Remini

What is Remini?

Remini is an AI photo enhancer that sharpens, restores and upscales photos and short videos, with a mobile app for iOS and Android and a browser version called Remini Web. Its mobile app also generates new portraits of you from a set of your own selfies.

Remini's website footer names AI Creativity S.r.l. in Milan, a sole shareholder company subject to the management and coordination of Bending Spoons S.p.A. Bending Spoons acquired the AI-powered photo enhancer during a run of acquisitions between 2014 and 2021. On the App Store, the app is listed as Remini - AI Photo Enhancer, sold by Bending Spoons Apps ApS, with the seller website pointing to Remini's own domain.

Core features

Enhancement tools

• Old Photos Restorer: Faded, degraded and damaged pictures are the target; Remini says its AI restores them instantly.
• Image Enlarger: Photos and videos can be made up to 2x larger, with image resolution raised up to 4096x4096px.
• Video Enhancer: Video quality and size are increased by up to 2x, aimed at old, blurry or low-quality footage.
• Face Enhancer: Skin texture is smoothed, blemishes removed, and lighting and colors adjusted, from skin smoothing to brightening eyes and teeth.
• Background Enhance: Landscapes, objects, clothing and other details outside faces get their own treatment.
• Unblur & Sharpener: Blur is removed, including motion blur from shaky shots.
• Denoiser: Grain and digital noise are cleaned up to reveal hidden detail.
• Color Fixer: Exposure, saturation and vibrancy are adjusted in both photos and videos.

Remini Web relies on two different enhancement models depending on whether it recognises a face or another element, which is why faces and surroundings can come out at different quality levels. On the web, an AI toolbar lets you rebalance the result: Face Enhance, Beautify filters for faces, Background Enhance (its v1 version is applied by default, with a lighter Base filter option), Color Correction, and saved pre-applied settings.

AI Photos (generative portraits)

AI Photos asks for 8 to 12 images to teach the AI what a person looks like, after which it can generate many different photos of that person. Each set of results follows the style and pose of a model image picked from dozens of options, such as a new CV photo or a version of yourself as a baby.

In a November 14, 2025 press release, Bending Spoons announced that Remini had integrated Google's Gemini Flash Image model, also known as Nano Banana, via Vertex AI. The release does not say which features use the model.

Business-only tools on Remini Web

• Bulk enhancer: A Business subscription unlocks enhancing up to 15 photos at the same time.
• Photoshop plugin: Business users can install a free Remini plugin from the Adobe Creative Cloud Marketplace, generate a plugin key in Remini Web, and create a layer with the enhanced image inside Photoshop.

Guide

Enhancing a photo or video on Remini Web

1. Create an account, start a subscription and choose the file you want to improve.
2. Remini uploads the file and starts the enhancement automatically; results are ready after a couple of minutes.
3. Use the AI toolbar on the left side of the screen to adjust the details.
4. Choose the output format and download the enhanced media.

Creating AI Photos in the mobile app

1. Tap the AI Photos button at the bottom of the main screen.
2. Select up to 12 pictures for Remini to use.
3. Pick your gender, then pick a model image to set the mood.
4. Swipe right on the results to save your favorites.

Getting better results

Remini's AI works best on faces and face-on images, and results can disappoint on media that is too damaged or low quality, on faces that are too blurred, and on the back or silhouette of a person. When AI Photos look disproportionate, Remini advises uploading pictures that are not zoomed in on the face, and trying a different model image.

Remini use cases and examples

• Family archives: The restorer is positioned for family photographs and historical documents, and Remini says its AI identifies faces even in blurry group photos from decades ago. This is the clearest fit if you want to restore old photos that exist only as prints or scans.
• Everyday image sources: The mobile Enhance feature takes pictures downloaded from the internet, smartphone photos, old photos stored on a phone or computer, and printed photos that were later digitized or photographed.
• CV and profile pictures: AI Photos is marketed for CV photos and profile pictures that look like a professional photographer's work, generated from your own selfies.
• Client and commercial work: Remini describes Remini Web as suited to professional editing, with more room for video enhancement and business accounts for commercial use.

