adds a natural glow, and whitens teeth while preserving pores. Replace Background: Auto-cut subjects and drop them onto built-in scenes, your own images, or transparent PNGs for pro-grade product shots. Background Blur: Pop subjects with DSLR-style depth—Gaussian, Motion, Bokeh, Hexagon, Disc, and more—and adjust focus and strength in real time. Photo Overlay & Double Exposure: Layer textures, designer frames, or a second image, then fine-tune opacity and blend modes for instant magazine vibes. Stylish Portrait: Soft-focus backgrounds, polish facial details, and apply studio color toning for a cover-ready finish. Sky Changer: Auto-detect the horizon and swap gray skies for golden sunsets, auroras, or storm clouds with natural color matching and crisp edges. Photo Blending: AI isolates your subject and fuses it with artistic overlays; refine with manual brush and eraser for cinematic double exposures. Dripping Portrait: Melt edges into flowing paint drips; pick preset shapes or draw your own, then adjust length, direction, and gradients. Spiral Effects: Wrap subjects in neon coils, glitter ribbons, or dotted trails. Tweak thickness, color, and rotation for instant 3-D pop. This app includes advertisement.
