This is an inference, not a restoration. The model offers a plausible possibility based on facial structure; it need not match how that person actually looked — particularly with no young photograph to go on. Fine for remembrance, reference and curiosity; not for identification or anything that needs to rest on fact.

Is my photo uploaded?

Yes. This step sends the image on your selected layer to the cloud; the button carries a cloud icon you can see before tapping. If all you want is to mend scratches, undo fading or sharpen a little, the editor's healing brush, clone stamp and sharpen tools run entirely on your device — nothing uploaded, no account, works offline.

The old photo is blurry and damaged — can I go straight in?

Yes, but restoring first works better. Scratches and noise throw off the model's reading of facial structure. Suggested order: run old photo restore for scratches and clarity, then the age rewind. Each step can be undone on its own with Ctrl+Z; to keep both results, duplicate the layer before the next step.

Can it go the other way and show them older?

Yes — just say the direction in the AI assistant chat ("what I'd look like twenty years older"); the “De-age” card itself only goes younger. It's a guess just the same, and the result likewise replaces the selected layer — Ctrl+Z undoes it.

AI Age Rewind

The usual reason people do this is to see what their parents looked like young — not because now isn't good enough

or start a blank document

In old photographs the person is often barely legible, and of the years before that there may be no picture at all. Most people who use this are trying to see what a parent or grandparent looked like young — a stretch of time that left no images behind. Other uses are film and makeup reference and character age design.

This page doesn't hint that you ought to look younger. The result replaces the layer you selected; if you don't like it, just undo (Ctrl+Z). To keep the original, duplicate the layer first (Ctrl+J): the result lands on the copy, hiding it lets you compare, and lowering its opacity gives you just part of the effect. This step sends the layer you selected to the cloud; in the AI panel it carries a cloud icon next to its title.

Key features

It's an inference, not a restoration

The model infers a plausible younger appearance from facial structure — it is not a real historical image. Proportions and bone structure are kept as far as possible, but what you get is a reasonable possibility, not a fact. Fine for remembrance and reference; not evidence.

You set how far back

The “De-age” card has no settings: click “De-age” in the AI panel and this layer goes to the AI assistant; whether you want "back to around thirty" or "just a bit younger", keep talking in the chat — the clearer, the closer. If you duplicated the layer first, lowering the top layer's opacity fine-tunes the strength further.

Compare with the original any time

Duplicate the layer first and the original stays underneath: hide the top layer to compare. Old photos especially deserve a side-by-side — sometimes the expression in the original is the person you remember.

Restore first, then rewind

Old photos often have scratches, fading and blur. Run old photo restore first, then the age rewind, and the result is far steadier. Both steps replace the selected layer; to keep the in-between step, duplicate the layer before the next one.

How to use

1
Drop the photo in

Anywhere on the page catches it. You can also click to pick a file, or press Ctrl+V to paste.
2
Pick the portrait layer

The panel labels layers L1/L2/L3. Old photos usually have just one, so you can go straight on.
3
Hand it to the AI assistant

In the AI panel click “De-age” and this layer goes to the AI assistant; wishes like "back to around thirty" or "ten years younger is enough, keep the expression" go in the chat. This step sends the layer's image to the cloud.
4
Compare and export

If you duplicated the layer first, hide the top layer to see the original and lower its opacity to set the strength. When you're happy, export PNG / JPG / WebP / PSD, no watermark.
