Will it turn the face plastic?

That depends on where you paint and how many coats. Each pass is only a light softening, but it does not preserve edges: paint only skin, keep off facial contours and the hairline, and stop once it looks smooth, and pore texture won't vanish all at once; if you overdo it, press Ctrl+Z or switch to «Erase» to bring back the original. For smoothing that avoids edges automatically, use Surface Blur in the full editor (a bilateral filter, radius 1–20, threshold 2–255), creeping up from the default threshold of 25.

How do I remove a blemish?

The softening brush on this page can only make a blemish softer and fainter; it cannot click it away. To really remove it, go to the full editor («Pro editor», top right) and use the Spot Healing Brush (shortcut J): click or drag over the spot and that's it — it needs no sampling first and blends in the surrounding skin on its own.

Is there a one-click smoothing button?

Not on this page. It is a softening brush: it smooths where you paint, and more coats make it smoother. In the full editor you can combine two tools: the Spot Healing Brush clicks away individual blemishes, and Surface Blur (radius 1–20, threshold 2–255) does edge-preserving smoothing across the face — a few more steps than one click, but blemishes and skin texture stay under separate control. Or use the cloud «AI Beautify» for a one-click result, which uses AI credits.

Smooth skin and soften blemishes

Soften exactly where you paint. Local processing, nothing uploaded.

The easiest way to ruin a portrait is smoothing too far: the blemishes go, and so do the pores, the skin texture and the turn of the nose — the face becomes plastic. The controllable approach is to soften lightly only where it's needed, building up pass by pass and stopping once it looks right; clicking individual spots away one by one is a job for the Spot Healing Brush in the full editor.

This page is a softening brush: paint over the skin you want smoother and, when you let go, the painted area gets one light 3×3 average softening; «Strength» 10–100 sets how much of the softened result is blended in, and more coats make it smoother. It does not detect blemishes and does not preserve edges — paint over eye contours, eyebrows or the hairline and they get softened too, so paint only skin; if you overdo it, switch to «Erase» to bring that patch back to the original, and Ctrl+Z steps back one stroke. To click away individual blemishes or smooth the whole face while keeping edges, go to the full editor («Pro editor», top right): the Spot Healing Brush (shortcut J) needs just a click or drag over a spot and blends in the surrounding skin, no sampling first; Surface Blur (radius 1–20, threshold 2–255) is an edge-preserving bilateral filter that only flattens differences below the threshold, leaving facial contours intact — start from the default threshold of 25 and creep up. It all runs in your own browser; the photo is never uploaded.

Paint skin only

Stay off the eyes, eyebrows, lips and hairline — this brush does not preserve edges, so they would get softened too; hold the \ key on a desktop or long-press the result on a phone to compare.
