Upload a few selfies and step straight into the 1990s: teased bangs, letterman jackets, laser-grid backdrops, and that unmistakable school-photo glow.

Perfect nostalgia bait for TikTok and Instagram.

Frequently asked questions
Will it still look like me?
Yes — identity lock is the whole point. The agent reads your uploaded selfies and holds your real features steady while it changes hair, wardrobe and backdrop, so every portrait is recognizably you and not a generic 90s face.
How is this different from a photo filter?
A filter recolors one image. Yearbook Throwback carries a server-side style DNA — the studio lighting, film grain, laser-grid staging and period wardrobe — assembled into every request, so it re-stages you as a full portrait rather than tinting a snapshot. Session memory lets you refine the same face instead of rolling the dice again.
How many selfies do I need?
Three or four is plenty. More angles and even lighting give the agent a stronger read on your face, which makes the identity lock tighter across every outfit and pose.
Is Yearbook Throwback free to try?
You can generate before signing in — the login prompt appears when you send. These are stills, so they cost less than video on the credit system, and you can preview the look before committing.
