The model clears the blemishes and returns the photo as a PNG. **Will my skin look airbrushed?** It shouldn’t. Every request asks the model to keep natural skin texture and change nothing else, so pores and texture across the face stay. Generated edits can still vary, so compare the result against the original. **Do I have to circle each blemish myself?** No. The model finds the blemishes for you. Ask for a lighter pass that targets only obvious spots, or a more thorough one. **Can I choose how much it removes?** Yes, in your request. “Remove just the most visible blemishes” gives a light pass, and “remove all the blemishes” a thorough one. Name anything to keep, like freckles or a mole. **What can I upload?** One JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo per request. To clean up several photos, run the tool once per image. **Will it remove freckles, moles, or scars I want to keep?** The built-in instruction keeps freckles and moles, but a thorough pass can still catch other marks. If something you want kept was removed, run it again and name what to keep, then compare the result against the original. **How is this different from AI Photo Retouch?** Acne Remover is set up for breakouts: a plain request works, and every run keeps natural skin texture. AI Photo Retouch follows whatever retouching you describe, from stray hairs to glare.
