Natural Face Retouch

Features
Read full description

Subtle is the photo retouch app that refuses to make you look like someone else. Every slider physically stops at 30%. That's the maximum effort our engine will ever apply. What Subtle does: - Softens pores, blemishes, and shine — quietly - Lifts the skin tone, just a touch - Adds a whisper of blush to the cheeks - Subtle highlight on the bridge of the nose and forehead - Softens under-eye shadows - Eight skin-tone LUTs (Light / Asian / Deep / Latin / South Asian / Middle Eastern / Mixed / Grey) What Subtle won't do: - Reshape your face (no slim-face, big-eye, narrow-nose) - Body retouch - AI age, gender, or hairstyle swap - Send your photo to a server (everything is on-device) ML Kit face detection makes the corrections land precisely on your skin — never on your eyes, lips, hair, or the background. Premium unlocks: - Four professional presets (Business Headshot, Date Night, Senior, Men's Subtle) - 4K saves at full resolution - No banner ads, no interstitials All eight multi-race skin tones are included. For everyone who wants to keep looking like themselves. Terms of Use (EULA): https://show-ec09e.web.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://show-ec09e.web.app/privacy.html

Undownloaded images are deleted 30 days after they are created, so download yours before then. REPORT ANYTHING WRONG If a result is offensive or inappropriate, report it from the image in a tap and we will review it.
