How to Retouch a Face Online with AI

Start with your own photo and a clear request. The comparisons above are AI-generated illustrations of retouching goals; actual results vary.

Upload a Clear Portrait

Use a well-lit photo with a clearly visible face. Tell our AI face retouch tool what to change, such as a temporary blemish, and what to keep, such as freckles or facial hair.

Generate a Light Retouch

Sign in and submit your request. Choose an available image model or let Mew Auto select one for your photo and editing needs. Generation uses credits.

Compare and Refine

Compare the result with your original. Click Chat Edit to request a lighter touch, restore texture, or adjust one area. Check face shape, eyes, and skin tone after each edit.

Download Your Portrait

Export the result as PNG or JPG without a watermark. Check the face at full size and in the intended profile crop before sharing.

AI Portrait Retouching for Natural-Looking Photos

Reduce Blemishes, Dark Circles, and Shine

Use AI portrait retouching for a specific request: reduce a spot, soften dark circles, or tone down forehead shine. Describe the area instead of applying the same change to the whole face.

Retouch Skin with Your Natural Features in Mind

Ask to retain freckles, pores, smile lines, and your original skin tone. These instructions guide the edit; compare the result with the source to check that it still looks like you.

Refine the Edit in Conversation

If the skin looks too smooth, ask Chat Edit for less smoothing and more visible texture. Make a focused adjustment while asking to keep the rest of the portrait unchanged.

Choose a Model for Your Photo

Select a preferred image model or use Mew Auto to match your request to a suitable option. Mew Design offers the latest leading image models and adds new releases to the same workspace.

Retouch Headshots for LinkedIn and Portfolios

Retouch a headshot for a team page, portfolio, or social profile. For a coordinated LinkedIn profile, pair the portrait with a design from our AI LinkedIn banner generator.

How to Smooth Skin Without Losing Texture

Retouch this uploaded headshot lightly. Reduce the temporary spots on my chin and soften under-eye shadows. Keep pores, freckles, smile lines, skin tone, face shape, and expression. Leave the hair, clothing, and background unchanged.

👍

Natural skin retouching starts with a clear source and a small, specific change. Keep the original so you can compare the result.

Start with Detail: Upload the original photo rather than a compressed screenshot. Avoid heavy beauty filters that have already removed texture.
Separate Marks from Features: Name temporary spots you want reduced and freckles, moles, or lines you want preserved.
Check at Full Size: Look for waxy skin, changed eyelids, altered teeth, or mismatched skin tone between face and neck.
Reduce the Edit When Needed: If the result feels overdone, request a lighter retouch using the original as a reference. Review again before exporting.

You can start with free AI credits after signing up. Generating and revising images uses credits, so this is a limited free trial rather than unlimited free retouching. Exports are watermark-free.

Yes. Upload your photo in Mew Design, describe the changes, and review the result in your browser. Use Chat Edit for further refinements.

AI edits can alter details. Ask to preserve facial proportions, expression, age, and skin tone. Compare with the original and request a lighter edit if your features drift; identical preservation is not guaranteed.

You can request spot reduction, softer under-eye shadows, less shine, or a more even-looking complexion in your photo. Specify the area and ask to retain skin texture. Results depend on the source and selected model.

Start with the sharpest original available. Retouching cannot reliably recover facial details that are missing, and AI may invent them. A clear, unfiltered photo is a better starting point for a recognizable result.

Face retouching starts with an existing photograph and adjusts selected details. Portrait generation creates a new image. For a light touch-up, upload your photo and explicitly ask to keep the composition and identity.

Yes. Export your portrait as PNG or JPG without a watermark. Review the available export settings and final image dimensions for your intended use.

You can upload a group photo and identify the person and area to edit. Small or obscured faces are harder to assess. Review every face afterwards; do not assume that one request will affect everyone equally.

Ask for light skin smoothing in specific areas while retaining pores, freckles, and fine lines. Start with a clear, unfiltered original and compare the result at full size. If the skin looks waxy, use Chat Edit to request less smoothing with the original as a reference.
