Decade Portrait is a costume shoot and a darkroom in one. Upload a photo and choose a decade; the Studio restyles your hair and clothes for the era and re-photographs you with the camera and print of the time. The 1920s become a sepia studio portrait with finger waves and an art-deco backdrop. The 1950s are Kodachrome pastels outside a diner. The 1980s are a mall-studio laser grid with big hair and glossy flash. Your face stays exactly recognizable throughout — the decade changes around you, not the person.
Nine decades are available, each written as a full period brief: 1930s Hollywood glamour with butterfly lighting, 1940s wartime monochrome, 1960s mod with a pop-art backdrop, 1970s warm faded film with light leaks, 1990s point-and-shoot flash, and early-2000s digicam with rhinestones. Costume and hair are matched to the era and to you, and the print characteristics — grain, tone, halation, overexposure — are rendered rather than faked with a filter. The output keeps the aspect ratio of your photo.
A Standard run costs 4 credits and takes seconds; Pro and Max finishes render fabric, hair and film grain with more fidelity, which shows in prints. Decade Portrait is a favorite for themed parties, birthday cards, family history projects and social series — run the same selfie through five decades and post the timeline. For a period shoot with your own setting and outfit, AI Photoshoot's Vintage Film preset accepts free-text direction.

Good to know
Will it change my face to match the era?
No. Hair, clothes, lighting and print style change; your face, features and skin tone stay yours. That is what makes the result funny and moving at the same time.
Can I do a couple or group in one decade?
Yes. Every person in the photo is restyled for the same era. For a couple made from separate selfies, shoot Couple Photos first, then send the result here.
Which decade prints best?
1930s and 1950s render beautifully at Pro finish because the studio lighting and film palettes are so distinct. Upscale to 16 MP for a framed print.
Is the 1920s result black and white?
Sepia-toned, as period studio prints were. The 1930s and 1940s presets are monochrome; color begins with the 1950s Kodachrome look.
Can I try Decade Portrait without paying?
Yes. A new account comes with 4 free credits — one Standard run of Decade Portrait or any other tool — and no card is needed.
