One shot. Not forty. OneCut coaches your angle while you shoot, so you get it right the first time — then you lightly retouch only what you need before saving. Everything happens on your phone; your photos are never sent to a server. ■ Before & after, in one tap - When a better angle makes the difference, OneCut catches the moment and turns it into a short video and a comparison card - Post it straight to social media with one tap ■ See your angle as a score - A live score shows how well your angle, level, lighting and framing line up - It coaches one thing at a time — the one that's off right now - When the score climbs high enough, the shutter fires itself. Just hold the pose ■ Save your angle, find it again - Save an angle that worked as My Pose, and OneCut guides you back to it next time - The more shots you keep, the more the target angle moves toward yours - Every pose keeps your personal best — you compete with yesterday's you, no one else ■ Minimal retouching - Fine-tune five facial features — face size, jawline, eyes, nose, lips — only as much as you want - Adjust lip color and skin texture gently, just to taste - Press and hold to compare with the original — check whether the retouching shows ■ Full quality, kept - Always saves at original resolution; your original photo stays untouched - Re-adjust as many times as you like with no quality loss ■ Minimal noise - No watermark on your photos - Shooting, the five-axis retouch, saving and sharing are free — and stay free - OneCut Premium opens what's newly added, including four new shooting filters (Flash, Pink, Cream, Morning) and My looks, which saves a retouch you like so you can apply it to your next photo in one tap. It also hides the home screen banner - With Premium you can also turn off the small watermark on before & after videos ■ Your photos stay on your phone - 100% on-device processing — no sign-up, no photo uploads For anyone who'd rather fix the angle than fix the photo. ■ Premium subscription - ¥480/month (1-week free trial), ¥2,900/year (1-month free trial), or ¥4,900 once. Prices vary by region - Free trials are for first-time subscribers only - Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
