Use tool ↗About FaceApp
FaceApp is a portrait-editing app for iOS and Android that applies AI filters for retouching, makeup, hair color and volume, expression changes and its famous aging and gender-swap effects. Aimed at casual selfie editing rather than professional work, it counts over a billion downloads since 2017. The base app is free with watermarked output; a Pro subscription unlocks all filters and removes watermarks, billed monthly or annually through Apple and Google with prices shown only inside the app per region. It is operated by FaceApp Technology Limited of Limassol, Cyprus.

Pros & cons of FaceApp
For one-tap portrait edits that look natural, FaceApp remains the reference consumer app, which is why it has survived a decade of clones. The catch is that everything meaningful sits behind a subscription whose price you only discover inside the app, and there is no web or desktop version at all.
Pros
- Filters produce natural-looking results with a single tap
- Mature app, refined continuously since 2017, with store awards to show
- Free version lets you evaluate most effects before paying
- Covers both iOS and Android
Cons
- Pro pricing is invisible until you are inside the app, and varies by region
- Free output is watermarked
- Photos are processed on the company's servers, not on-device
Best for
- Casual users retouching selfies without learning an editor
- Trying hair colors, makeup looks or aging effects before committing in real life
- Quick, share-ready portrait edits on a phone
Not for
- Desktop or browser-based editing workflows
- Professional retouchers needing layer-level control
Watch out: Subscriptions run through Apple/Google and auto-renew; cancel in the store, not with the developer, and expect regional price differences.
