The whole AI thing sounds futuristic and even apocalyptic, but it needn't be so. AI’s been around for quite some time… we just didn’t know! The term was coined back in 1965 and since then, the technology has kept on getting better and better. Now it’s fitted right into our everyday lives without us even noticing.
It’s impressive how even the small things we hardly ever think about —like the simplest photo editing— have been revolutionized by AI-powered apps. Remini is one such revolutionary app. It’s become widely popular after a TikTok trend made it viral: it allowed users to create resume-worthy, professional-looking headshots just by submitting their own selfies.
Remini: a powerful tool
Creating AI-generated images using filters and special effects is only one of the possibilities with Remini. As its full name states, Remini – AI Photo Enhancer also allows you to boost and restore old or low-quality photos.
The app deals with the most common issues affecting pictures: low resolution, noise, blurriness, lack of color. The result? Outstanding high-definition, sharper and more vibrant shots, which make Remini a must not only for professional or amateur photographers but also for the occasional smartphone snappers.
Device availability
You can enjoy Remini’s multiple features directly on the web, or install the mobile app in your iPhone or iPad devices with iOS 14.0 or later, or Android devices with Android 7.0 or later. Bear in mind that the advanced technology used by Remini for photo enhancement might take up a considerable amount of your device’s storage space and memory to function smoothly.
Trying out the app for free vs. subscription plans
You can get a taste of Remini’s functionalities for free. The problem is, of course, that the limitations are many. For instance, your work will be interrupted by ads, trying to use some features will trigger a subscription popup, and your enhanced photos will be watermarked.
Using the app without all these nuisances and being able to get the best Remini experience requires that you first subscribe by choosing a plan. The duration may be weekly, monthly, or yearly, and at this point you can also activate a free trial, if offered. You’ll be asked to add a payment method to subscribe, but you won’t be charged until the trial is over.
With PRO, you get to enjoy Remini’s full potential. Its features include AI photos and filters, upscaling function, ad-free workflow, unlimited photo enhancements, face retouch, background enhancement, colors, desktop access and video enhancement.
The Lite version, however, doesn’t include video enhancement nor access through your Desktop devices.
Taking advantage of the free trial
There’s an interesting one-time workaround to use some of Remini’s most interesting and popular tools for free, for a limited time. Right when you are asked to subscribe and select a payment method, you can enable a free one-week trial. This way, you won’t be charged until the trial period is over, but you have to make sure you cancel the automatic subscription renewal at least 24 hours before the end date.
Creating your own AI headshots
If you’re wondering how to get your own set of professional headshots to boast on LinkedIn, read on.
- First, you have to upload your selfies. The more photos, the more information the AI will get to “learn” and replicate your facial features. Photos with different backgrounds, face angles and expressions are also good data for Remini.
- Then, you’re prompted to select an image that will “model” the overall style and composition of the photos you’ll get (for that professional vibe, choose the option that best matches your preferences under the “curriculum” subheading).
- After a few minutes, Remini works its magic and generates your personalized pics. It’s easy as 1, 2, 3 —and you didn’t even need to get out of your PJ’s! —
In conclusion
Remini – AI Photo Enhancer is definitely a must-try app for creative photo enthusiasts and professionals alike. It’s easy to use, and the results are fascinating. The only aspect that may make you doubt could be its subscription-based model. However, it’s becoming increasingly common among photo editing apps, and I think Remini’s full capabilities are proven to be worth the investment.
