The Stuttgart-based start-up has a new owner: French digital photo service provider Meero is taking over Autoretouch. The purchase price is unknown.

Alexander Ciorapciu and his team founded Autoretouch in 2019, now it is going to France. As of Jan. 1, the startup is part of French startup Meero, which offers photography services worldwide.

Autoretouch emerged in 2019 as a spin-off from fashion and lifestyle company Breuninger. The startup developed an AI-based technology for automated image processing of product photos. This should make it possible to retouch a large volume of images automatically and quickly. The startup now employs 17 people.

"Our new environment is completely focused on services around the creation and editing of digital images. We are looking forward to the new impulses and application possibilities that await us," says Alexander Ciorapciu, CEO of Autoretouch.

Holger Blecker, CEO of Breuninger, also welcomes the acquisition by Meero. "We are very pleased that Autoretouch has developed into a company of considerable relevance in a very short time. As a founding investor, it was important to us to set the course for independent further development at an early stage," says Blecker.
