AIPhotor vs SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher

AIPhotor is an online photo editor for retouching images, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its listed tools include object and background removal, enhancement, colorization, skin retouching, text removal, restoration, sky changes, automatic lighting, art enhancement, and background blur. Object removal can identify unwanted items automatically, with a manual brush for adjustments. The background remover supports JPG, PNG, and JPEG files and offers background colors, replacement images, and templates. The pricing information also lists BMP support. Images must be under 4096 × 4096 pixels and no larger than 10 MB. A registered free account includes 5 credits. One credit is used for successful background removal, object removal, or colorization; photo enhancement uses a credit when the long edge is 4096 pixels or less. Monthly plans are listed from $3.99 a month for 100 credits, and pay-as-you-go credit packs are also available. The object-removal page advertises a 3-day free trial. AIPhotor says uploads, results, and face data are deleted within about one hour.

SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher uses AI tools to restore old and damaged photos, addressing imperfections, noise, and blur while colorizing black-and-white images. It can detect scratches, dust, and print damage; the maker says the process preserves film grain. A face-restoration model is intended for blurry, scratched, or low-resolution pictures, and the product page says images can be enlarged up to 800%. Generative AI removes unwanted objects and restores backgrounds, while brushes and cleanup layers support localized manual corrections. Batch processing can handle multiple pictures or a whole folder. Desktop restoration runs locally without an internet connection, and the maker says photos are not uploaded to a server. The browser tool supports PNG, JPEG, JPG, WebP, and HEIC. Severe damage or missing areas may need manual touch-ups; the maker says it has tested images up to 25 megapixels. The software does not control a scanner, but scanned photos can be opened for restoration. A free trial is available, and the online tool can restore a photo or two at no cost. The product is paid, with no free plan.
