What Retrica is
Retrica is a mobile camera and photo-editing app for Android and iOS, made by Retrica in Seoul, South Korea. Founded in 2014, it focuses on retro and vintage looks through built-in filters and one-tap presets that change color and mood. Its camera is described as fast and intuitive, while editing tools let users fine-tune images to their preferred style. A community feed offers styles and ideas shared by other creators. Retrica lists AI retouching and AI image generation: users can upload photos and text prompts to create personalized images. Uploaded photos are kept in a private cloud container, with access restricted through authorization checks and backend-issued tokens. Photos and related inputs may be sent to third-party image-generation providers solely to produce requested images. Retrica says facial images are not used for biometric identification, recognition, identity verification, or biometric templates. Uploaded photos remain until deletion is requested, and generated images remain in history until deleted.
