AuraLens is an AI-powered photo editor that transforms your images using advanced neural networks. Some effects are processed directly on your device, while others require secure processing on our servers for the best possible quality.
In AuraLens, 1 lens = 1 photo edit. You need a lens each time you apply an AI-powered effect that requires processing.
We use lenses to cover the cost of server-side processing. Each image edit requires computing power, which comes at a real cost for us. This system helps keep the app sustainable while offering generous access to both free and paid users.
Only when necessary. Some features run entirely on your device, ensuring your data stays private. Others — especially those requiring more intensive AI processing — are securely handled on our servers and deleted shortly after processing.
You can wait for your daily lens refill (for free users), enjoy weekly lens refills (if you’re a subscriber), or purchase additional permanent lenses that remain available until you use them. No pressure — you choose what works best for you.
