AI-Powered Photo & Video Studio — Enhance, Generate, Create

Yes, YouCam Enhance is free to download on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). A Premium subscription unlocks unlimited access to AI features, batch processing, and higher-quality output. Some advanced AI generation features (such as AI video generation and image-to-video) operate on a credit basis and may require additional purchase even on paid plans.

YouCam Enhance is an AI-powered photo and video enhancement app developed by Perfect Corp. Its core strength is restoring and improving existing media — unblurring photos, denoising, upscaling to 4K, repairing old or damaged photos, colorizing black-and-white images, and fixing video quality. Beyond restoration, it also supports AI image generation, image-to-video animation, text-to-video creation, and a chat-based AI Agent for natural-language editing.

YouCam Enhance is available on both iPhone and Android:

• iPhone – Requires iOS 16.0 or later; also supports Apple Vision. iPhone only (iPad not currently supported).
• Android – Available on Google Play with 500,000+ downloads.

The iOS version is offered in 19 languages including English, Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

YouCam Enhance covers photo restoration, video enhancement, AI editing, and AI generation:

AI Agent

Yes. The AI Photo Enhance feature is specifically designed to unblur and sharpen photos — including blurry portraits, out-of-focus shots, and pixelated screenshots. The AI detects faces, objects, and fine details accurately, restoring sharpness without distorting the subject. You can upscale to 2x or 4x resolution. The full step-by-step guide to unblurring iPhone photos is available on the blog, and for text specifically there's a guide on how to unblur text in images.

Yes. The AI Photo Repair tool is built specifically for restoring old, scratched, faded, and damaged photos. It auto-detects damage and applies scratch removal, quality enhancement, and color/lighting correction in one step. The Magic Eraser can also remove individual scratches or marks manually by brushing over them. For a comparison of the best free old photo restoration apps, including YouCam Enhance, the blog provides a tested review.

Yes. The AI Colorize feature adds natural, vibrant color to black-and-white or faded photographs — restoring them to look as if they were taken in color. The AI deduces historically accurate and contextually appropriate colors, and outputs the result at up to 4K resolution. You can choose from three color palettes to adjust the tone and warmth. It's particularly popular for restoring vintage family and archive photos. For a comparison of the best free AI photo colorizers tested in 2026, the blog covers YouCam Enhance alongside alternatives.

Yes. The AI Lighting tool automatically detects and corrects both underexposed (dark) and overexposed (washed out) photos and video clips, balancing brightness, contrast, and clarity. The upgraded engine works on photos and videos separately and supports batch editing so you can fix entire albums at once. For videos, the AI Video Lighting feature applies the same intelligent relighting frame-by-frame.

Yes. The AI Photo Enhance feature upscales images up to 4x their original resolution — converting low-resolution or pixelated photos to HD or near-4K quality. The AI Video Enhance tool does the same for video footage, sharpening and upscaling clips to up to 4K. This is useful for improving old low-resolution photos or footage taken on older devices.

Yes. The Magic Eraser tool lets you tap or brush over any unwanted object, person, or distraction in a photo, and the AI removes it and fills in the background cleanly. This works for strangers in the background, power lines, watermarks, and other distractions. The Background Changer goes further, letting you remove or completely replace the photo's background using a text prompt.

Yes, though this is a secondary capability compared to its core enhancement focus. The AI Image Generator creates visuals from text prompts across 30+ styles, powered by multiple top models including GPT Image 2 and Flux.2 Pro. The Image-to-Video tool animates still photos using leading video AI models. The Text-to-Video tool generates cinematic clips from written descriptions.

The AI Agent is a chat-based editing assistant built into the app. Instead of navigating menus and sliders, you simply describe what you want — for example, "fix the lighting and remove the person in the background" or "turn this photo into a video" — and the AI carries out the edit automatically. It supports both photo and video editing via natural conversation, and can generate images or videos from text prompts in the same interface.

Yes. The AI Video suite covers all the common video quality issues in one place: AI Video Enhance sharpens and upscales footage to 4K; AI Video Repair fixes corrupted or damaged frames; AI Video Lighting corrects exposure issues; and AI Video Denoise cleans up grain and noise in low-light clips. All tools apply AI frame-by-frame to produce consistent results throughout the video.
