 We are now at that stage of photo editing where we need to delegate a lot of tasks onto apps. When it comes to things such as image upscaling, removing backgrounds, dealing with common picture quality issues, and more, users no longer have the time or resources to handle everything. In fact, there are many daily practices that are being automated or delegated to an application, such as scheduling your work appointments and general calendar. The most apparent advantage of such applications is that they save a chunk of your time that you can instead use for other, more complicated tasks. However, this also results in you getting higher quality images. VanceAI is an application that attempts to offer all of the above by making use of its advanced AI technology.

 

VanceAI offers the VanceAI Productivity Series. In simpler terms, the Productivity series is basically a set of tools offered by VanceAI that contains useful, daily image editing tools such as an image upscaler, image quality enhancer, image cropper, and more. The series also has other useful tools such as the passport photo maker. The purpose of this series is to establish a one-stop solution for a bunch of common image editing requirements. With this series in hand, you won’t need to jump around different websites for simple photo editing work. So, if you’re anyone who deals with images, such as a photographer, digital marketing expert, blogger, etc. then this series is for you.

 

Pros:

 

  • Despite having a ton of image editing tools in its arsenal, VanceAI is remarkably affordable and easy to get started with.

 

  • The VanceAI platform is designed with a really helpful UI that also includes the Workspace.

 

  • It is a constantly growing website application that regularly introduces new image editing tools.

 

Cons:

 

  • A few tools work better with the old Workspace while some don’t, which can be confusing for new users.

 

  • A few tools may require you to reload the page on the Workspace as they might stop responding.

What is VanceAI?

The above image is of VanceAI’s comprehensive list of tools that it offers. The Productivity series, though the largest, is simply one part of the VanceAI image editing and enhancement platform. Besides this, VanceAI also offers an Image Editor mode and the Creativity series. When taken altogether, it can be seen why VanceAI is an all-rounder platform with multiple solutions from one app. Another aspect that differentiates VanceAI from most other online platforms is the fact that VanceAI incorporates AI and Machine Learning based algorithms into its tools. These algorithms obviously vary according to the tool itself. However, they all provide common benefits to the user such as automated image processing. In other words, you no longer have to edit or enhance photos by yourself, as the app does it for you.

 

This can be a massive boost to your productivity as you can simply upload a bunch of images on VanceAI and just wait for a short amount of time for the tools to provide the results. Meanwhile, you can safely focus on more complex tasks. The AI technology also makes image editing approachable for users who don’t know how to edit photos in the first place. Most of the time, your images will be processed within seconds though an odd photo may take a minute.

VanceAI Productivity Series Tools Overview with Example Images

The following will be a review of all the tools included in the Productivity series. We will be focusing more towards the features of the tools and the results they provide.

1. Remove Backgrounds with Precision Using BGremover

Removing backgrounds can be quite a hassle, especially if you do not have the proper programs that specialize in such tasks. The thing about removing backgrounds is that you often need highly accurate results so that the object remaining in the picture can still be used. BGremover – AI background remover

makes excellent use of AI technology to give you results that are as accurate as possible. By having this tool, you get more editing options for your photos.

 

You can edit product photos and place that product in another image. Alternatively, you can use the editor offered by BGremover to replace the transparent background with something else, like a scenery background.

 

The example image taken for this tool is a fairly complex one, mostly due to the small lights scattered all over the background. There is a bit of background visible on the After image, but you can easily get rid of it with VanceAI’s eraser feature found in the Image Editor or go ahead and use the moon figure in another image as it is barely noticeable when zoomed to normal.

2. Make Outstanding Portraits with VanceAI Portrait Retoucher

Portraits are one of the most important parts of your profile. They serve as an introduction and if done right, can convey a strong message to the viewer without you needing to say a word. When you observe platforms such as LinkedIn or any other professional digital space, you will notice that users take extra efforts with their portraits. Not to mention that you are most likely to look at a portrait before even clicking on someone’s profile to read about them. With that said, you should definitely have a tool such as VanceAI Portrait Retoucher in your inventory.

 

The Portrait Retoucher adjusts the lighting in the picture and improves the details of the face, such as adding more depth to color and outlines. You can pair this tool and image upscaler to get the perfect size and quality for your portraits.

