Blemish Remover — Remove Pimples and Acne from Photos Online

The AI locates the face and skin, then finds small high-contrast spots — pimples, acne, dark marks and minor scars — that stand out from the surrounding skin. It heals each one using nearby clean skin (content-aware inpainting) so the patch blends in while keeping real pores and texture.

No. Unlike blur filters that wipe out texture, this repairs only the actual blemishes and leaves the rest of the skin untouched, so you get clear skin rather than a plastic look. For an extra-soft finish, run the result through Beautify Face.

Yes. A strength slider goes from a light touch (only the most obvious spots) to a stronger clean-up. Start light and increase if some marks remain.

It works best on clear selfies and portraits where the face is reasonably large in the frame. It can also clean faces in group photos, though very small or blurry faces get lighter results.

Yes — preview and download a clean web-size result without creating an account. Premium unlocks the original-resolution result and supports larger batches. Server-processed photos are removed under our Security policy; see the Security policy for handling details.

Upload a selfie or portrait, start with a light retouch strength and review the result. Free provides a web-size download; Premium adds original-resolution export and supports larger batches.

These are the fine-tuning knobs under Adjust. Heal intensity controls how fully each blemish is replaced — lower keeps more natural skin texture, higher gives a cleaner patch. Max spot size sets the largest mark the tool will remove, so raise it to clear big spots or lower it to touch only tiny ones. Feature protection sets the safety margin around eyes, eyebrows, lips and nose so those are never edited — raise it to Maximum if any facial feature looks touched.

Eyes, eyebrows, lips and nose are always protected automatically, and you can widen that guard with the Feature protection slider. If any feature still looks altered, slide Feature protection up to Maximum and lower the overall strength — the tool will then clear only clearly-defined skin blemishes and leave every facial feature crisp.

Raise the Max spot size slider so the tool is allowed to heal bigger marks, then increase Heal intensity for a fuller repair. The tool only treats compact, round marks that stand out in color or brightness from the skin around them, so a small mole may be treated like a pimple while a large or flat mark may be left alone. Keep strength moderate so surrounding skin texture stays realistic. For very large areas, run the photo a second time — each pass blends the healed region a little further.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every photo is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Start from the highest-resolution original you have. A screenshot of a photo, or a copy that has already been compressed and re-shared, gives the tool far less to work with and no setting recovers that. Then, where there is a strength control, come down from the default — most photos need less than the default suggests. Compare against your original at full size before you download.

Blemish Remover supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — Blemish Remover runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

That message means no complete face with clear features was found, or no small spots could be separated from skin texture safely. Use a sharp portrait with the full forehead, eyes and chin visible, since cheek close-ups and collages are not supported. Then raise Retouch strength, Heal intensity or Max spot size a little at a time.

It can. Spots are chosen by size, shape and how much they differ from nearby skin, not by what the mark is, so a small mole or freckle may be treated like a pimple. To keep a beauty mark, lower Retouch strength and Max spot size, then compare the result with your original.

No. The blemish remover is a face tool, so a photo without a complete, clearly visible face returns a message instead of an edit. For dust, stains or marks on the photo itself, paint over the area in Repair Photo Damage, or describe the mark in AI Object Remover.

A sharp, well-lit portrait where the face is large, complete and turned toward the camera. Faces cut off by the frame edge or turned far to one side may be skipped, and very small or blurry faces in a group photo get lighter results. Start with the original file, not a screenshot.

Yes. A skin smoother softens the whole surface, which can look plastic. The blemish remover heals only individual spots and leaves pores and texture elsewhere. For an even tone as well, run the Face Beautifier on the result at a low strength.

Start with Retouch strength at Light and Heal intensity toward Natural, then retouch once and look at the cheeks and forehead. Raise one slider at a time if small spots remain. Lower values keep more real pore texture, which is what stops skin from looking plastic.

It targets small, compact spots such as pimples, acne marks and dark spots. Deep scars, broad redness and marks larger than Max spot size can remain, because they differ from a spot in size and shape. Raise Max spot size a little at a time and check the result.

It heals small spots only. Eyes, brows, lips, nose and facial hair are protected, and the tool does not slim, reshape or restyle a face. For a smoother overall skin tone, use the Face Beautifier at a low strength.
