What auto retouch does
Auto Retouch cleans up a photo in a single tap. It auto-levels the contrast, reduces noise, and lifts sharpness and colour - the fixes that turn a flat, soft or dull image into one that reads clearly. There are no sliders to learn: upload and it applies a balanced enhancement built for everyday photos. It runs on img.now's image enhancer, which also offers Sharp, Soft and Photo modes if you want finer control.
What it fixes
- Flat contrast: auto-levelling adds depth and punch.
- Softness: a sharpening pass recovers crispness.
- Dull colour and noise: colours are lifted and grain is reduced.
When to use it - and what is next
Reach for auto retouch on phone snaps, product shots and scanned images that look a little flat or soft. If you also need the image bigger, follow with the image upscaler to enlarge it with recovered detail - our guide on how upscaling works explains the difference. To cut the subject out onto a clean background, use the background remover. For more on getting the most from enhancement, read the image enhancement guide.
