Airbrush: Face Photo Editor

Faces are the job. Airbrush, from Pixocial, is a photo and video editor whose tools are almost all aimed at a portrait: skin smoothing, blemish removal, teeth whitening, eye brightening, red-eye fixes, virtual makeup from brows to lipstick, hair recolouring, and a one-tap AI Retouch that does a general pass.

The non-face tools are there to finish the picture: background blur and replacement, an eraser and clone stamp for clutter, filters, AI colour adjustments and a sharpening tool for soft photos. The same retouching applies to selfie videos. A set of AI extras generates changed expressions, different looks and studio-style headshots. It openly positions itself against Facetune.

Most sessions last two minutes: open a selfie, tap AI Retouch, maybe dial down the smoothing, swap a cluttered background for a plain one, and post. The eraser comes out when a stranger wanders into the frame. On the video side, a short selfie clip gets the same treatment before it goes to a story.

The generative tools are more of an occasional thing. Pro Headshots is the one you'd use once for a work profile, and Mood Swapper or Style Explorer when curiosity strikes. Over time the habit becomes a quick pass on anything with a face in it.

People search for it as the cheaper or alternative route to what Facetune does, which the listing acknowledges directly. Selfie retouching and virtual makeup remain in constant demand, and the headshot generator has given it a second audience of job seekers. The 4.8 rating from over a hundred thousand reviewers is among the highest in the editing category.

Expect a bright, beauty-app aesthetic: the five screenshots for a Photography listing like this normally show before-and-after portraits with the tool strip underneath. Controls are likely sliders and toggles along the bottom, in the standard mobile editor layout. The look is pitched at selfie culture rather than at photographers, and the generated headshot examples will be a prominent part of the pitch.

Version 8.18.0 points to a long-running product with regular revisions, and the developer is a registered Singapore company with a large user base, going by the hundred-thousand-plus ratings. Only the App Store appears on this page. Nothing in the listing dates the most recent release, but an app competing on AI features has strong incentives to keep shipping.

The 17+ age rating is notable and the description doesn't explain it; it may relate to body-altering tools or generated imagery. The app is free to download, and while the listing doesn't mention a subscription, AI generation features in this category are usually paid, so expect in-app purchases. The generative extras will need a connection. Camera and photo library access are required. Ads, accounts, storage size and regional limits aren't discussed.
