Polarr
AI photo editor with object-aware masking, AI color match, and face retouching on every platform.
About
Polarr is a cross-platform photo editor that pairs a full manual editing toolkit with AI-driven shortcuts. Its Vision Engine handles auto enhance, Face HD upscaling, and AI object segmentation that recognizes sky, person, background, vegetation, buildings, and animals, so selective edits apply to the right region without hand-drawn masks. AI Color Match clones the palette of any reference photo in about a second, which makes batch edits look consistent.
The app is built around shareable filters: millions of community-made filters can be discovered, remixed, and synced across devices via QR codes, and filters can even carry AI object adjustments so a look adapts to each photo. Polarr 24FPS extends the same filter system to video. The free tier covers the core editor, while Pro unlocks premium filters, advanced masking, and batch export. It is genuinely lightweight compared with desktop suites, though it lacks true layer compositing and the free version has no RAW support.
