What is AI photo retouching?

It removes the parts of a photo you do not want and rebuilds them to match. You brush over an object, scratch, or blemish, and the AI reads the surrounding texture, lighting, and colour to fill the gap, a clean, repaired image in seconds, with no manual cloning or masking.

Repairs that blend into the image

The AI matches texture, lighting, and colour from the pixels around your edit, so the fix disappears into the photo instead of standing out.

Brush over imperfections

Skip the manual cloning

The old way

  • Clone-stamp and mask every flaw by hand in a heavy editor
  • Match texture and lighting pixel by pixel around each edit
  • Redo the whole selection when one area does not blend
  • Learn a professional tool before you can fix a single photo

With Retouch

  • Brush over the flaw and let AI rebuild it to match
  • Get texture, lighting, and colour blended automatically
  • Regenerate a cleaner fill in seconds if the first pass is off
  • Repair any photo with no editing skills needed

Frequently asked questions

What types of imperfections can Retouch fix?
Retouch can remove unwanted objects, people, signs, wires, and clutter. It also repairs scratches, tears, blemishes, dust marks, and stains. The AI can fill missing areas and fix damaged backgrounds, essentially any localised image imperfection.
How accurate is the AI inpainting?
The AI analyses surrounding texture, patterns, lighting, and colour to generate seamless fills. Results are best when the surrounding area gives good context. Simple backgrounds produce nearly perfect results, while complex textures may occasionally need a second pass.
Can I control the brush size for detailed work?
Yes, the precision brush has adjustable size so you can paint fine details or cover large areas. Use a small brush for precise spot fixes and a larger brush for removing bigger objects.
How many credits does Retouch cost?
Each Retouch generation costs 5 credits. The credit cost is shown before you confirm, so you always know the cost upfront.
Does Retouch work on illustrations and designs?
Yes, Retouch works on any image type: photos, digital art, illustrations, scanned documents, and design mockups. The AI adapts its fill strategy to match the visual style of the source image.
Will the repaired areas be visible?
In most cases, repairs are seamless and invisible. The AI matches texture, lighting gradients, and colour patterns from the surrounding content. For complex repairs, you can always make a second pass to refine the result.
