Remove Wrinkles from Photo
Reduce wrinkles and fine lines while keeping skin looking natural and realistic.
Type 'reduce the wrinkles while keeping natural skin texture' and EditThisPic's AI smooths lines in 15-30 seconds. Works on forehead lines, crow's feet, smile lines, and neck wrinkles. The AI softens age lines while preserving pores and skin character so results look real, not plastic. No airbrushing skills required. Free to try, no account needed.
How it works
Upload your photo
Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with headshots, portraits, selfies, or any photo where you want to reduce visible wrinkles and fine lines.
Describe the smoothing you want
Type your instruction: 'reduce the wrinkles while keeping natural skin texture' or 'soften the forehead lines and crow's feet naturally.' Be specific about intensity - 'subtle' for light touch, 'significant' for more smoothing. No marking needed - the AI recognizes wrinkle patterns.
Copy one of these to get started:
reduce the wrinkles and fine lines while keeping natural skin texture and pores visible
soften the horizontal forehead lines while keeping the rest of the face natural
reduce the crow's feet wrinkles around the eyes while preserving natural eye crinkles when smiling
subtly reduce the most prominent wrinkles for a refreshed but authentic appearance
3 more prompts
soften the deep lines from nose to mouth while keeping some natural depth for dimension
smooth the neck wrinkles and lines while maintaining realistic skin texture
significantly reduce wrinkles across the face while still keeping realistic skin with some texture
Generate and review
Check that wrinkles are reduced but the face still looks natural. Zoom in to verify skin texture is preserved - you should still see pores and subtle variations. The goal is refreshed, not retouched.
Refine with markers if needed
If certain areas need more or less smoothing, tap markers on those specific wrinkles and regenerate. This helps target deep lines that need extra attention while preserving expression lines you want to keep.

If something looks off
Skin looks too smooth or plastic
Why: The AI over-smoothed and removed natural skin texture along with wrinkles.
restore natural skin texture and pores while keeping the wrinkles reduced
💡 Always include 'natural texture' or 'keep pores visible' in your original prompt.
Face lost dimension and looks flat
Why: Too much smoothing removed the shadows and contours that give faces depth.
restore natural facial contours and dimension while keeping wrinkles softened
💡 Ask for 'subtle' reduction to preserve the natural shadows that create dimension.
Expression lines I wanted to keep were removed
Why: The AI removed all wrinkle-like lines including desirable expression lines.
restore the smile lines around the mouth while keeping forehead wrinkles reduced
💡 Specify which lines to keep: 'reduce forehead lines but preserve smile crinkles.'
Some deep wrinkles still very visible
Why: Very deep lines may need targeted attention beyond general smoothing.
Tap markers on the remaining deep lines, then regenerate with 'further smooth these specific wrinkles'
💡 Deep-set lines often need a second pass with marker-targeted refinement.
AI changed the wrong area or smoothed more than intended
Why: The AI interpreted the smoothing area too broadly.
Tap markers only on the specific wrinkles to address, then regenerate with the same prompt
💡 Markers constrain the AI to exactly the areas you indicate for precise control.
Quick answers
Do I need to mark the wrinkles before describing what to smooth?
No! Just describe what you want: 'reduce wrinkles while keeping natural skin texture.' The AI recognizes wrinkle patterns automatically. Only use markers when you want to target specific wrinkles for extra smoothing, or to protect expression lines you want to preserve from being smoothed.
How do I avoid the over-smoothed plastic look?
Always include 'natural texture' or 'keep pores visible' in your prompt. Use words like 'subtle', 'soften', or 'reduce' rather than 'remove' or 'eliminate'. The goal is refreshed skin, not retouched skin. Start conservative and smooth more if needed.
Can I control how much smoothing is applied?
Yes. Use intensity words in your prompt: 'subtly reduce' for minimal touch-up, 'moderately smooth' for balanced reduction, or 'significantly reduce' for more aggressive smoothing. You can always run a second pass for additional smoothing.
Will it work on deep wrinkles and fine lines equally?
Both respond well, but deep wrinkles may need more attention. Fine lines often smooth completely in one pass. Deep-set lines like nasolabial folds may need targeted marker refinement. Ask to 'soften' rather than 'remove' deep lines for natural results.
Can I keep some wrinkles that add character?
Absolutely. Specify which to keep: 'reduce forehead wrinkles but preserve the smile lines' or 'soften crow's feet but keep the character lines around the mouth.' Many people prefer keeping some lines that contribute to warmth and expression.
