About Peachy – AI Face & Body Editor
I’ve tried a ton of photo editing apps, but I kept hearing about Peachy from friends who post those flawless yet natural-looking selfies. As someone who’s deeply skeptical of AI editors that make you look like a plastic doll, I downloaded it to see what the fuss was about. Developed by the team behind the popular InShot Video Editor, Peachy promises subtle, intelligent enhancements. After using it for a few weeks on everything from casual snaps to more polished profile pictures, I’m genuinely impressed by how it balances power with a light touch.
Features & Highlights
The core of Peachy is its AI-driven sliders. Instead of just a generic “beautify” button, you get separate controls for things like Skin Smoothing, Face Reshape, Eye Size, and even Body Reshape. What I love is that the “AI” part seems to actually work—it detects your facial features pretty accurately, so when I use the “Shrink Nose” tool, it doesn’t warp the wall behind me. The Skin Smoothing is my favorite feature; it erases blemishes and evens out tone without wiping out my freckles or making my skin look like a blurry mess. I’ve found the Body Editor useful for subtle adjustments, like tweaking the fit of a jacket in a photo, which feels more ethical than drastic changes. They also have fun filters and makeup tools, but the precision editing is where Peachy really shines for me.
User Experience
Opening the app, I was greeted by a clean, intuitive interface. Importing a photo from my gallery was instant. The first time I used it, I took a selfie I’d just snapped. My skin was looking a bit tired that day. I tapped the “Beauty” tab and gently nudged the Skin Smoothing slider to about 30%. The change was immediate—my under-eye bags softened and a few red spots vanished, but I still looked like me. It was that “good lighting” effect. I then played with the “Face” tab, using the Slim Face feature very slightly. The real test was when I edited a full-body picture from a recent hike. I used the Leg Lengthen tool at maybe 10% strength, and it elongated my legs just enough to improve the proportion without creating a weird, alien silhouette. The whole process for one photo takes me under a minute once I found my preferred settings.
Pricing
Peachy operates on a freemium model. You can download and use a surprising amount of tools for free, which is great for testing. However, the free version places a prominent watermark on exports and limits access to some premium filters and the highest quality of certain tools. To unlock everything, you need a subscription. They offer weekly, monthly, and yearly plans. I opted for the yearly plan during a promotion, which felt worth it for how often I use it. Is it essential? If you edit photos for social media regularly and want control beyond basic app filters, the subscription is a solid investment. For very casual use, the free version might suffice for quick touch-ups before removing the watermark in another app.
Updates & Support
The developers at InShot are clearly active. I’ve seen several updates since I installed it, often adding new, trendy filters or refining the AI models for more accurate detection. When I had a minor glitch with the app crashing on a specific edit, I used the in-app support form. I got a generic “we’re looking into it” email within a day, and the issue was resolved in the next app update about a week later. It’s not 24/7 live chat support, but for a mobile app of this type, the responsiveness is adequate.
Security & Privacy
I downloaded Peachy directly from the official Apple App Store. The app’s privacy policy, which I always skim, states that photo data is processed on-device where possible for core edits, which is a big plus for privacy. However, for some advanced AI features, images may be uploaded to their servers for processing. They claim this data is not stored long-term or used to identify you. The app does serve ads in the free version and offers in-app purchases. I didn’t notice any overly intrusive tracking during my use, but as with any free app, they are likely collecting some usage data. For sensitive photos, I stick to the basic on-device tools and avoid using it for anything I wouldn’t feel comfortable potentially being processed on a server.
What are the main AI editing features in Peachy?
Peachy offers AI-driven sliders for precise adjustments, including Skin Smoothing, Face Reshape (like Slim Face or Shrink Nose), Eye Size, and Body Reshape tools. These features are designed to detect your features accurately for natural-looking enhancements without distorting the background.
Can I use Peachy for free, and what are the limitations?
Yes, Peachy has a free version with access to many core editing tools. However, free exports include a prominent watermark, and some premium filters and the highest quality settings for certain tools are locked behind a subscription.
How do I remove the watermark from my edited photos?
To remove the Peachy watermark, you need to subscribe to one of their premium plans. The watermark is automatically removed from all exports once you have an active subscription.
Why does my skin look blurry or unnatural after using the Skin Smoothing tool?
This usually happens if the smoothing slider is set too high. For a natural result that preserves details like freckles, try using a lower setting, around 30%, to achieve a 'good lighting' effect rather than a full blur.
How does Peachy compare to Adobe Lightroom for photo editing?
Peachy is specialized for AI-powered portrait and body retouching with intuitive, feature-specific sliders, making it ideal for quick, natural selfie enhancements. Lightroom is a more comprehensive tool for color grading, presets, and professional photo editing, but lacks Peachy's dedicated AI body and face shaping features.
