AI-Powered Photo Enhancement: Revolutionizing Smartphone Photography

I Tried 4 AI Photo Enhancers: This One Is My Favorite

This Is the Best Free All-in-One AI Generator I've Used: Here's Why Quick LinksPicsart CutOut Pro PicWish PixelCut Key Takeaways Picsart's AI enhancer is slow and better for certain types of images like landscapes. CutOut Pro improves images noticeably with some obvious AI adjustments. PicWish is a great AI enhancer with subtle changes and easy usability, but requires a premium plan. I've tried several photo editing apps at this point, and I was curious to test various AI photo enhancing tools to see if they'd improve my images. After experimenting with multiple options, here's what I think works well and why. Let's jump in. 1 Picsart You can improve your photos with several Picsart tools, including an AI enhancer. For reference, here was the image I started with (and what I will use for all of the tools on this list): After using the Picsart AI enhance tool, this was the final result: One thing to note is that this was one of the slowest AI enhance tools I've used in terms of loading time. This could potentially have been due to my file size, but I don't think that was the case. I had to reload because it froze halfway through, which was very frustrating. Aside from that, though, I think I would've gotten better results with a different kind of image. Sometimes it feels like landscape photos are difficult for AI enhancers to get right; they often come out too flat. This is precisely why I used a landscape picture for this experiment. If you want to improve your images in the landscape genre and potentially give the tool more to work with, consider checking out these essential landscape photography tips. If you use Picsart's AI enhance tool, it's worth noting that this is a premium feature. 2 CutOut Pro I already have tried editing my photos with AI-powered apps like CutOut Pro before, but I used this for background removal. So, this time I tried to see if it could reasonably enhance my images with one click using its AI enhancer. This was the final result: I felt like this was a better result than my first attempt, and I like the smoothness for the most part. My only complaint, however, is that I think it looks very obvious this has been adjusted with AI. However, that could also be because I knew that I was editing it with AI; my opinion would perhaps be different if someone else showed me the enhancement result and I had no clue AI had been used. It's also worth noting that I chose quality rather than fidelity when enhancing this image, so your mileage may vary depending on what's more important to you. 3 PicWish PicWish is an easy-to-use AI image enhancer that lets you either enhance your picture or colorize a black-and-white image. While the enhancer is technically designed for portraits, I think it did a pretty good job with my landscape photo. Below is the final result: I would say that PicWish was my favorite AI image enhancer in this experiment. The changes it made were quite subtle, and the app was also easier to use. You do have to sign up for an account to use PicWish. And you also have to subscribe to a premium plan if you'd like to download a high-quality version of your image, but I think that the basic one is more than good enough. 4 PixelCut While most of the enhancers so far focused on removing annoyances, you might want something that can quickly upscale your content. If that's the case, PixelCut is precisely what you're looking for. I have to say that PixelCut didn't change a huge amount about my picture, which one could argue is a good thing. It's slightly less grainy than it was, but not much else changed otherwise. So, I would say that this is a great tool if you just need to upscale a blurry picture. There were plenty of other AI photo enhancers that I tried but didn't include for several reasons. Some didn't let me sign up for an account, and others would not allow me to remove the watermark. So, if you need a photo enhancer, I'd suggest starting with these four options -- with PicWish being the best one.

