Retouchia is a browser-based AI image editor that handles common photo edits through typed instructions. The site lists background removal, object removal, enhancement, upscaling, photo restoration, colorizing and hairstyle previews. It runs in a web browser, so no desktop install is needed, and the homepage states that downloaded images carry no watermark.
The site names GPT Image 2.5 as an available model and describes the editor as free to open, with credits used when generating images. It claims more than 200K users and 10M images, though these figures come from the company and were not independently checked. Model options, resolutions and limits are shown inside the generator.
The workflow has three steps. First, the user drags and drops an image into the editor; JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP files up to 24 MB are accepted. Second, the user types an instruction such as "remove background", "erase object" or "enhance quality" and clicks generate. The editor interprets the request and runs the edit.
Third, the user reviews the result and downloads the image. Starting a generation requires signing in, because each run uses credits and stores files. Uploaded reference images are deleted after 1 hour and generated results after 7 days. If a run fails, is canceled or is blocked by safety review, the credits are returned to the balance.
The homepage shows before-and-after examples for enhance, upscale, background removal, restore and colorize. Background removal produces transparent cutouts, while object removal erases unwanted items. Enhancement brightens and clarifies photos, and restoration targets scans with fading, scratches or creases. Resolutions depend on the model, with some offering 1K, 2K and 4K and others limited to 1K.
Beyond corrections, the editor can change the setting, outfit or expression of a person while keeping them recognizably real. A hairstyle preview applies options such as long waves, twin ponytails, air bangs or a low ponytail to a selfie, leaving the face, clothes and scene unchanged. The company cautions that a small or compressed source may still look soft.

Retouchia states it does not use inputs to train models unless the user gives separate, explicit consent. Inputs are sent to the image providers that run the job and to content-safety screening services.
