How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Clear portraits with good lighting work best. Close-up headshots and upper body shots both produce great retouching results.

Expect: Basic retouching (skin smoothing): 30-40 seconds. Full face retouching (multiple areas): 45-60 seconds and may need refinements.
Describe the retouching you want

Type what you want: 'retouch the face to smooth skin and reduce blemishes' or 'even out skin tone and soften dark spots under the eyes.' Be specific about which imperfections to fix. No marking needed—the AI understands facial features and skin areas.

Tip: Mention 'natural' or 'subtle' to avoid over-retouching. The AI keeps pores and texture when you ask for a natural look.

Review the retouching

Check that skin looks smooth but still natural. Zoom in on key areas—forehead, cheeks, under eyes, and jawline. Verify that pores and natural texture remain visible and the result doesn't look plastic.
Refine with markers if needed

If specific spots like a stubborn blemish or uneven area need extra work, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most face retouching works perfectly on the first try without any markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which facial area you meant from description alone. This happens when multiple issues are present and you only want one fixed.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific blemish or area you want retouched, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS spot specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Face looks plastic or over-retouched

Why: The AI applied too much smoothing, removing natural skin texture like pores and fine lines that make a face look real.

Try: retouch the face subtly - smooth blemishes but keep natural skin texture, pores, and fine lines visible

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'subtle' and 'keep natural texture' explicitly prevents the plastic look.

Retouching looks uneven across the face

Why: Different lighting conditions across the face caused the AI to apply inconsistent smoothing—more on highlights, less on shadows.

Try: retouch the face evenly across all areas including shadows, maintain consistent smoothing from forehead to chin

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning 'evenly across all areas' tells the AI to balance the retouching regardless of lighting variation.

Eyes or eyebrows look blurred after retouching

Why: The AI's smoothing accidentally affected sharp features near the skin areas being retouched.

Try: retouch only the skin - keep eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips completely sharp and untouched

Try This →

Tip: Specifying which features to preserve helps the AI limit retouching to skin areas only.

Skin tone changed or looks ashy after retouching

Why: The smoothing algorithm altered the color values while blending, shifting the overall skin tone.

Try: retouch the face to smooth skin while preserving the exact original skin tone and color warmth

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'preserve original skin tone' ensures color stays true while texture is smoothed.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark blemishes before describing the retouching I want?

No! Just describe what you want: 'retouch the face to smooth skin and reduce blemishes.' The AI understands facial features and automatically identifies areas to retouch. Only use markers when you need to target a specific spot—like one stubborn blemish the AI missed on the first try.

How do I retouch a face in a photo without making it look fake?

Include 'natural' or 'subtle' in your prompt: 'retouch the face naturally, smooth blemishes but keep skin texture visible.' This tells the AI to preserve pores, fine lines, and natural shadows while reducing imperfections. The result looks polished but still real—not plastic or airbrushed.

Is there a free AI face retoucher that doesn't require login?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your portrait, describe the retouching you want, and download the result. No watermarks on outputs. Works for blemish removal, skin smoothing, and full face retouching without any commitment.
