Common Issues

The correction looks unnatural or overdone

Why: AI sometimes over-corrects, making changes too obvious

Try: make the correction more subtle and natural β€” it should look like a better photo, not an edit

'Subtle and natural' is the most important phrase for appearance fixes

Fix changed my face too much β€” doesn't look like me

Why: Aggressive edits can alter facial proportions and identity

Try: keep my face exactly the same, only fix the specific issue I mentioned

Be very specific about what to change and explicitly state what to keep

The edit looks obvious in comparison to the original

Why: Strong local edits can create visible transitions with surrounding areas

Try: blend the edited area smoothly with the surrounding skin and features

Good blending is key β€” AI handles this well with explicit instructions

Lighting changed after the correction

Why: Localized edits can alter the apparent lighting on the face

Try: match the lighting on the corrected area to the rest of the photo

Mention 'consistent lighting' to ensure the edit doesn't create new artifacts

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can I smile naturally in person but not for the camera?

Self-consciousness. When a camera appears, your brain switches from spontaneous expression to deliberate posing. The conscious effort to smile overrides the natural muscle patterns that create genuine smiles. It's a universal human experience.

Will the fix look obviously edited?

No. The adjustments are subtle β€” slightly relaxed mouth muscles, gentle eye crinkle, small expression changes. It looks like the photo caught you at a better moment, not like AI changed your face.

Can this fix a closed-mouth forced smile?

Yes. Whether teeth-showing or closed-mouth, the AI can adjust the expression to look more relaxed and genuine. Try 'make my closed-mouth smile look warm and natural.'

What about fixing someone else's smile in a group photo?

Tap a marker on their face and specify 'make this person's smile look more natural.' Works without affecting others in the photo.

Can I change a frown to a smile?

That's a bigger change but yes β€” try 'change my expression to a gentle, natural smile.' Results vary depending on the original expression.

Is this really free?

Yes β€” 1 free edit per week, no account needed. Plans start at $3.99/month for unlimited.