Who is it for

Good fit:

• People with no editing background: Remini says Remini Web needs no previous photo editing knowledge and runs the processing on Remini's own machines, so a modest computer is enough.
• Professional users who need commercial use, PNG or TIFF output, or batch processing, which Remini Web reserves for the Business plan.

Poor fit:

• Anyone under 16: the Terms of Service say the service is not available to individuals under 16, and users between 16 and the age of majority need a parent or guardian to agree to the Terms on their behalf.
• Developers: Remini's API service has been officially discontinued, and integrations that depend on it no longer function.
• Teams that want one pooled account: there is no specific shared-account option, and upload and usage limits are calculated per single account.

Platforms

• iOS and iPadOS: The App Store listing requires iOS 15.0 or later.
• Android: The Google Play listing says versions older than Android 7 may not support the most recent updates.
• Web: Remini Web runs in a desktop browser, and its settings and functions differ slightly from the mobile app because the two are developed separately.

Feature availability is split by surface. Remini's generative AI for creating hyper-realistic photos of yourself is available only on mobile, while professional enhancement is offered on Remini Web. The mobile app also does not yet support batch enhancement, which on the web is a Business feature.

Subscriptions do not carry over freely between surfaces. A subscription started on Remini Web cannot be synced to the Remini mobile app. In the other direction, only higher mobile in-app plans include access to Remini Web, redeemed through the WEB button in the app. Remini cannot be used offline because it needs an internet connection to process media.

Pricing

Remini Web plans

Video enhancement has its own caps, counted per single video and per week:

Remini Web shows its prices on the paywall in USD, and the actual charge may vary with your currency and the exchange rate. The paywall sits behind the Log In / Sign Up step. Web subscriptions renew automatically every week, month or year unless cancelled from your profile.

Mobile app pricing

Remini says there is no fixed price list for the mobile app, because each user may see unique offers that change over time and prices differ by duration and promotion. As captured on October 5, 2026, the US App Store listing shows in-app purchases including Remini Pro Weekly at $9.99, Remini Lite Weekly at $4.99, $5.99 and $7.99, and a 1 Month item at $9.99. The Google Play listing marks Remini as containing ads and offering in-app purchases.

• Free tier: Remini offers limited free access, and lower-tier paid plans may not include all features of higher tiers.
• Free trials: Trials are not always available, can be used only once and may not include all tools; auto-renewal has to be turned off at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid a charge.
• Usage caps for subscribers: A periodic limit usually resets the next day, while a quantitative limit can be lifted by paying an additional fee shown in a pop-up.
• Add-on payments: Some features require credit packs bought on top of a subscription.

Cancellation and refunds

• A cancelled Remini Web plan stays active until the current billing cycle ends.
• The Refund Policy sets request windows of 20 days for weekly and monthly plans and 60 days for yearly plans, counted from the contested charge.
• App Store refunds are handled by Apple, and Google handles Google Play refund requests made within 48 hours of purchase.
• Users residing in the European Union can withdraw from a purchase within 14 days of the transaction.
• A processed refund downgrades the subscription to the Free Plan immediately, and the policy warns this may result in loss of content.

Remini alternatives

The App Store's similar-apps list for Remini includes PhotoBoost, Unblur, Pixelup and YouCam Enhance, each pitched as an AI photo enhancer for unblurring, restoring or clearing photos.

A review platform lists Aragon AI and HeadshotPro among companies people also looked at alongside Remini's website, each showing 4.7 there (from about 7K and 4K reviews respectively) as captured on October 5, 2026. That listing reflects browsing overlap on the platform, not a feature comparison.

Inside Remini itself, the main choice is between surfaces: web Business for batch work, commercial use and Photoshop, or a higher mobile plan if you also want AI Photos.

