Services · Mobile app development · AI image editing apps
Codeeo handles AI photo editing app development in Riyadh for retailers, media teams, property marketers, studios and founders who want their own editing product. We build the mobile app, the AI pipeline behind it and the admin system that controls it: background removal, retouching, enhancement, Arabic text on images and brand templates. Riyadh businesses produce a huge volume of visual content for launches, seasons and campaigns, and an app built around your workflow turns that volume into something your team can manage.
Part of our team of 80+ works from Riyadh, alongside colleagues in Dubai and Karachi. That means workshops in person when they help, Arabic first design from people who use Arabic apps every day, and a delivery team that understands how decisions get made in the capital.

What we build
Most AI photo apps fail in the same place: they demo well and then fall apart when a marketing coordinator needs forty product shots ready before a launch at a mall on King Fahd Road. A useful editing app is judged on repeat work, not on one impressive filter.
So we start with the images your users edit most often. For a Riyadh retailer that is usually catalogue photography. For a property developer it is renders and site photos. For a corporate team in the King Abdullah Financial District it is portraits, event shots and branded social posts. Each feature below can be built on device, in the cloud or as a mix of both, and we explain the trade off in speed, privacy and running cost before you commit. The admin dashboard sits behind everything, so you control which models run, what users can generate and how usage is billed.
Clean cut outs of clothing, perfume bottles, electronics and furniture, with edge handling for hair, glass and fine fabric. Batch mode lets a merchandiser drop a folder of shots and get consistent white, coloured or scene backgrounds back, sized for your online store and marketplace listings.
Product photography ready for listing without a retoucher on every shot.
An editor that sets Arabic correctly: right to left layout, proper letter joining, mixed Arabic and English lines, and fonts licensed for commercial use. Teams add offers, captions and event details without the broken lettering that generic editors still produce.
Arabic captions that look designed, not pasted.
Locked templates with your logo, colours, fonts and approved layouts. Staff across departments create posts and internal announcements, and the app keeps every output inside the brand rules your marketing team sets in the dashboard.
Consistent visuals from people who are not designers.
Lighting correction, background replacement and gentle skin retouching for staff profiles, speaker bios and LinkedIn headshots. We tune the model to keep faces recognisable and natural, and we can apply modest dress and styling rules your organisation expects.
Polished headshots without booking a studio for each new hire.
Sky replacement, perspective correction, clutter removal and lighting balance for apartments, villas and compounds. Every AI edit is recorded, and the app can label enhanced images so marketing material stays honest about what a buyer will see.
Sharper listings with a clear record of what was changed.
Riyadh Season, exhibitions and product launches generate thousands of photos in a few days. Fast culling, auto enhancement, face blur on request and ready formats for stories, posts and print let a small team turn an event around overnight.
Event galleries published while people still care about the event.
Remove a stray sign, extend a background for a banner crop or replace a dull wall. Prompts work in Arabic and English, and content filters block outputs that conflict with your policies or with Saudi content norms.
Fewer reshoots for small problems.
Free tiers, monthly plans and credit packs for heavy AI features, with in app purchase on iOS and Android and mada or Apple Pay on the web. The dashboard shows which features cost you most in compute so pricing stays healthy.
Revenue that covers the real cost of each AI edit.
Edited images move from creator to reviewer to publisher, with comments pinned to the exact part of the image that needs work. Managers approve from their phone between meetings, and the final file is pushed to your digital asset library or social scheduler with the approval recorded against it.
Nothing reaches a public channel without the right sign off.
A web dashboard to switch models, set limits per user, review flagged images, manage teams and export reports. Support staff can see what went wrong with a failed edit without seeing private images they have no reason to open.
Control over cost, quality and content in one place.
Who this suits
The capital has a particular mix of buyers: large organisations with formal approval chains, fast moving retail and hospitality brands, and a growing number of local founders building consumer products for the whole Kingdom. Each needs a different first release. Here is how we usually shape the project for each one, and where the work tends to get harder than people expect.
Brands selling through their own store and through marketplaces need hundreds of consistent product images every month. We build batch editing for merchandisers, with background styles, shadows and crops saved as presets per channel. The app connects to your product information system so edited images land in the right listing. The hard part is consistency across photographers and lighting setups, so we test the pipeline on your real shoots from Riyadh studios before launch, not on stock samples.
Bring a month of real product shots to discovery.
Organisations headquartered in Riyadh often have strict brand books, several approval layers and sensitive images of senior people. We build internal editing apps with single sign on, role based approvals and locked templates. Images stay in your own cloud tenancy, and nothing is sent to a third party model unless your security team has approved it. Audit logs show who edited and published each image.
Your information security team should join the first workshop, so approval rules are settled early.
Projects across north Riyadh and new districts need visuals long before handover. We build tools that clean site photos, finish renders and produce listing images for sales teams, with labels and edit history so marketing stays defensible. The same app can create brochure layouts in Arabic and English from approved templates.
Bring your sales team's current listing workflow to discovery.
If you are launching an editing product for Saudi users, the questions are different: which features justify a subscription, how to keep AI costs below revenue, and how to stand out against global apps. We help you pick a sharp first feature set, often Arabic text, modest portrait styles or local templates, build it properly and measure what users actually pay for before adding more.
A narrow first release is easier to price and market.
Ways to work with us
Most Riyadh clients begin with a fixed scope first release covering the app, the AI pipeline and the dashboard. After launch, a monthly retainer covers model updates, new features and support, which matters because AI models change faster than most software. Organisations with a long roadmap sometimes take a dedicated team of designers, mobile developers and machine learning engineers who work as an extension of their own staff. Whichever route you choose, the contract states who owns the code, the models' configuration and the data. For organisations in Riyadh with procurement rules, we can structure the first phase as a paid discovery with its own deliverables, so the full build is approved on evidence rather than on a sales deck.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Flutter or native Swift and Kotlin for the app, on device models through Core ML and TensorFlow Lite where speed and privacy matter, and cloud GPU services for heavier generation. Hosting can sit in a cloud region inside the Kingdom when your data policy requires it, and the dashboard runs as a web app your Riyadh staff open from any browser.

A mixed team, with Riyadh based people leading workshops and client contact.
Codeeo has a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. For Riyadh clients, colleagues in the city run discovery sessions and reviews in person when that helps, while design, mobile and AI engineers work across our offices. You get one project lead, a shared board you can see at any time and regular builds to test, so the location of each engineer never slows down a decision.
