Face Retouch

A talking-head channel puts your face on screen more than any model's, and the PFP, the thumbnail and the sponsor deck all start from a phone photo taken in bad light. Face Retouch is the fix that does not overdo it. It smooths skin while preserving texture and pores, removes temporary blemishes but keeps permanent features like moles and freckles, softens under-eye shadows without erasing them, brightens and sharpens the eyes with catch lights intact, evens out skin tone, reduces flyaway hair, and balances exposure and contrast. The brief inside the tool is to keep the edits invisible.

There are no sliders because the point is restraint. Upload the photo, run, and compare with the Original toggle on the canvas. The output keeps the aspect ratio and everything outside the face — background, clothes, hands — untouched. It handles group photos too, applying the same natural treatment to every face in frame, which is useful for podcast co-host shots and collab announcements.

Retouch is a good first step before the other face tools. A retouched selfie into Profile Picture Maker gives a cleaner Clean professional PFP; into YouTube Thumbnail Maker it gives a sharper cut-out; into Creator Brand Photos it gives the tool a better reference. It is 4 credits at Standard, and Pro is worth it for photos that will be printed or shown large. If you want a stronger, more stylized edit, Edit With Words takes instructions like 'add soft studio lighting'.
