Quick Retouch (IOS only)

Written by Olesia

Quick Retouch is an easy-to-use tool that helps you instantly enhance how you look in photos. This feature lets you smooth your skin, hide imperfections, and add details like makeup, blush, a mustache, and other subtle accents.

How to Use the Quick Retouch tool:

  • Open the Instories app.

  • In the AI Tools section on the home screen, tap See more 13 AI Tools.

  • In the Trending Tools section, select Quick Retouch.

  • Add a photo.

Editing:

Once your photo is uploaded, a set of editing tools appears at the bottom of the screen.

  • Browse the presets and try different retouching styles. Each preset uses AI to generate a result tailored to your photo, so credits are charged each time you preview a new preset.

  • Adjust the intensity of the selected preset using the slider below, from a subtle touch-up to a more noticeable result.

  • To view the before/after comparison, press and hold the black-and-white rectangle icon.

  • When you've found the look you want, tap Apply to apply the generated preset to your photo.

  • You can also fine-tune the result using Adjust — available controls include Brightness, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, and Saturation.

Saving

When you're happy with the result, tap Save to save your photo.

👉 You can also access this tool in the classic editor. Simply tap the image and select Retouch from the toolbar.
