Tired of being photobombed? Thinking about getting rid of some imperfections in the background of the photo but don’t know how? Need to erase unwanted objects from your pictures to get them just right? All these annoying things shouldn’t be a problem anymore with our AI-driven photo editor. RetouchAI is that magic button that will help you easily transform poorly taken photos into the ones you actually deserve. User-friendly interface, comprehensible functionality, the capability to remove imperfections in “one-click” are features that RetouchAI offers for you, specifically: • People auto-detection RetouchAI offers you highly convenient tools to identify strangers and crowd. The editor will precisely auto-detect the borders and highlight them for further auto removal. You just need to single them out in one tap • Imperfections removal • Lines removal • Blemish removal The app declutters photo imperfections and retouches them in an extremely simplified, yet smart way. The editor makes sure that the chosen area is erased without the photo distortion and is repaired appropriately. • Multiple retouch algorithms Once you select a particular area in your photo that needs to be restored, the app will offer you multiple variants. You may choose the one that looks the most natural and will be the best fit. • Background edit With the RetouchAI photo editor background replacement feature, you can cut out the existing background of your photo easily and replace it with one of the templates from the gallery. In case you don’t want to change the background, the app provides you with the convenient functionality to blur the background to the required extent. • Efficient clone stamp tool When you erase certain objects from the photo, the editor needs to restore the marked area with correctly chosen colors. This is done via the clone stamp tool that uses the surrounding area as a context to restore the photo precisely. • Teeth whitening The tool allows you to whiten your teeth and make your smile even more fabulous than it is now. Everything is simple: select the necessary area, adjust the intensity of the brush, and boom, everything is ready. Explore a natural teeth whitening feature now. • Stretching Allows you to modify the selected area both vertically and horizontally. It's no longer a problem to increase your height, enlarge your hips, or adjust anything else. You just need to choose the place you need to stretch and modify it to the extent you want. • Helpful tooltips & friendly support Despite being rather intuitively obvious, the app has numerous embedded tooltips that pop up once you start using the photo editor. All the tooltips were designed to make your photo editing process seamless and pleasant so that you say goodbye to sophisticated interfaces, confusing buttons, and annoying welcome tutorials.
