What file formats and limits are supported?

Learn which file formats can be uploaded to the app, and what the practical limits are for size, resolution, and video duration.

Short answer

You can upload photo formats supported by your device's default apps. There are no strict limits on file size, resolution, or video duration.

  • iPhone: formats supported by the Photos app

  • Android: formats supported by the Gallery app

If a photo does not upload, convert it to a common format such as JPEG.


Supported formats

The app supports photo formats that your device can normally open in its default photo apps.

For example:

  • Photos from your iPhone Photos app

  • Photos from your Android Gallery app

If your device can open the photo normally, it can usually be uploaded to the app.


Formats that are not supported

Some professional photo formats are not supported in the mobile app.

This includes:

  • PSD

  • TIFF

  • RAW

If your photo is in one of these formats, convert it to a common format such as JPEG before uploading.


File size, resolution, and video duration

RetouchMe doesn't enforce strict limits on file size, resolution, or video duration:

  • File size β€” there's no fixed maximum. Practical upload depends on your device's connection and storage.

  • Resolution β€” there's no minimum required, but very low-resolution photos may limit how precisely some edits can be applied. See What Affects the Editing Result.

  • Video duration β€” there's no fixed maximum. Longer videos may take longer to process.

If your file fails to upload, the issue is usually the format, not the size. See above for supported formats.


Professional editing option

If you need to upload professional formats like PSD, TIFF, or RAW, you can use RetouchMe Pro, our web service for professional photographers.

RetouchMe Pro supports advanced editing services such as Portrait Retouching and Wedding Retouching, with photos typically edited within 24 hours.

The safest option is JPEG.

Can I upload PNG or RAW files?

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed limit. If your file fails to upload, check the format first β€” that's usually the cause.
