lensa

Lensa is a term with several distinct uses. In Indonesian and Malay, lensa means lens, the optical element that concentrates light to form an image. More broadly, a lens is a curved piece of glass or other material that refracts light, used in cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and other optical devices. Lenses are characterized by focal length, aperture, construction, and coatings.

Lensa is also the name of a mobile photo editing application developed by Prisma Labs. Available for iOS and Android, Lensa provides AI-powered tools for portrait editing, including skin retouching, blemish removal, teeth whitening, eye enhancement, and background editing. Users can apply automatic adjustments or customize features, and the app offers various filters and ready-made looks to alter images.

Since its release, Lensa has been widely used by individuals seeking quick, professional-looking portrait edits. The application illustrates the growing role of artificial intelligence in consumer photo editing and has prompted discussion about data use and privacy in AI-powered image tools.

Beyond the software, lensa as a word exists in Indonesian and Malay as the term for lens, used in the context of cameras and optics.
