FaceApp's Facial Transformation Features are features of the app FaceApp. These function to create a more clear, airbrushed version of a photo that is uploaded to the app. FaceApp uses artificial intelligence to create the final photo.

Features

FaceApp uses artificial intelligence to airbrush a photo. The artificial intelligence in the app, FaceApp, detects faces. After detecting a face, artificial intelligence is used to target parts of the face chosen by a user to create a more clear, airbrushed photo. FaceApp's artificial intelligence features are involved in several functions within FaceApp. The category, retouch, in FaceApp prompts a user to draw over an area they would like to airbrush. Then, the artificial intelligence in FaceApp detects what part of the face is being drawn over, processes the image, and returns an airbrushed version to the user. In the gender category, the app gives three choices named 'masculine' or 'feminine' followed by numbers 1 or 2. As the number increases next to the gender selection, the amount of airbrushing done on the photo increases. This feature of FaceApp makes a face in an uploaded photo to appear either more feminine or masculine. The feminine feature produces a photo where the user's hair is longer and of brighter color. The skin on the face in the uploaded photo will appear more smooth and if teeth are in the photo, they will appear more white. The eyes on the face will be brightened and eyelashes will be lengthened, darkened. Makeup will be added to the photo. The face will have a smaller nose and more prominent cheekbones. The person in the photo will have more prominent collar bones and their upper half will be accentuated. In the masculine feature, the user's hair will be shorter, brighter, and facial hair will be added. The skin on the face will appear smooth and teeth will appear more white. The eyes on the face will be brightened but makeup will be removed. The face will have a wider nose and prominent jawline. With this feature, a user can change their gender entirely in a photo by artificial intelligence features if the app is prompted to do so. FaceApp's artificial intelligence will detect a user's features that associate with the gender in the photo and change detected features to those that associate with the opposite gender. ...text text text
