What users say
Pros
- AI style filters return a convincing likeness in seconds, and a video-game filter even filled in a bald spot.
- Old family photos come back restored and colorized with natural-looking results.
- Editing stays simple enough to do on a phone or pocket camera instead of a full desktop setup.
- Support provides clear answers within hours and grants credit compensation.
Cons
- Free-plan exports keep watermarks that are hard to remove, and downloading can require starting a trial.
- AI prompts are frequently misread, like a dog edit returning a boat, and retries burn paid credits.
- Annual plans renew without a reminder email, and refunds are refused for requests made soon after the charge.
- Approved refunds arrive minus a 6% processing fee, so the full annual amount is not returned.
- Credits lapse day by day instead of building up, so a paid allowance can vanish before it is used.
- AI features on Chromebooks exhaust memory and crash, taking unsaved edits with them.
