AI Remove Objects, Retouch 51 for Android
- Description
- What's new
AI Retouch for Android allows you to erase a photobomber or retouch a selfie before posting. For anyone who’s ever used other InShot apps, this one fits the brand’s usual polish, and it doesn’t take long to realize that this isn’t just a basic touch-up tool. AI Retouch is loaded with features people don’t expect to find outside of desktop software.
Key features
The editor sports a simple and clean interface that doesn’t bombard you with ads or complex menus. Everything is clearly labeled: Object Removal, Background Eraser, Skin Retouch, and so on. The obvious headliner here is Object Removal. It’s the feature most people download AI Retouch for, and it does not disappoint. The process is as simple as brushing over something unwanted, like a trash bin, a stranger, an awkward shadow, and letting the AI do the rest. On clean backgrounds like skies or streets, the results are often pretty good, with almost no sign of the object ever being there.
Then there’s the AI Skin Smoothing and Blemish Fixer, which is especially useful for quick selfie clean-ups. A few taps can reduce acne marks, smooth out uneven tones, and whiten teeth. It’s subtle by default, which users appreciate — nobody wants to look plastic, just a little more polished.
Background Removal is another highlight. With a single tap, AI Retouch can isolate a subject and let the user drop in a new background. It's quite accurate, even handling tricky hair edges fairly well. There’s also a background blur option for that fake-DSLR look.
Additional tools like AI-enhance, photo repair, and art-style filters round out the toolkit. Some are for fun like turning a person into a cartoon, while others are rather practical like sharpening old or blurry images. The variety keeps the app interesting even after basic edits are done.
Free vs Premium
One of AI Retouch’s best qualities is how much it gives users for free. Core tools like object removal and skin retouching are accessible without payment, and many users can get plenty of use without spending anything. Occasional ads appear, especially when exporting photos or unlocking certain effects, but they’re usually short and not overly disruptive.
However, some features are locked behind the Pro upgrade, including unlimited access to advanced filters and effects, high-resolution exports, full access to new tools like AI Avatars and HD Enhancer, and, of course, an ad-free experience. In addition, a few features have daily limits for free users. E.g., after enhancing a couple of photos in a day, the app requires you to watch an ad for a third enhancement. Similarly, the face swap and some style filters are capped unless you go premium.
For users who edit frequently or need the app for business (e.g., social media managers, product sellers), the premium tier is worth considering. It’s affordably priced (around $2.99 monthly or about $11.99 for a year), and the convenience of no ads, full features, and better quality exports adds real value. But if you’re a casual user, the free version is pretty generous, especially compared to similar apps that gate almost everything.
Watermark and quality in free version
You’ll be pleased to find that standard object removals do not slap a watermark on your photos, and the exports are good quality. However, some of the fancy AI features (like the AI Avatar generator or certain filters) either add a small watermark or limit the output resolution on the free tier. For example, the AI Avatar will let you generate a couple of avatars for free but to get a full set in HD you will be prompted to upgrade.
Final Verdict
AI Retouch by InShot Inc. is ideal for people who want quick, impressive photo fixes without needing professional tools. The app is rather helpful in many situations such as erasing clutter from a selfie, retouching vacation pics, or preparing clean product shots. Its balance between free accessibility and optional paid features is fair, and the app is continually evolving with new filters, tools, and AI-powered upgrades. Comparing AI Retouch to some similar apps like TouchRetouch and Snapseed’s healing feature, or the object remover in PicsArt, AI Retouch is on par or better in terms of results, and it’s a lot more user-friendly. It doesn’t quite replace Photoshop, but for mobile editing, it’s one of the most convenient and effective tools out there.
