Airbrush may suit everyday users, content creators, photographers, and professionals seeking photo or video editing tools across mobile, desktop, and web.

Overview

Airbrush is a photo and video editor for mobile, desktop and web, with AI tools for portrait retouching and image cleanup. It is a strong fit for creators and photographers who want mobile video editing or desktop batch work alongside portrait tools. Its broad platform range is tempered by limited free access, credit-based usage and no cloud sync.

Key features

AI retouching, skin smoothing, object removal, filters and background adjustments cover common portrait and cleanup jobs. Airbrush Studio adds image enhancement, smart presets and batch editing, making it better suited to processing a group of images than relying on one-at-a-time edits. RAW support is useful for photographers who work with that format.

The Android and iOS apps include video editing as well as photo tools, a practical combination for creators working from a phone. Credits can be used for both, but video costs two credits per minute or part after the first minute in the one-time pack, so video-heavy use can exhaust credits faster than photo editing.

Cloud sync is not available. Cloud editing uploads photos to Airbrush servers for processing and may receive EXIF data. The Mac version of Airbrush Studio says AI photo processing happens on-device and images are not uploaded without consent, so privacy depends on the workflow and product used. The privacy policy also says personal information in text inputs and generated outputs may be processed when using ChatGPT or similar integrated features.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and allows 512M uploads, but access to Magic Image, Magic Video, Portrait, Export and some editing features is limited. It is a way to explore the app, not a dependable choice for regular editing. Airbrush advertises a 7-day free trial for downloads.

The paid options differ in how they allocate credits and how much use they cover:

• Credits Pack: $9 a month for 10 credits, valid for one year. This is a modest allowance for occasional edits, but the subscription credits expire at the end of the subscription term if unused.
• Web Plus Monthly: $15.95 a month, with 80 credits per month, 10GB upload space, unlimited feature usage with credits and unlimited exports. It suits regular web users who want a larger monthly allowance and storage, though feature usage remains tied to credits.
• Web Plus Annually: $95.95 a year, with 80 credits per month, 10GB upload space, unlimited feature usage with credits and unlimited exports. Its stated saving makes it the lower-cost Web Plus option over a year, but the annual term is a bigger commitment.
• Credits Pack (10 Credits): $9, paid once for 10 credits, or $0.90/credit. Credits work for photos and videos and remain valid for one year; a photo costs one credit, while video costs two credits per minute or part after the first minute. This suits occasional users who prefer a one-time purchase, but the allowance is small.

Subscription credits are issued monthly and unused credits expire when the subscription term ends; purchased credits last one year. Compare expected usage before choosing: monthly credits provide a recurring allowance, while the one-time pack avoids a subscription but does not stretch far for video work.

Platforms

Airbrush is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Airbrush Studio supports Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 11 or later; mobile video editing is available on Android and iOS. The platform spread suits people switching between phone and computer, but the lack of cloud sync means it is not a shared, automatically synchronized workflow.

Who it's for

Airbrush makes the most sense for everyday users, content creators and photographers who value portrait retouching, RAW support, mobile video editing or desktop batch processing. Professionals may also find its range useful, particularly for repeat desktop edits. It is less suitable for people who need broad free access, predictable uncapped usage or automatic cloud synchronization.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Batch editing, smart presets and RAW support make the desktop tools more relevant to photographers handling multiple images.
• Pro: Mobile video editing sits alongside photo tools, giving creators both formats on Android and iOS.
• Pro: The one-time credit pack keeps credits valid for a year, which can work better than monthly credits for occasional use.
• Con: Free access is limited across key editing and export features, so regular users may need to pay to maintain their workflow.
• Con: Subscription credits expire at the end of the term, while video consumes credits more quickly than photos.
• Con: No cloud sync limits continuity across devices; cloud editing also involves uploading photos for processing.

Verdict

Choose Airbrush if you want portrait-focused AI tools across mobile, desktop and web, especially with mobile video editing or desktop batch and RAW workflows. Its strongest case is the combination of those tools in one product. Look elsewhere if a generous free tier, predictable credit use or cloud-synced editing is essential.