The Best AI Tools to Improve Your Smartphone Photography

This Is the Best Free All-in-One AI Generator I've Used: Here's Why Quick LinksPixlr Adobe Express Photoroom Photoshop Express Canva's AI Photo Editor Pixomatic Magic Eraser Background Editor Key Takeaways There are mani AI tools that can help you enhance your smartphone photos. Photoroom offers effective object removal tools and AI backgrounds for smartphone photos. Canva, Photoshop Express, and Pixomatic provide a variety of AI tools to enhance and simplify smartphone photography editing. You can use AI to save time editing your photos in several ways, such as removing backgrounds and quickly making color-based adjustments. This guide will show you our list of the best AI tools to improve your smartphone photography. 1 Pixlr Pixlr is one of my favorite tools for resizing images online, and it also has a handful of AI tools that can help your smartphone images stand out. The Generative Fill tool, for example, lets you choose an area of the picture and replace it with whatever you want. To replace part of your image (or generate something new), you have to enter a text prompt. Close You can use Pixlr to remove the background if you'd like to replace it with a block color. However, I must admit that I had mixed results here; it sometimes took out too much of the image. And if you've taken a photo with other people, you can use the Face Swap tool to create a fun image for social media. If you want to use Generative Fill, you'll get 50 credits. Each prompt costs one. For more advanced image editing, consider learning how to combine two photos using Generative Fill in Photoshop. Download: Pixlr for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 2 Adobe Express Adobe Express is another superb tool for improving your smartphone photos; in addition to AI adjustments, I'd also recommend it for basic manual photo editing. With Adobe Express, you can remove objects by brushing an entire area and choosing your brush size. This is a great option if you want to remove unwanted blemishes and intrusive items like trash cans. Close If you want to take things further, Adobe Express also lets you remove the entire background. Furthermore, you can insert new objects with Generative Fill. This works similarly to Pixlr; you'll have to enter a text prompt to explain what you want to appear in your picture. When using Adobe Express, you can also use text prompts to create templates for your smartphone photos. This is one of many cool things you can do with Adobe Express. Download: Adobe Express for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 3 Photoroom Photoroom will automatically remove your photo's background when you upload it, but you can skip this. I would recommend skipping it unless you were already planning to remove the background, but note that you have to do this quickly because the removal doesn't take a long time. Close You have an impressive suite of AI tools available in Photoroom, such as a retouching tool that lets you brush different parts of your image to remove unwanted objects. I tried this myself, and compared to many other options out there, it's one of the most effective object-removal tools in my opinion. The app also has an AI background tool that allows you to choose from several preset options, such as mountain, beach, and street. Since Photoroom also has plenty of manual editing tools you can use (e.g. saturation, shadows, and hue), it's an ideal tool if you want to combine AI and manual photo editing. Download: Photoroom for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 4 Photoshop Express Photoshop Express is another fantastic smartphone photo editing tool in general, and it has a handful of AI tools if you want to speed up your adjustments. One of its most helpful is the Generative Expand feature, which allows you to stretch your picture across a bigger area. You can choose between square, portrait, widescreen, and landscape. Close To be honest, I think that the Generative Expand tool does need a bit of work. When trying to convert a portrait picture to landscape, it made parts of my picture look strange. So, if you're going to use it, I recommend picking something with just one subject or using it for the same aspect ratio. Photoshop Express also has a Generative Fill tool that lets you change the background and add different things to your picture. Download: Photoshop Express for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 5 Canva's AI Photo Editor You can create several things in Canva with minimal effort, and its AI photo editor is another way to simplify your workflow. You will need a Canva Pro subscription to use the majority of Canva's AI photo editing tools, but you can get a free trial if you want to try them first. To be honest, I recommend using this tool in your web browser because it crashed when I tried it on my mobile device. Nonetheless, you will have access to numerous editing tools regardless where you access the app. These include a Magic Edit feature that lets you brush over parts of your image and add a text prompt to determine what you should do next. Other Canva AI tools to consider using include its background remover, along with a Magic Expander and Magic Grab feature. Download: Canva for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 6 Pixomatic Pixomatic has a handful of AI tools to enhance your smartphone pictures, such as the Cut feature that will remove areas outside of what you select. You can also select the parts of your picture that you'd like to blur, making it a handy option if you want to go for more of a bokeh effect with a camera that doesn't have Portrait Mode. Close You'll also find a Magic Cut feature in Pixomatic, which will remove your background without you having to do much. These features sit alongside others such as shape cutting, clone stamps, filters, cropping, and more. Download: Pixomatic for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available) 7 Magic Eraser Background Editor Magic Eraser is a simple AI editing tool with just a couple of features. You can easily remove your background, and it's also possible to get rid of specific objects. Both tools will let you draw over the areas you'd like to delete. Close With the Object Removal feature, you can choose whether you'd like to select an area of your picture with the Lasso or Line. Moreover, you can clone specfic parts if you wish. If you have a free plan, you can use up to three daily erases. Download: Magic Eraser for iOS (Free, in-app purchases available) Whether you want to remove objects, delete your background, or change different aspects within your image, you'll find plenty of AI editing tools to do it. Some of these will complement manual editing options, and I believe that these are the ones worth trying as you get the best of both worlds.
