I will teach you how to smooth out wrinkles in a photo with AI. You can remove wrinkles from any portrait using AIE's AI powered wrinkle remover tool.

This tool gives portraits a refreshed and youthful look while keeping skin natural. The supported formats include JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and WEBP.

Get started

Go to AIE's AI wrinkle remover, then click on Remove wrinkles now to open the editing interface.

Upload your own photo or try one of the site's free sample images.

Choose a method

The automatic mode or the default mode is where AI automatically detects and smooths wrinkles on the face.

If you're not satisfied with the automatic result, you can switch to the manual mode.

Automatic mode

AI scans the face and smooths visible wrinkles with one click. This is the fastest way to refresh a portrait.

Manual mode

Use the brush tool to paint over specific wrinkle areas.

Adjust the brush size as needed.

Use the eraser tool to remove any unwanted edits.

Use the move tool at the top to navigate around the image.

A pro tip is using the manual brush with care on subtle wrinkle areas like crow's feet or forehead lines to retain a natural look while still softening the skin.
