FaceApp
What FaceApp is
FaceApp is a selfie and portrait editor for photos and videos on iOS and Android. One-tap filters are designed for realistic facial changes, from retouching to more creative transformations. Tools include Retouch, Object Removal, Reshape, and fine adjustments, while highlighted filters cover Retouch, Impression, Makeup, and Hair Volume. The free version includes many popular features and filters, and some Pro tools can be previewed before subscribing. FaceApp is free to download; the free plan costs nothing, and a watermark may appear. Pro unlocks all filters and tools and removes watermarks, with its exact price shown in the app’s PRO section in local currency. A free Pro trial may be available in some countries. Selected media is sent to Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services for processing, then may remain encrypted in cache for 24 to 48 hours. Users can request earlier removal. Personal use is required.
