Meitu

What it does.

Meitu is a photo and video editing app focused on retouching, filters, collages and AI-assisted creative changes. The company’s own product directory links Meitu separately from BeautyCam, Wink and its other products. This entry therefore concerns the Meitu app rather than treating all of Meitu Inc.’s imaging tools as interchangeable.

Fits mobile creators and casual editors who want quick visual treatments and are comfortable reviewing their effects on accuracy and representation.

A mobile-oriented collection of presets and editing tools makes experimentation accessible without starting with a complex desktop workflow.
