  • Beautification — smoothing, whitening, face slimming, eye enlarging
  • Age transform — age or de-age a portrait
  • Gender transform — swap perceived facial gender characteristics
  • Face swap — move a source face onto a target image (with optional async webhook)
  • Cartoonize — render a portrait in animated / cartoon style
  • Liveness detection — distinguish live captures from printed / screen photos