3. Deal with Blurs Easily with VanceAI Image Sharpener

By using VanceAI Image Sharpener, you can easily optimize the level of blur effects present in your photos. This can be especially useful for photographers and content creators who use professional photographs for their content. Camera lenses or unsuitable camera settings can often cause unnecessary blur effects in a photo. Not to mention that there are different types of blurs that you need to watch out for, making the process of repairing them even more complicated. With VanceAI’s AI and Machine Learning technologies, you can automatically remove blur from images.

 

Moreover, the latest Image Sharpener upgrade has enabled users to tackle different kinds of blur effects individually. You can now upload an image and choose from soft, lens, general, and motion blur to remove any one of the blur effects specifically. This can prove to be a big advantage for photographers as they can now remedy their blur issues much more accurately while also having better control over their images. The AI will also ensure that your images are processed within a few seconds only with good results.

4. Enhance Photo Details by Using VanceAI Image Enhancer

While the previous Image Sharpener tool was for handling excessive blur effects in photos, VanceAI Image Enhancer is a tool that is the best for an overall enhancement of images. You can even upload perfectly normal photos here and simply enhance their quality, as the image above. This can be a pretty useful tool for many purposes. One, this tool can improve the smallest details of an image, which also includes lighting and texts. If you’re someone who uses product photos or similar for business, it is recommended to enhance them through this tool as it will make them sharper and able to portray more detail.

 

Another aspect of this tool is that unlike image upscaling tools, the Image Enhancer doesn’t need to increase resolution size for enhancement. You can see that from the indicator in the pictures. So, you can easily enhance large landscape type images without needing to further increase their size. This example image took only a few seconds to be processed.

5. Deal with Extra Image Noise Easily with VanceAI Image Denoiser

Similar to blur, excessive image noise or even film grain can make an image look distracting rather than aesthetic. You always need a balance when it comes to such photo effects. You can regulate image noise easily with VanceAI Image Denoiser, which is also a VanceAI tool capable of automatically removing or reducing image noise from images.

 

When you upload an image on the Workspace, you will see the options of regulating the amount of image noise removal and sharpness. This is also present in the Image Sharpener workspace as this allows a good level of customization for users. If you want to maintain some image noise in order to get a film grain effect, you can do so with the Image Denoiser. Many online tools tend to remove image noise completely, which may work if you want absolutely no image noise but in most cases, it’s best to have both.

 

As you can see from the example image, the little effects or marks on the photo are meant to create an aesthetic effect, which it does pretty well. With the Image Denoiser, you can further improve the image by reducing the image noise and instead letting the subject have a stronger presence. The woman and the background have much better color in the After image.

6. Create High Resolution and Quality Images with VanceAI Image Upscaler

Increasing image resolutions is something we all need to do from time to time. Finding images on the Internet is too easy though the more challenging part is to find the right image in the right size. Images tend to be too small to be used on any platform. VanceAI Image Upscaler can be a right fit for you in such cases. By using this tool, you can upscale any image to 8 times its original size. If you want an image to be your wallpaper or cover image on an online platform, simply upload the image and choose the level of upscaling you want to do. You should get the result image in a few seconds only.

 

This particular example was upscaled twice its original size. When we look at the images closely, it is apparent that the image upscaler tool is adept at enhancing the quality of an image alongside its resolutions, which is pretty vital as you can’t have an image with big resolutions and low quality.

7. Fine Tune Your Photos with VanceAI Photo Editor

VanceAI Photo Editor is a multi-purpose tool that includes many features that you can use together for refining your images. As mentioned in the previous section of the BGremover, you can bring your images over to this tool and remove the bits of background or color that remains on the object though this won’t be required in most cases. Coming back to the Photo Editor tool, you can find 5 different features available to use. The first is the image cropper, as you may have figured from the image above. Apart from that, you also have the background remover and image enhancer automatic tools in this. You can click on the Eraser icon on the right side to manually remove parts of images.

 

Overall, this tool is a bit different than the rest of the tools on this list. One of the reasons for it is because there is some level of manual editing involved in this tool.

