AI photo retouching that still looks like you

No. The tool is built for the opposite. It keeps pores, fine lines, freckles, moles, scars, stubble, grey hair, and natural asymmetry, and it is explicitly told not to airbrush or create waxy, poreless skin. It removes only what a retoucher would: temporary blemishes, shine, stray hairs, lint, glare, and colour problems.

No. Identity is the first rule of the retouch contract: facial structure, head pose, gaze, eye shape and colour, eyebrows, hairstyle and hairline, apparent age, skin tone, and expression are all preserved. Nothing is slimmed, lifted, enlarged, or de-aged, and a double chin is softened only if you explicitly ask, through light and shadow rather than by changing the jaw.

Temporary blemishes and redness, oily shine and flash hot spots, under-eye darkness or puffiness, stray and flyaway hairs at the edge of the hairstyle, glare on glasses, lint, dust, crumbs and smudges, and an unflattering colour cast or uneven exposure. Left alone: pores, wrinkles, freckles, moles, scars, birthmarks, stubble, grey hair, the shape of every feature, and the background.

Yes. Complexion is treated faithfully on every skin tone. The tool is told never to lighten, whiten, darken, or homogenise skin, to keep every complexion exactly as light or as dark as the upload, and never to change eye colour. Image models still tend to lift deeper skin tones a little, so if that matters to you, start the direction with “keep my skin tone exactly as it is”, as the headshot example on this page did.

Yes, where the eyes and the lens shapes are still visible behind the reflection. The glare is reduced so the eyes read clearly; eye detail is never invented. If a reflection completely covers an eye, that lens is left largely as it is rather than guessed.

A beauty filter smooths everything and reshapes faces towards one look. An AI headshot generator creates a new picture of you. This tool returns your actual photo, same frame, same moment, same face, with only the temporary flaws corrected. If you want a new portrait rather than a cleaned-up one, use the AI portrait generator instead.

Yes, but keep it to the retouching vocabulary: shine, blemishes, under-eye circles, stray hairs, glare, colour cast, lint. “Soften the breakout but keep my freckles” works. “Make me look ten years younger” or “slim my face” is ignored, because those changes are outside what the tool is allowed to do.

The same rules apply to everyone in the frame. Each face is retouched to the same restrained standard, so nobody is skipped and nobody is polished more than the person next to them. The wedding example on this page has five people in it.

Sharp, reasonably lit photos where the faces are a good size in the frame. Phone photos are fine; every example on this page is one. Very small, heavily compressed, or badly blurred faces give weaker results because there is little real texture to keep.

Usually one to two minutes. The photo is processed by GPT Image 2 by default, which is slower than a one-click filter but much more careful about identity and texture. You can keep working; the result appears in your library.

Yes. Retouched photos are yours to use for profiles, websites, listings, client galleries, and print under the Typeshutter terms of service. Make sure you have the rights to the photo you upload, and that the people in it are happy to be retouched.

New accounts receive trial credits that cover a first retouch. After that, each photo is priced by the selected model and resolution and deducted from your credit balance when you create it. There is no watermark on any tier.
