PhotoDirector

PhotoDirector is generative-AI photo editing software for creating, enhancing, and transforming images. Edit by Chat turns plain-language requests into guided editing actions, while Quick Action suggests changes such as enhancement, background blur, color correction, and cleanup. Generative features include image generation, image-to-video, character motion swap, multi-face swap, AI try-on, and object replacement. For detailed editing, PhotoDirector supports RAW files, batch work, image organization, layers, masks, blending modes, compositing, exposure, HSL, curves, sharpening, and lens correction. Its stock feature provides access to iStock by Getty Images. PhotoDirector Essential is free without a time limit, but advanced AI tools and selected export options are restricted. Mac and Windows versions are separate products, and a license does not transfer between them. Internet access is required for activation, subscription access, online services, some features, and updates. The free plan requires no payment information.
