Facebetter 2.0
2.0 changes auth and puts skin, reshape, makeup, filters, stickers, and virtual background on one parameter set.
Facebetter 2.0 shipped on 9 September 2026. This release turns on-device beauty into an API you can ship: auth, effect parameters, stickers, and virtual background share one processing path. Frames stay on the device and are not uploaded.
Auth
Native SDKs accept a license token, or the appId and appKey from the console. The Web SDK accepts a token only. Your server exchanges it, then sends it to the page. Do not put the appKey in the browser.
Effects
2.0 includes:
- Skin: smoothing, whitening, sharpen, rosy, skin-only, and a few style presets
- Reshape: 26 controls for eyes, nose, face, and mouth
- Makeup: intensity, shape, and color
- LUT filters and 2D stickers (
.fbd) - Virtual background: blur, image replace, and chroma key
iOS, Android, Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and HarmonyOS use the same parameter names.
Integration
Flutter has covered Android and iOS since 2.0. getStats() reports processing time, so you can see whether beauty is the frame that slipped in a live room or a call.
2.0.1, on 15 September, improved Web and Android performance. 2.1, on 21 September, adds body reshape and 3D stickers (glasses, hats) on top of 2.0. Body reshape and 3D stickers need an extra resource pack. The release notes are the spec.
