Facetune is a photo and video editing application used to edit, enhance, and retouch photos on a user's iOS or Android device created by Lightricks . The app is often used for portrait and selfie editing. The app implements a number of beauty filters allowing users apply edits such as teeth whitening, removal of blemishes, smoothing out skin, correcting bad lighting, contouring and adding makeup. Users can choose from a variety of filters, lighting, textures, contrast, and frame options. Facetune2 was launched in November 2016. Editing tools include realistic facial editing (changing facial expressions, for instance) and the ability to re-light a subject after the photo has been taken. It also has the ability to change the background of the photo, live selfie editing, more makeup options and also add glitter. Users can share the images created with this app on a variety of social networking services. Since 2022, Facetune2 and Facetune Video, were merged into one app and reverted back to the name Facetune.
