FaceApp

What is FaceApp?

FaceApp is a mobile photo editor that retouches and transforms portraits. The vendor describes it as a perfect face editor with natural beauty and flawless edits, and says it has over 1 billion installs. It runs on iOS through the App Store and on Android through Google Play.

Key capabilities of FaceApp

• Retouch: removes small imperfections and evens out skin tone.
• Impression: applies a realistic makeover.
• Makeup: applies makeup looks.
• Hair Volume: adds volume to hair.
• Beard and hairstyle filters: changes facial hair and hairstyles.
• Emotion filters: changes facial expressions.
• Remover: removes unwanted people and objects.

How FaceApp works

You open a portrait in the mobile app, choose an effect such as retouch, makeup or a hairstyle filter, and the app applies it to the face with AI. You can compare the result with the original and save or share the edited image. The editing happens inside the app, and the vendor's blog covers individual tools such as the Remover.

Who uses FaceApp?

FaceApp is a consumer app for people who want to touch up selfies, try a new hairstyle or beard, or make playful edits. It is not a tool for professional retouching workflows or batch processing, and edited portraits should not be presented as unaltered.

FaceApp pricing

The vendor's home page does not mention pricing or subscription terms. Current pricing is shown inside the App Store and Google Play listings.

FaceApp alternatives

Facetune is a widely used selfie retouching app with a stronger focus on detailed skin and face adjustment tools. Clipdrop offers AI image tools such as background removal and relighting, which are general image tasks rather than face-focused edits. Canva Magic Media generates images from prompts inside Canva, which creates new images instead of editing a portrait.
