Cymera

Transform everyday selfies with powerful creative tools

Cymera is a feature-packed camera and photo editor focused squarely on making your selfies look their best. It combines a live beauty camera, extensive filters and sophisticated retouching tools in a single, approachable interface that’s easy to pick up even if you’re not a photo-editing pro.

Open the camera and you’re greeted with real-time filters, beauty sliders and seven different lenses, including fisheye and other creative options. Anti-shake, timer and touch shooting make it simple to capture sharp shots, while a handy silent mode lets you take photos discreetly. The standout is the live beauty mode: you can smooth skin, slim your face, reshape features and even tweak your body before you press the shutter, with results that range from natural to glam depending on how far you push the controls.

Once a photo is taken, Cymera turns into a surprisingly deep editor. You get DSLR-style blur, brightness and color controls, skin glow, and special effects like lights and fireworks. The body and face editor can refine proportions, while the “add smile” and eye-enhancing options are fun—though used heavily, they can start to look a bit artificial. Creative extras such as collage layouts, poster templates, MEME editor and text overlays make it easy to build social-ready content, including presets tailored for Instagram squares, blurred backgrounds and covers for popular platforms.

Filter lovers are well served: there are loads of styles, from vintage and film to neon and sketch, and you can bookmark favorites for quick access. Some content is gated behind in-app purchases and there are ads, but the free offering is generous.

Cymera is ideal for anyone who lives in the selfie camera and wants a playful yet powerful toolkit to polish, personalize and share their shots.
