What is Lensa?

Lensa is a mobile photo editor from Prisma AI that became widely known for Magic Avatars: upload a set of selfies, pay for a pack, and receive a batch of stylised portraits in different art directions. The wider app is a conventional retoucher with background blur, colour correction, skin and teeth tools, and video stabilisation. Output quality on avatars is high and the process is simple, but it is fundamentally a paid mobile product: the avatar packs are one-off purchases and full editing sits behind a subscription.

FAQ

Are the avatars included with the app?

No. Magic Avatars are sold as a separate pack purchase on top of the app, and each new pack is charged again. That pricing model, rather than the editor itself, is what the app is best known for.

How many photos do I need to upload?

A handful of varied selfies works best, ideally with different angles and lighting. Packs are generated in batches, so you get several interpretations of the same input to choose from.

What happens to my uploaded photos?

Images are processed on the provider's servers to generate the pack, so check the privacy terms before uploading photos of yourself or anyone else. Keeping the uploads to your own pictures is the sensible default.
