Frequently Asked Questions

For specific face effects like aging, gender swap, and smile addition, FaceApp's dedicated filters are faster and more polished. EditThisPic can do face edits through text descriptions, but its real advantage is handling everything FaceApp can't — background removal, object removal, lighting fixes, full scene editing, and photo restoration. Most users benefit from having both.
EditThisPic offers a free tier with no watermark and no account required. FaceApp's free tier adds a watermark and limits filter access, requiring a $4.99/month subscription for full features. EditThisPic also offers pay-as-you-go packs if you need more edits.
Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox. No app download needed. You get the same full editing capabilities on mobile as on desktop. FaceApp requires downloading a native app.
FaceApp is a native mobile app that uses on-device processing for some filters. EditThisPic runs in the browser and processes edits via AI in the cloud, so no app installation is needed. Both approaches work, but browser-based means no storage taken and instant access.
EditThisPic requires no account, no app permissions, and no access to your photo library. You manually upload only the photos you want to edit. FaceApp requires app installation with photo library access and uploads images to their servers.
Absolutely. Use FaceApp for its specialty — face aging filters, gender swap, and smile effects. Use EditThisPic for everything else — removing objects, changing backgrounds, fixing lighting, restoring photos. They complement each other well.
