What does an AI skin detailer do?

An AI skin detailer edits skin without repainting the face. Pick a mode — add freckles, pores, stubble, scars or a tattoo; remove acne, dark circles, redness or existing ink; or apply virtual makeup — then set how hard it pushes, from a texture-only nudge to a full transformation. It also rebuilds real pore detail on plastic-looking generated portraits, and can upscale the result for print.

25+ Specialized Skin Modes

Unlike generic enhancement tools, we offer 25+ targeted skin modifications across 4 categories. Add freckles for a sun-kissed look, remove pimples while keeping texture, or transform AI plastic skin into photorealistic portraits. Mode-specific optimized prompts with category-specific parameters. The library breaks down into 5 Beautify, 11 Add, 7 Remove and 4 Makeup modes — 27 in total — and every one of them ships with its own positive and negative prompt pair, which you can open and rewrite in the Advanced panel before the run if the stock wording is not quite the look you are after.

Add or Remove Tattoos

Visualize tattoo ideas before committing, or clean up photos by removing unwanted tattoos. Our AI intelligently handles ink integration and skin reconstruction. Skin texture reconstruction with smart inpainting. Face Tattoo and Remove Tattoo are two modes on the same upload, so a client can see ink placed and then taken away again in one sitting, and the strength setting decides whether the result reads as fresh work or as a faded old piece. Removal rebuilds the skin underneath rather than smudging over it, so the pores and tone around the cover site still match the rest of the face.

Professional Makeup Effects

Apply virtual makeup from subtle no-makeup looks to full glam and high-fashion editorial styles. Perfect for testing looks or creating beauty content. Makeup-specific prompts preserving skin texture underneath. The 4 makeup modes — Natural Makeup, Glam Makeup, Editorial Look, Bold Lips — sit on top of the skin instead of replacing it, so pores, freckles and fine lines stay where they were and the face still reads as the same person under the colour. Useful when you want to test a look on a real photograph before anyone buys a product or books a chair.

Download, or upscale first
