Face26

The core tool improves sharpness, color, and detail on everyday photos in a single pass. It handles blurry, compressed, and slightly damaged images, and the company says the model was trained on more than 2 million high-res photos. For most users this is the starting point: run Enhance first, then decide whether you need a more targeted tool.

Face-specific enhancement recovers detail in portraits and group photos where faces went soft. It's the tool to reach for when a shot is otherwise fine but the subject's features are mushy, which is common with low-light phone photos and older digital cameras. Landscapes and text-heavy images benefit less. Pair it with Upscale if you need the whole frame sharpened. The AI face retouch option goes one step further and smooths skin, removing wrinkles, spots, and blemishes.

The colorizer adds natural color to black-and-white and faded photos. It works on historic images and old family prints, and Face26 also markets it for improving the lighting and colors of AI-generated pictures. Color choices come from the model's own inference, so expect plausible results rather than exactly accurate ones for very old photos. That's fine for memories. It's not archival color science. If you also need to unblur image detail, run this after the unblur step so the color model works from the sharpest copy.

Upscaling enlarges small or low-definition images toward 4K without the pixelation you'd get from a plain resize. It also handles text, logos, and objects, not just faces. This is the tool for making an old scan printable or turning a small web image into something usable on a larger screen. Think of it as a photo upscaler for anything you only have at low resolution.

Upload a set of selfies and the generator produces posed, studio-style portraits. Face26 says models developed by AI researchers from Meta and Microsoft power the generation, with headshots aimed at LinkedIn, resumes, and work profiles. You get multiple variations to choose from. The results depend heavily on how consistent and well-lit your input selfies are.

The background remover cuts subjects out of any photo, whether the subject is a person, product, pet, or object. A separate retouch tool removes text, logos, blemishes, and unwanted objects, filling in the cleared area naturally. Both are quick cleanup tools rather than precision editors. Good enough for listings.

Face26 offers APIs for background removal, object removal, photo enhancement, colorization, image compression, cropping, and ID photo generation. The photo enhancement API exposes two modes, one for faces and one for whole-image clarity, which fits teams wiring image cleanup into a checkout flow, a print service, or an app backend. Access and pricing are handled separately from the consumer plans.
