HeyPhoto

HeyPhoto is a free, browser based AI photo editor focused on faces. Its card based interface changes gaze, smiles, emotions, perceived age and gender presentation, plus an anonymize tool, with no manual masking needed. Uploads are limited to 5 MB and faces to 1024 by 1024 px, and free results carry a watermark.

HeyPhoto is a browser based photo editor built around one narrow but useful idea: retouching faces through AI rather than manual brushwork. Instead of layers, masks and clone tools, the site presents a grid of single purpose cards. Each card targets a specific facial attribute, and the underlying model detects the face in your image and applies the adjustment you select. Upload a photo, pick a tool, tune the result, download. That is the whole loop. The tools that are live today cover gaze direction (a playful control where you drag a bird to redirect the eyes), anonymization that alters a face enough to frustrate recognition systems, smile intensity, gender presentation, age shifting in both directions, and general emotion changes. Face reshaping, nose shape, skin tone, makeup and hairstyles are listed as coming soon, so the current feature set is narrower than the card wall initially suggests. Inputs are capped at 5 MB, faces at 1024 by 1024 pixels, and output keeps the resolution and quality of the source file. Straight-on portraits work best, though slight rotation is tolerated. It suits casual users first: people cleaning up a profile picture, experimenting with how they might look older or younger, or anonymizing a photo before posting it publicly. Because there is nothing to learn and no sliders for masking, it also works for anyone who finds Photoshop style editors intimidating. Where it fits competitively is the lightweight end of the market. HeyPhoto is explicitly free, with a watermark placed on results as the trade. There is no mention of paid tiers or watermark removal on the homepage, so users who need clean output should look elsewhere or expect to crop. Sibling products on the same site, a face swapper and a face generator, handle deeper identity manipulation. Privacy is handled by storing uploads for convenience with the option to delete them at any time.
