There is no shame in improving your photos – both amateur and professional photographers do it. Changing the lighting, simple effects or a little retouching can make a big difference in the end. Since not everyone knows how to use Photoshop, it is better to use one of the automated web applications that will do all the work for you.
No matter how bad your images are, these services will automatically adjust saturation, sharpness, and more. Just upload the desired photo to one of the services and the platform will automatically fix the most common problems in less than a minute.
PinkMirror: Improve Your Selfie in One Click
Unlike other apps discussed in this article, PinkMirror works exclusively with faces. If you want to improve your selfies, this is the site to check out first.
Once you upload the image, you will need to mark the special masking points that the program will suggest. After that, PinkMirror will launch a series of filters, including lip augmentation, skin smoothing, teeth whitening, red-eye reduction, etc. Next, you can go to the settings to choose the level of improvements, and then compare the image before and after.
Once you've finished editing, you can download the image, but there will be a PinkMirror watermark in the lower left corner. You'll have to pay for a photo without watermarks, but if you manage to crop them, you'll get a great avatar for social networks. One interesting feature is the face analysis function, which costs $10. It will show the level of attractiveness on a 100-point scale in different parts of the planet (America, Europe, Africa, Asia). After all, beauty is assessed differently everywhere.
Improve Photo: Remove Freckles and Pimples
All the listed services for improving photos in one click work on the same principle. The only difference is the quality they allow you to achieve. Unlike other editors, Improve Photo Provides two upgrade options to choose from.
Here's a good example. Imagine a photo with the brightness increased by 75 percent in one click. Now imagine a similar image, but the brightness is increased by 45 percent. If you can compare both photos, choosing the one that looks better (considering the original) will be very easy. This is exactly what Improve Photo allows you to do.
This feature will be useful for those who do not want to get too perfect images without the slightest defects. For example, you do not want to remove freckles, otherwise you will not look like yourself. Despite this, many automatic photo editors will remove them from your skin, but Improve Photo will leave them on the first option, and remove them on the second. Then you can compare strongly and moderately retouched options and choose the one you like more.
Let's Enhance: Enlarge Photos Without Losing Quality
Service Let's Enhance can do real miracles. If you have a small photo and want to enlarge it, it can do it without "noise" or pixelation. In the free version, the resolution can be increased 4 times, for example, from 640×480 to 2560×1920 pixels, and in the paid version, 16 times without losing quality.
The magic happens with the help of Let's Enhance's artificial intelligence. The app analyzes the photo and determines what is in it, then increases the size and resolution without loss. The secret is that it adds the necessary pixels to the details of the image so that it becomes clear.
Let's Enhance has a limit on the number of photos you can upload (up to 4), as the server can only process a certain number of photos. You will need to wait a couple of minutes to receive the modified images.
Faces are an extremely important part of any image that is difficult to recreate, but the service has its own AI for facial reconstruction that does a great job.
Fotor: do makeup
Fotor is known as one of the editors for applying Instagram-style filters (banned in the Russian Federation; belongs to a corporation that is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation), but there's still plenty more to discover. This online photo editing app now has a handy "One Tap Enhance" button that lets you quickly enhance your photos.
You can upload photos from your hard drive, via Dropbox, or by providing a link to an image online. Once the photo has been enhanced with one click, press and hold the Compare button to see the before and after image. This is a good way to see which of the two photos you like better.
Fotor offers many other tools to liven up your photos. For example, in the Beauty section you can remove wrinkles, add blush, whiten teeth or use a cosmetic pencil for your eyes and eyebrows. Experiment with the options in the Basic and Fine-Tune sections with settings such as brightness and exposure. After that, you can try other features, but in most cases the One Tap Enhance button is enough.
Enhance Pho.to: Increase brightness
Like other one-click editors, Enhance Photo. does its job perfectly. But, unlike the others, it offers something that the others do not – independent adjustment. Options include removing defects most typical of unsuccessful photos:
- lighting correction,
- blurriness,
- color temperature,
- saturation adjustment,
- eliminating "noise"
- Removing the red eye effect.
That is, before you apply the one-click edit, you can select or deselect any of these options. By default, Pho.to analyzes your images and suggests the best filters, but even then you have a choice. For example, red-eye removal sometimes changes their appearance too much, so you can skip this filter.
Again, you can compare the images before and after editing and download it when you are done.
