Fotor Photo Retouching

Fotor's photo retouching covers the fixes people want on portraits. An AI blemish remover detects and erases acne and spots automatically. A wrinkle remover and skin smoothing aim to clean skin while keeping its texture, and a brush-based teeth whitener lets you set where and how strongly it applies. Face editing extends into reshaping. Retouched photos continue into the rest of Fotor's editor for cropping, color and design.

It works on the web and in Fotor's Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android apps. The core retouch tools are free. The AI-heavier features cost credits, and new accounts do not get free ones. Credits are earned in Fotor's Rewards Center or bought with a subscription.

Fotor's retouching fits everyday portrait cleanup. Use it if:

• You want blemishes or spots gone from a photo before posting or printing it.
• A portrait needs gentle skin smoothing that stops short of the airbrushed look.
• You want a whiter smile with control over where and how strongly it applies.
• You retouch occasionally and want free browser tools instead of software.
• The retouch is step one: you will crop, color or design with the photo afterward in the same editor.

Skip it if any of these describe you:

• You retouch professionally: client portraits, magazine work, frequency separation. That is Adobe Photoshop work, or work for a dedicated photo retouching tool.
• You retouch whole shoots of people. Fotor's bulk skin retouch covers skin on up to 50 images and needs a paid plan. Evoto edits every face in a shoot individually.
• You want one-tap full-face beautification on your phone. A phone app from the fun AI face tools list does it with a single filter.
• The photo's problem is quality, not the face: blur, noise, resolution. Use a photo enhancer first.
