Every tool in Sfuma
Sfuma is a free portrait editor for iPhone by NameVerse, Inc., with four tabs: Slimming, Touch Up, Looks and Edit. Each one previews live, and nothing is kept until you press Apply. Hold the photo to see the original at any time.
Touch Up
One feature at a time, with its own sliders and one Apply. Every tool here is locked to the face it belongs to, so a group photo keeps each person’s own edits.
Smooth: Soften and Even tone
Soften works on texture, not color. Blotches go, pores and fine lines stay even at full strength. Even tone levels out patchy brightness inside the face. Eyes, brows, lips, hairline and the skin beside the jaw stay sharp.
Proof: the tone-lock test fails if smoothing shifts color balance or brightness past its limits. The numbers.
Heal: Automatic or Manual
Automatic finds pimples and dark spots on its own; the slider decides how many it clears, and it keeps its distance from the eyes at any head angle. Manual gives you an adjustable brush that rebuilds a spot from the skin around it.
Proof: Touch Up → Heal shows both modes, and Automatic says “No spots found” instead of guessing.
Under-eye circles
Dark circles soften toward your own cheek color, and fine lines fade with the slider. The band follows a tilted head, so both sides get the same lift.
Eye brighten
A little more clarity and light in the eyes themselves. Lids and lashes are untouched.
Teeth whitening
Takes the yellow out and lifts brightness inside the mouth only. It stays matte, not porcelain.
When detection is unsure, tools step back
Face detection can miss, especially on small faces at the back of a group. When it hands back unusable eye, mouth or outline positions, Sfuma still protects eyes and lips during smoothing, keeps whitening and brightening where they belong, and lets reshaping do nothing rather than land in the wrong place.
Proof: try a face that is small, blurred or turned away. Nose and Chin then leave the face as it was instead of bending the wrong spot.
Looks
Fifty free looks in six families, plus 28 more with the unlock. Every tile is a thumbnail of your own photo, so you choose a look on you, not on a model. Tap to preview, set Intensity, Apply.
- Warm film: Golden Horn, Cappadocia, Kodak Sun, Terracotta, Safranbolu…
- Cool film: Bosphorus, Nordic, Marmara, Glacier, Petrol…
- Bright clean: Alaçatı, Daylight, Cotton, Bodrum, Linen…
- Moody: Karaköy, Noir Café, Velvet, Cihangir, Olive Grove…
- Black and white: Ara, Silver, Graphite, Darkroom…
- Vivid, tuned for Turkey: İstanbul, Ege, Kapalıçarşı, Türk Kahvesi, Antep, Nar…
Proof: a test runs every look in the library over near-white and pure white and fails if the highlights collapse, so a white sky stays white.
Your own looks
With the unlock, Share look turns your current edit into a code you can copy or send as a link, and Keep in Mine puts it first in the Looks grid. Anyone can paste a code for free.
Edit
Light and color
Brightness, Contrast, Warmth, Saturation, Fade. Sliders fill from their default, so you can see at a glance how far you have moved.
Crop
A frame with corner and edge handles, five ratios (Original, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9) and Straighten up to 15° either way.
Slimming
Seven options: Nose, Butt, Legs, Arms, Stomach, Waist and Chin. Nose and Chin are sliders anchored to the face’s own landmarks, and the background behind the head never bends. For the body, pick an option and tap the photo where you want the change, with Size and Strength sliders. There is no automatic body mode: you decide where every edit goes.
Proof: body edits, Chin included, are left out of shareable recipes on purpose; a look is a style, a body edit is personal. Nose travels with a look because it is stored with the face settings.
Camera
Take a photo inside Sfuma with Retouch on and a free look already applied, then continue in the editor. Camera access is used for taking the photo and nothing else; nothing is uploaded.
Does Sfuma add a watermark?
No. The export is re-rendered at the photo’s full resolution, never a scaled preview, and there is no watermark. Keep the original framing or crop to 4:5 or 9:16 right on the export screen. Photo details and location are off unless you switch them on. Save to Photos writes a HEIC file; Share photo sends a JPEG.
Proof: your original photo is never modified; Sfuma keeps its own copy of the edit and writes a new file on export.
How editing works
- Hold to see the original. On the photo, at any zoom.
- One Apply per tab. Everything you do in a tab previews live until you Apply; ✕ puts it back. Switching tabs with unapplied work asks first.
- Undo that respects faces. Undo and redo return to the face each change was made on.
- Reset is always in the ⋯ menu, on every tab.
- Auto-save. Edits are saved as you go and restored exactly, including which face was selected.
- Soft detents. Each slider has a point where it feels like resistance: the place where the edit still looks like you. You can pass it. You will feel it.
Send feedback from the editor
Open the ⋯ menu while editing and choose Send feedback. Say what you were trying to do, whether it went well, and what you saw. The screen lists exactly what will be sent and nothing goes until you press Send. My reports in Settings shows the state of each report and the build its fix landed in, and asks you whether the fix worked.
Proof: location data and the camera serial number are removed from photos before they leave the phone; names you gave faces never leave it. Privacy policy.
