Facetune is a portrait retoucher first and a general photo editor second. Its tools are built around faces: smoothing skin and removing blemishes, reshaping features, whitening teeth, and trying on looks that would take a salon visit in real life. It's used by creators and people who post a lot of selfies, and the video tools extend the same edits to reels and short clips. The style section offers more than 20 hairstyles, from a sleek bun to a butterfly cut, along with beard options such as stubble and goatee, and virtual makeup. An AI headshot tool turns a casual photo into something closer to a professional portrait. Remove and Vanish erase objects, backgrounds and bystanders, lighting tools adjust how a shot is lit, and there are filters, one-tap presets, auto enhance and colour correction.
Portrait retouching is the point of Facetune, and everything else is secondary. Lightricks built the toolset around what people want to change about their own face in a selfie: skin texture, blemishes, tooth colour, the shape of a jaw or nose. The same edits carry over to short video, which matters for anyone posting reels rather than stills.
The hairstyle and makeup try-ons and the AI headshot tool push it beyond a fixer and into a dressing-up box. A general photo editor sits underneath, with object removal, lighting adjustment, presets and colour correction, but nobody downloads this for the crop tool.
A typical use is short and focused. You take a selfie, open it in the app, and work through a few face tools: smooth, remove a spot, maybe take the teeth a shade whiter. Then you try a hairstyle or two, decide against the butterfly cut, and export. The whole thing takes a couple of minutes.
Heavier sessions involve the Remove and Vanish tools for clearing a photobomber from a holiday shot, or the lighting controls for rescuing a dim indoor picture. Video edits follow the same pattern but take longer to process.
People search for it by name because it became shorthand for retouched selfies. Creators use it to keep a consistent look across posts, and casual users want the blemish and teeth tools without learning a full editor. The AI headshot feature pulls in a newer crowd: anyone who needs a presentable profile picture for a job site and doesn't want to book a photographer.
The five screenshots on the listing will be doing the usual before-and-after work, since that's how retouching apps sell themselves. Expect a photo-first interface with a dark canvas and a tool strip along the bottom, in line with the Photography category. How well the dozens of tools are organised is something the listing can't tell you.
A version number of 26.35 suggests a long line of releases, and Lightricks is a known name in photo and video tools. A 4.6 rating across more than 100,000 reviews is strong for an app with a subscription attached. Only the App Store is linked here, so Android availability isn't something this page confirms.
Frequent selfie posters
The face tools are quick enough to use on every photo before it goes up.
Profile picture rescue
The AI headshot tool turns a casual shot into something closer to office-appropriate.
Short video touch-ups
Reels and clips get the same retouching as stills, which few phone editors offer.
The app is free to download and rated 12+, but the listing here doesn't spell out what's locked behind payment; retouching apps of this kind usually sell a subscription, so check the price screen before committing. Processing-heavy tools such as AI headshots will likely need a connection, though the input doesn't confirm this.
Nothing in the data covers storage size, ads or regional limits. Only an App Store link is present, so iPhone and iPad are the assumed platforms.
Our take
Install it if you post selfies often and want control over skin, teeth and face shape without a desktop editor. Skip it if you mostly edit landscapes or product shots, because the general tools are the weaker half, or if you're uneasy about how much retouching is normal; the app makes heavy changes very easy.
