ON1 Portrait AI · Portland, Oregon, United States · founded 2005
What it is
ON1 Portrait AI is desktop portrait-editing software for Windows and macOS with machine-learning face detection and retouching controls. It can process a folder of photos in batches and gives each detected face independent adjustments. Retouching tools include skin smoothing, blemish removal, teeth whitening, eye enhancement, and face sculpting. Edits are non-destructive, allowing later changes without altering the original image. Mask AI identifies people, animals, skies, mountains, trees, water, and ground to create masks. The software supports RAW files, layers, and masks, and works as a standalone application or plugin for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop Elements, Apple Photos, Affinity Photo, Capture One, and PaintShop Pro. A one-time Portrait AI 2023.5 license supports two computers, while Photo RAW MAX provides ON1 apps in one editor. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial and 30-day money-back guarantee are available. Activation requires an account and high-speed internet.
