Perfectly Clear
Perfectly Clear is photo and video correction technology from EyeQ Imaging Inc. Its automatic tools can adjust color, sharpen images, correct exposure, and clarify details. Perfect Exposure uses AI to locate a subject and relight it. Other listed tools include retouching, creative LOOKs, AI image upscaling, auto crop, background removal, glasses glare removal, and video enhancement; RAW photo support, batch editing, and generative editing are also listed. It runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with API and self-hosted or container deployment options. SDKs cover server, mobile, desktop, and browser use. The SDK engine can run locally in customer products and systems, while the Web API is cloud-based: it accepts an original JPG and correction request over HTTP, processes the image on the maker’s servers, and returns the corrected image. The photo trial lasts 30 days, needs no credit card, and includes specified correction, upscale, glare-removal, and background-removal allowances; a separate no-card video trial includes 300 seconds of corrections. Pricing includes Photo Corrections at $0.10 a month, billed per image, and per-image rates for other tools.
