AI Photo Editor App

Ai Photo Editor App apified to Nanobana with more than 60M views on TikTok and +15K$ in revenue.

In plain English

A quick photo edit is the idea behind Manu's phone app. You pick a photo change, peek at a free preview, and pay a weekly or yearly subscription if you want the finished picture. People pay because they want the photo improved without learning a complicated editor. The AI does most of the editing, the billing, and the start of a new account. Manu still checks quality, answers support questions, and works on being found through short videos and the phone's app store.
