Quickshot
What Quickshot is
Quickshot is a freemium photo editor for iPhone that uses AI models to apply changes described in natural language. Choose a photo or take one, describe the edit, and download the resulting image. One-tap presets cover additions, removals, styles, backgrounds, and weather effects. Every editing step is stored locally so you can compare versions, branch an edit, or roll back. The service names Flux Kontext Pro, Seedream 4.5 and 5, Nano Banana 2 and Pro, GPT Image, Gemini, and Grok Imagine. The free plan allows three AI edits each day. Quickshot Membership costs $2.99 a month for unlimited edits and priority processing; Quickshot Pro Annual lists those benefits without a price. Processing requires internet access, and photos and descriptions are sent to providers such as Google or OpenAI, though the policy says they are not permanently stored on the developer’s servers. The App Store also lists Mac compatibility, but says it is not verified for macOS.
