What is Lensa?
Lensa is an AI photo editor from Prisma Labs that helps people edit selfies and photos for social media, especially Instagram feeds. It runs as a mobile app on iOS and Android, and the site lists more than 70 million downloads.
The app comes with one-tap effects and presets such as Golden Hour, Halo Flash, Disposable and G7X. Each one applies a full color, light and mood grade at once. A beauty toolkit adds Hollywood, Hair Boost and Makeup effects. The Eraser removes photobombers, power lines or crowds and rebuilds the background behind them. The Enhancer upscales low-resolution or heavily cropped images and fixes dark shots. A hair try-on feature shows how cuts like a bob or pixie would look, using a single selfie.
Lensa is built for casual creators and social media users who want polished photos without learning desktop editing software.
