What it does
FaceApp is a mobile app for editing portraits of faces. Its home page lists four top features: Retouch smooths blemishes and uneven skin tone, Impression gives a makeover, Makeup tries cosmetic looks, and Hair Volume adds fullness to hair. Its blog describes newer filters: a beard filter for previewing beard and mustache styles, Emotions filters that change facial expressions, a hairstyles filter for adjusting or previewing a cut, Fun filters, and a multiselect option that combines several filters from one group. The apps are offered through the App Store and Google Play, and the site says more than a billion people have installed it. The page text does not state any prices or subscription details.
