Methods to Make Your Images Smile With AI
A smile can make or break an image if you have a really good photo of yourself or a group photo and want to add a smile to a person’s non-smiling face. The following methods can help you fix such images and add a smile using AI. The below-mentioned methods work on Android, iOS, and PC.
Method 1 – FaceApp
The easiest way to add a smile to your or someone else’s photo is through FaceApp. It uses an advanced algorithm to add a smile to a non-smiling face by sending the image to cloud servers, and the data sent is encrypted. Here’s how to use FaceApp to add a smile to your photos.

You can even save a before and after image or choose between four gif transitions revealing the image with a smile.
It also works on images with multiple faces; all you need to do is tap the face you want to smile and then choose a smile preset.
