Auto, explained.
One button fixes exposure and white balance, then tells you in plain words what it changed.
Words anyone understands.
Built for people who have never edited a photo, not just for pros.
No jargon
Brightness, warmth, vividness. Every slider says in one line what it does.
It explains every change
After an auto fix you get a list of what changed. Tap a line to jump straight to that setting.
Simple or Full
Beginners start in Simple mode. Switch to Full when you want every control.
A first-run guide
The first time you open the app, a short tour points out each button. Replay it any time.
Natural skin. Blemishes gone.
Face-aware smoothing that keeps texture, even skin tone, and an automatic face lift for backlit shots.
Spot removal you review
Every spot is circled, moles and freckles are left alone. Click a circle to keep it, click skin to remove more.
A retoucher’s check layer
Switch to high-contrast black and white or a frequency-separation view to see every spot. On screen only, never in your export.
Remove objects. Just paint over them.
The app fills the spot from its surroundings. Want to pick the source yourself? Switch to Healing or Clone, just like Lightroom.
Reshape like a retoucher.
Bigger eyes, slimmer nose, sharper jaw, no double chin, following every face automatically. Lengthen legs, liquify and fill thinning hair with a brush.
Longer legs
Drag two lines to the hips and ankles, then move the slider. Legs get longer, head and body stay put.
Liquify brush
Push in a waistline, slim an arm, smooth a fold. Each brush session is one undo step.
Fill thinning hair
Paint over a thin patch or a visible parting. Nearby hair colour fills the gaps.
Cull before you edit.
Duplicates, blur, camera shake, focus that missed the face or the subject, and closed eyes get flagged. You make the call.

Frequently asked questions
Is Fotoreto a good Lightroom alternative?
For editing a whole shoot quickly it is, and it is free: exposure and colour, looks, sync, blemish and object removal, export with a watermark. If you manage years of photos in a catalog or shoot tethered, Lightroom is still the better fit.
Is there a free Capture One alternative?
Fotoreto opens RAW files from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic and DNG, edits the 16-bit RAW data directly on desktop, costs nothing and never uploads your photos.
How does object removal work?
Paint over the object and the app fills it with the surrounding texture, preferring what sits behind the object. Not happy with the result? Press Try another fill. It never invents things that are not in the photo.
Is the app available in English?
The editor interface is in Vietnamese today. An English interface is on the way.
I have never edited photos. Can I use it?
Yes. One click balances exposure and colour, every slider is explained, and a short guide walks you through on first launch.
Is it free?
Yes. Fotoreto is free, needs no account and has no photo limit.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Photos are read and edited on your device. After the first visit it works offline too.
Which files can it open?
JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, TIFF and RAW files from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus and Panasonic, plus DNG.
Is shooting data kept on export?
Yes. Camera, lens and exposure data are kept. GPS location is removed to protect your privacy.
What if I close the page mid-edit?
Come back and press Continue to reopen the same photos with all your edits.
Which browser works best?
Chrome or Edge on desktop give the full experience: export straight to a folder and automatic session restore. Other browsers edit just the same and download files one by one or as a ZIP.

Opens instantly. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. Interface in Vietnamese for now.
