The Chinese software Meitu has been available since 2008, but it only recently launched in the US. Outside of China, it already has roughly 430 million users. For its 456 million monthly active users worldwide, it has been installed on 1.1 billion devices and has produced over 6 billion beautified photographs. Due to the fact that so many people appear to be using Meitu, you have probably seen these images on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Read this article to know everything about Meitu!
It is an iOS and Android photo-editing app that is free. Your actual face and a virtual appearance are combined using facial recognition and augmented reality. The name Meitu translates to “lovely image.” It is said to be a “one-touch photoshop for boosting your appearance” and is intended to give your selfies a “hand-drawn effect.” We believe it gives you an anime-like appearance, complete with enlarged eyes and narrower jaws.
Meitu’s creator, who last year raised $4.5 billion in an IPO, also created the well-known apps AirBrush and MakeupPlus, both of which make use of its unique technology.
The iOS version of Meitu was reviewed by Pocket-lint in the US.
When you download and launch Meitu, it will immediately take you to the main “hand-drawn” experience. This is where you can make a selfie similar to those seen at the top of this post. The following menu items will appear on the main screen every time after that, though:
The software has received excellent comments from users, and the US app store now rates it as five stars. You’ll be amazed by how smoothly the app functions, even though the novelty of it may rapidly wear off. Moreover, it’s just fascinating to view yourself in a completely different light, similar to those adored Snapchat lenses. There is no excuse not to at least give the app a try since it is freely available on both the iOS and Android app stores. The iMessage App Store is also supported by the iOS version.
