Face and Skin Retouching Service

About this service

• Will I still look like myself after the retouching?

  Yes. That is the point of doing it by hand. You decide how far to go, from a light cleanup to a stronger edit, and the editor keeps your pores, skin texture and facial features so the result doesn't look smoothed or plastic. Tell us in the order notes if you want to stay very close to the original.

• What can you fix on a face or skin?

  Acne and blemishes, uneven skin tone, makeup that went wrong, shine, a double chin, and similar things you point out. For freckles and moles, tell us whether to keep, soften or remove them, because many people want them left alone.

• Can you retouch a photo with several people in it?

  Yes. Write down who needs what, for example "remove the pimple on the left cheek of the man in the blue shirt". Each extra face means more work, so a busy group photo can take longer. If it needs more than the estimate, the editor tells you before going further.

• Does the quality of my original photo matter?

  It does. A sharp, well-lit, larger photo gives the editor real skin detail to work with. In a small or heavily blurred photo there is less texture to keep, so the editor may suggest a gentler edit. We always return the photo at your original size.

• Can you open closed eyes in a photo?

  Yes, but it needs a replacement photo: another frame of the same person where the eyes are open, such as the next shot in a burst. The editor brings the open eyes in and blends them by hand. Without a replacement photo, making open eyes from scratch usually looks unnatural. If you only have the one frame, send it and the editor will tell you, before going further, whether a natural result is possible.

• Can you fix red-eye?

  Yes. Red-eye is corrected so the eye looks natural again, with the catchlight kept.

• Will whitened teeth look fake?

  No. Teeth are brightened naturally, so they look clean rather than paper-white, and the shade stays consistent with the lighting in the photo. Tell us if you'd like it very subtle.

• Can you give someone a better smile?

  Yes, if you send a replacement photo: another photo of the same person with the smile you want. We bring that smile in, so it still looks like them. Without a replacement photo, changing an expression from scratch usually looks unnatural, so the editor will tell you what is realistic before going further.

• Can you remove glare on glasses?

  We can reduce it. How much depends on how much of the eye the glare hides. If the eyes are fully covered, the editor may need another photo of the same person to rebuild them, and tells you before going further.

Ordering with Tucia

• Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

  By a real person. Every photo is assigned to a professional human editor who does the work by hand, and a human checks the result before delivery. AI tools are used only for narrow helper steps, never as a one-click filter.

• How much does it cost?

  Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

• How long does it take?

  Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

• What if I'm not happy with the result?

  Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

• Are my photos kept private?

  Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
