What Lensa is

Lensa, from Prisma Labs, is a selfie and portrait editor for iOS and Android. It offers beauty retouching, an eraser, an enhancer, hair try-on and AI avatars.

What Lensa is good at

  • Realistic selfie retouching (skin, hair, makeup)
  • Object erasing that rebuilds the background
  • One-time avatar packs

Where Soracai is different

  • Soracai makes short videos from a photo; Lensa applies filters to video but does not generate it.
  • Every effect is its own page with the uploader on it (63 today), so you pick the look first and never write a prompt.
  • Soracai runs in the browser on any device, with no install.
  • If a generation fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically.