8. Bring Life to Anime Pictures with AI Anime Upscaler

Besides the regular image upscaler, VanceAI also offers VanceAI Anime Upscaler that is equipped with different anime based algorithms that excel in enhancing the quality of such images. The example image on display was upscaled twice its actual size and the tool does manage to improve on the colors of the photo. Not to mention that there is a noticeable absence of blur in the After image as compared to before. This results in the details looking much sharper than before, such as the bird and the various textures on the image. Anime is usually detail driven and as such, needs a comprehensive tool that can do justice to all of that.

9. VanceAI JPEG Artifact Remover Makes Images Look Stunning

VanceAI JPEG Artifact Remover is a highly useful tool for many professionals. Image compression is pretty common when you’re using multiple images for a single project, website, or even a web page. The reason is that compressed images are faster to load. However, compression algorithms differ and give different results. JPEG compression is known to lose a lot of image details and instead replace them with halos or image noise, which is not ideal if you want to use images for people to see. In order to solve this, the JPEG Artifact Remover tool uses an advanced algorithm that goes by SRCNN for best quality results.

 

When we examine this image, we can see that the tool brings back a lot of the color that was edited out or compressed before. There is also a reduced amount of image noise in the image. You can still compress images but it is best to enhance them through this tool before publishing them online.

10. Fix Hazy Images Instantly with VanceAI Photo Dehaze

VanceAI Photo Dehaze is the tool to use when your images have foggy effects and an overall haze taking over your images. This tends to happen with faulty camera lenses or bad camera settings. Either way, too much haze can make your image look like it has faded out or just too cloudy. The Dehaze tool uses AI to quickly detect the haze and then clears it out. You can also choose to do a color optimization along with the haze reduction though the results depend on the image as well.

 

The Photo Dehaze tool removes the excessive haze effect that enveloped the ocean body and altered the color of the image drastically.

11. Optimize Your Images with VanceAI Image Compressor

Continuing from the point made in the previous sections, image compression is an essential step in preparing images for posting online. A good compression algorithm will optimize an image in terms of its size while also maintaining the quality of the image. If it fails to do so, the image will not be good enough to be used online. VanceAI Image Compressor makes sure that it truly optimizes an image in all aspects. Not to mention that by using advanced algorithms for image processing, the Image Compressor is able to produce results in a matter of seconds. If you’re a paid user, you could compress multiple images at once, saving you a lot of time and effort.

 

You simply have to upload your photo by using the Upload Image button and the tool will automatically compress your image within a few seconds.

12. Create Passport Photos Easily with VanceAI Passport Photo Maker

The final tool on the Productivity series is VanceAI Passport Photo Maker. Making passport photos can turn out to be a tedious task if you’re already swarmed with other work. Not to mention the extra time it takes to go to the photo studio. With this tool, you simply have to take a photo of yourself and follow the 5 simple steps. This simple process will save you a ton of time. Even if your photo doesn’t have a white background, you can use the background feature in the Passport Photo Maker tool to get the white background. Besides that, you can pre-select your preferred country to get the accurate dimensions automatically.

VanceAI Pricing

VanceAI offers 3 image credits free of cost per month to all of its users. You can create an account on VanceAI in a minute with your Google account or manually.

 

As for paid options, VanceAI offers enough options suitable for all kinds of users. If you opt for an annual plan, the cost will be $5.94 per month with 100 image credits provided with additional features. The monthly and half-yearly plans cost $9.90 and $7.42 per month for 100 image credits. You can also have 200 image credits for $24.99. All paid options can be upgraded at a higher cost for more image credits.

VanceAI Alternatives

VanceAI offers alternative platforms that can perform the basic operations of their original VanceAI tool counterparts but won’t have any additional features that the VanceAI tools offer. You can visit photoenhancer.ai to improve image quality without upscaling it. If you want an alternative to the Image Upscaler, you can instead visit image-upscaler.com. Apart from these platforms, VanceAI also provides an online based PDF processing website that is totally free to use. Visit VancePDF.com to use the tool.

Final Thoughts

VanceAI Productivity series is an extremely useful series that every user should have. It doesn’t matter if you’re just a casual user or a full-time professional who requires new images pretty regularly. VanceAI has designed its tool list as well as subscriptions in a way that is welcoming to both kinds of users. Each tool is aptly powered by AI algorithms, enabling them to perform highly and offer useful results. VanceAI also tends to introduce newer updates and tools, which only improves user experience. Wrapping up all of these features with an affordable $5.94 per month price tag makes a great deal.
