How to Enhance Faces in a Photo on iPhone

TL;DR

PhotoRepair enhances facial detail in selfies and group shots with on-device AI, sharpening features for a clearer, more flattering look — especially useful for small or soft faces in a crowd.

Steps

Open the selfie or group photo in PhotoRepair.
Apply face enhancement.
The on-device AI sharpens facial detail and clarity.
Zoom in to check each face looks natural.
Export the enhanced photo.

Why it works this way

Faces are where the eye goes first, and they’re often the softest part of a casual shot — small in a group, slightly out of focus, or lost to compression. PhotoRepair targets facial detail specifically, restoring features without touching the rest of the image, and does it locally so personal photos stay private.

Tips & edge cases

Best for soft or small faces — a crowd shot benefits most.
Combine with unblur or restore on old or blurry portraits.
Keep it natural — check for a plasticky look and ease off if needed.

FAQ

Does it work on small faces in a group photo? Yes. Face enhancement is designed to bring out detail even in small or distant faces in a crowd.

Will it make faces look fake? The goal is natural clarity; review the result and dial it back if it looks over-processed.

Is it private? Yes. Face enhancement runs on-device — no uploads, no account.
