Quick snapshot
Sweet Selfie is a mobile app for producing polished portraits and selfies using a range of beautifying tools, filters, and smart effects. You can import pictures from your device or snap new photos with the app’s built-in camera. It aims to simplify portrait retouching so users can get magazine-style results without advanced editing skills.
Live camera retouching
The in-app camera applies real-time adjustments while you shoot. It lets you subtly or dramatically alter facial proportions (for example, slimming the face, enlarging eyes, or narrowing the nose) and includes live acne removal and teeth whitening. These same enhancements can be fine-tuned after the shot in the editor.
Portrait and body editing
Create refined portraits quickly:
- Auto-beautify automatically smooths skin and sharpens details for a more professional appearance.
- Face-focused tools let you whiten teeth, brighten eyes, and experiment with virtual lipstick shades.
- Body-shaping options let you reshape or slim areas of the body and modify facial feature size to taste.
- A dedicated face editor provides realistic makeup effects — blush, contouring, eyeshadow and more — designed to look natural rather than artificial.
Backgrounds & cutouts
You don’t need Photoshop to swap backgrounds. The app can automatically separate subjects and place them onto different scenes or solid-color backdrops for promotions. There’s a growing gallery of fun and scenic backgrounds, and you can control blur and perceived depth with a simple slider.
Effects, blur and framing
Sweet Selfie includes basic creative tools to help stylize images:
- Use the blur tool to create depth-of-field effects by sliding to change intensity.
- Crop and frame photos into different compositions quickly. Note: The app focuses on portrait retouching, so it lacks some advanced controls found in pro editors — features like detailed lighting, contrast, and exposure level adjustments are limited or absent.
Playful stickers & live filters
Have fun with expressive overlays and filters. Features include:
- A face-swap effect for playful transformations.
- Stickers that work in real time during video capture.
- A steady stream of new sticker packs and seasonal additions.
- Wigs, tattoos and other novelty props for dramatic makeovers.
- Classic animal-ear filters and similar cute overlays for selfies.
Pricing and trial details
Subscription options and management:
- Annual VIP subscription is available for users who prefer a year-long plan.
- Monthly premium plans are offered as a shorter-term option.
- New users can try a three-day free trial; subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off in account settings, and cannot be canceled mid-period.
Known issues and limitations
Some users encounter instability when exporting high-resolution images — occasional crashes and pronounced lag have been reported. Saved photos include a small watermark in the corner bearing the app’s name. Additionally, photographers looking for in-depth, professional editing tools may find the app’s capabilities too limited.
Other apps to try
If you need more advanced editing or a different selfie experience, consider these alternatives:
- YouCam Perfect — focused on portrait retouching and selfie features.
- Fotor — a general-purpose editor with more robust adjustment tools.
- Lightroom — for photographers who want advanced lighting and color control.
- Adobe Photoshop Touch — for users seeking powerful compositing and layered edits.
Who this app suits best
Sweet Selfie is ideal for users who primarily want to improve the appearance of faces and bodies quickly — skin smoothing, acne removal, makeup simulation and simple reshaping are its strengths. If you require professional-grade color correction or detailed exposure controls, a different app will better meet those needs.