Limitations

Product and usage limits

• Commercial rights differ by document: The general Terms grant users outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland a license for personal and non-commercial purposes, while Remini Web's Business plan lists commercial use as a feature.
• API messaging conflicts: The API service is listed as discontinued in the help center, yet Remini's feature pages still carry an Integrations block promoting API integration with a few lines of code.
• Input size: Remini Web currently processes photos up to 2048 x 2048 pixels and compresses larger images to fit.
• No resolution control: Remini Web does not support choosing a custom output resolution.
• Watermarks: Even paying users may still see a watermark in some cases, depending on the tool or feature used.
• No history: The app has no History section, so enhancements or AI photos not saved to your device cannot be retrieved.
• Dispute terms: For users outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland, the Terms contain a binding individual arbitration requirement and a class-action waiver.

Output accuracy

Remini acknowledges that AI Photos results may not live up to expectations and may present flaws. A July 2023 independent tech report described users finding that the viral AI headshots made unwelcome changes to their bodies, such as making some women look much skinnier. Earlier, a December 2020 hands-on review in photography media found restoration errors, such as mishandled glasses and slightly over-sharpened eyes, while praising the overall result. Both predate later model changes, including the 2025 Gemini integration, so they describe reported failure modes rather than current measurements.

Ratings context

As captured on October 5, 2026, the US App Store shows an average rating of about 4.6 from roughly 355,000 ratings and a 4+ age rating. On the same capture date, Google Play shows a 4.1 rating from 5.89M reviews, 500M+ downloads and an Everyone content rating. The Remini website's profile on a review platform shows a 1.5 score from 71 reviews, is unclaimed, and notes the company has not invited customers, so those reviews may not be representative. The store age ratings sit alongside a policy and Terms minimum age of 16.

Privacy and data rights

• Web uploads: Remini Web automatically deletes uploaded photos, videos and audio recordings from its servers after 15 days unless they are strictly necessary for a specific requested feature. The web app is not intended for anyone under the age of 16.
• Face data: The app privacy policy says face data may be considered biometric data in some jurisdictions, is used only to enhance media and create requested AI images unless you consent otherwise, and is never processed to identify or authenticate people.
• Enhancement retention (app): Uploaded and enhanced images and videos are deleted one day after upload or enhancement, and face data used for enhancement is deleted immediately afterwards.
• Generation retention (app): Uploads for AI generation are kept up to 20 days for subscribers or 7 days for non-subscribers from your most recent use of the feature, and in any case deleted after two years; generated AI images are kept up to 7 days.
• Gallery pre-selection: When you upload the first image for AI generation, Remini may automatically select other gallery images showing the same person, but those images stay on your device until you decide to upload them.
• Model training: Remini states that your images and videos are not used to train its AI technologies unless you explicitly opt in. The web privacy policy lists training datasets that include user-provided images where users explicitly opted in, and says some features rely on third-party models whose training datasets Remini does not fully see.
• Ownership: Under the Terms, generative AI inputs and outputs are User-Generated Content and, as between you and the company, belong to you.
• Store disclosures: The Google Play data safety section says the app may share personal info and app info and performance with third parties, may collect financial info and photos and videos, encrypts data in transit, and lets users request deletion. The App Store privacy label says identifiers may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies.

FAQ

Q1. Is Remini free to use?

Partly. The app offers limited free access and its Google Play listing shows ads and in-app purchases; premium tools sit behind paid plans, and some features need extra credit packs.

Q2. Can I use Remini images commercially?

Remini Web's Business plan lists commercial use, while the general Terms license the service for personal and non-commercial purposes.

Q3. Does Remini train its AI on my photos?

Not by default. Remini says images and videos are used for training only if you explicitly opt in, and its web privacy policy lists opted-in user images among its training datasets.

Q4. How long does Remini keep my photos?

It depends on the surface. In the app, enhancement uploads are deleted after one day and AI-generation uploads after up to 20 or 7 days from last use; on the web, uploads are deleted after 15 days unless needed for a requested feature.
