A short recipe for a selfie: spots, Auto light, a little smoothing, a portrait crop.

Drop a photo in. Tap the spot you want gone.Click to browse. A copied picture pastes straight in. Nothing is sent.Spot · Heal stroke · Edge dab · Lift · Red-eye · Level — 6 marks, then it stops

Nothing to hand?

A drawing, not a photograph. Drag the seam: a speck of sensor dust in the sky, something dark pressed against the top border, the lower left corner sitting in shade — one tap each, and the one at the border only shows with the seam pushed right.

What is wrong with it?

Optional — the uploader works without it. It takes about five seconds and can save you a tap you would have undone.

The order this page suggests

  1. Fix: tap a blemish with Spot, or a red pupil with Red-eye (press 5).
  2. Light: press Auto. It writes brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, warmth and saturation as numbers you can move.
  3. Detail: smoothing opens at 15 on skin tones. Raise it, lower it or set it to zero.
  4. Finish: choose Square or Portrait 4:5, drag the crop, and save.

Every step is one click away at any time, and each has its own reset. The seam can compare against the photo as it arrived or against the result without the step you are on.

Questions about selfies

Why is my selfie mirrored?
Many phones save the front camera's picture the way the preview showed it, which is a mirror image. This page does not flip photographs yet, so a mirrored selfie is saved mirrored; most phone camera settings have a switch for it.
Will it reshape my face?
No. There is no reshaping, slimming, eye-enlarging or makeup here, and none is planned. Every change is a spot, a red-eye fix, a light or colour value, a smoothing amount or a crop.
Which crop should I use?
Square suits most profile pictures; Portrait 4:5 and 3:4 suit a feed post or a printed photo. Finish shows the exact pixel size before you save. Check the size the place you are posting to asks for.
