Experience & key features
What Remini is
Remini is an AI photo enhancement and generation app from Bending Spoons, a Milan-based software company; Il Sole 24 Ore dates its launch to 2019. The remini.ai domain redirects to app.remini.ai, a web version operated by AI Creativity S.r.l., a company under Bending Spoons' management and coordination. The app is available on iPhone, iPad, Android and the web.
Key features
App Store product images highlight portraits, an aging effect, yearbook-style photos and a best-shot picker. According to Google Cloud's 14 Nov 2025 press release, Bending Spoons integrated the Gemini Flash Image (Nano Banana) model via Vertex AI; weekly installs rose 175% to 1.16 million and more than 30 new photo packs shipped in under a week. The release says Remini has more than 100 million monthly users.
Pricing and cancelling
The app is free with ads and in-app purchases. On the US App Store, Remini Pro Weekly is $9.99 per week, Lite Weekly ranges from $4.99 to $7.99 per week, and there is a 1 Month item at $9.99. On the Vietnam App Store, Pro Weekly appears at 229,000 and 249,000 VND per week. Plans auto-renew until cancelled; uninstalling does not cancel, and store-bought plans must be cancelled in Apple or Google account settings. Trustpilot (1.5/5, 71 reviews) has many reports of unexpected weekly charges, though these are unverified reviewer claims on a profile the company has not claimed.

Cancellation & refunds
Per the terms (updated 21 Sept 2026), cancelling mid-period brings no refund for the period already paid, and virtual items and consumables are non-refundable. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland there is a 14-day statutory right of withdrawal after signing up or upgrading. Uninstalling does not cancel a subscription; plans bought via the App Store or Google Play must be cancelled in that store's account settings.
Privacy
Remini's privacy policy (updated 21 Sept 2026) says photos and videos uploaded for enhancement are deleted one day after upload or enhancement, and face data used for enhancement is deleted immediately afterwards. For AI generation, uploads and face data are kept up to 20 days with a subscription or 7 days without, with a 2-year outer limit from upload in any case. By default images and videos are not used to train AI; that requires explicit opt-in. Remini says it does not sell data and does not use face data to identify or authenticate people. AI service providers are currently Black Forest Labs, Google and OpenAI; ad partners receive data only if you consent to tracking. The app is not meant for people under 16. The App Store privacy label lists identifiers as used to track you.

Why this score
Upload a photo and go, with high App Store ratings. Many Trustpilot reviewers, however, report difficulty cancelling.
Why this score
Photo enhancement, portraits and themed photo packs, using Gemini Flash Image per Google Cloud's press release. Narrower scope than general photo editors.
Why this score
Paid plans are weekly ($4.99–$9.99 per week on the US App Store); Pro Weekly works out to about $43 a month, far above the $9.99 one-month item. The free version has ads, and Trustpilot repeatedly flags charges.
Why this score
High App Store ratings, but only 4.1/5 on Google Play from about 5.9 million ratings. Google Cloud reports a 175% install increase after the new model integration; one Trustpilot reviewer says areas outside the face get blurred.
Why this score
A help center and cancellation guide exist, but Bending Spoons says it cannot cancel for you when Apple handles billing; Trustpilot describes slow support.
Why this score
The policy is explicit about deletion periods, no AI training by default and no data sales. Points off for face data processing, third-party AI providers and identifiers used for tracking on the App Store label.
