Will I still look like me?

Yes — the AI preserves your face shape, features, and skin tone. Hair length, wardrobe, lighting, and background change to fit the era. Your identity stays anchored across the morph.

Can I pick a specific decade other than the four shown?

Quick AI uses the four curated eras — they're the ones the AI is tuned for. For specific years (e.g. 1968, 1985), open the project in the full editor and write a custom prompt.

How long is the video?

Around 13 seconds end-to-end. The morph is the focal point; there's a short hold on each end so both versions land.

Can I post it on TikTok or Instagram?

The included track is licensed for royalty-free commercial use. Render in 9:16 portrait via the full editor for Reels and TikTok.

Yes. Signup tokens cover at least one full time-travel video. After that you can top up, or bring your own API keys on the desktop app.

Does it work with sunglasses or face masks?

It works but reads weaker. Photos where the face is fully visible give the strongest identity preservation across the morph.

Can I do this with a photo of someone else as a gift?

Yes — many people generate one for a parent, sibling, or partner as a birthday surprise. Just upload their photo with their permission.

Will the AI invent fashion that didn't exist in that era?

It's tuned on period-accurate references, so the result reads true to the decade. Small details may stylise — but the broad fashion fingerprint (silhouette, palette, film stock) is correct.

Use case

See yourself in another era

Upload one selfie. AI restyles you in 1920s, 1970s, 1990s, or far-future fashion — hair, wardrobe, lighting all true to the decade — then animates the morph between today and back-then.

What you can pick

Hand-tuned variants. Pick the one that fits the moment — the AI handles the rest.

1 1920s

Flapper-era styling, sepia tones, art-deco lighting. Works on any face, especially strong with short hair.

2 1970s

Warm Kodachrome tones, big hair, denim or earth-tone wardrobe. The default for the "rock-and-roll kid" look.

3 1990s

Flannel, choker chains, grainy point-and-shoot film stock. Reads strongest on millennials and gen Z.

4 Future

Neon-edge lighting, sci-fi wardrobe, soft cyan-magenta palette. The "and far ahead too" option.

You've seen the trend — someone shows up in their feed as a flapper, a 70s rock kid, or a 90s slacker, and the comments go wild. The standard tools to do this require five different apps and a half-hour of fiddling. OpenMuse runs one upload, one era pick, one tap. The AI handles the wardrobe, the hairstyle, the film stock, the lighting. You get a short morph video, scored to a nostalgic instrumental, usually in about 4–8 minutes.

Perfect for

Some moments this fits — there are more.

Birthday card for a parent

Send a 70s version of yourself to your dad on his 60th — much funnier than a card.

Viral trend reel

The "if I lived in the 90s" trend lands harder when the video is yours, not a stock filter.

Costume party teaser

A 1920s selfie video makes a stronger themed-party invitation than a flat email.

Milestone birthday surprise

A 1970s version of the birthday person, sent the morning of their 50th, lands every time.

Friendship-group group chat

Send a 90s self to your group chat — guaranteed reaction.

Profile pic refresh

Use a still frame from the future version as a sci-fi avatar.

Tips for the best result

A few small things make a noticeable difference.

1
Front-facing selfie works best
A clear, head-on photo gives the AI the most identity to anchor on. Side profiles and three-quarter angles work too but read slightly softer.
2
Neutral background helps
A plain wall or simple setting lets the era styling carry the look. Busy backgrounds still work but the era cues read stronger when the background is clean.
3
70s and 90s read strongest for most faces
Those two eras have the broadest fashion fingerprint. 1920s reads best with shorter hair, Future works best with a more composed expression.
4
Pair multiple eras into a longer reel
Generate the same selfie in all four eras and stitch them together in the full editor — a "me, across time" reel is more striking than any single decade.

How it works

1
Upload one selfie
A clear, well-lit selfie — front-facing reads strongest but three-quarter angles also work. Indoor or outdoor.
2
Pick an era
1920s, 1970s, 1990s, or Future. Each is hand-tuned with period-accurate wardrobe, hair, and film stock.
3
AI restyles + animates the morph
A new image is generated of you in that era, then animated as a short morph from today to back-then over a nostalgic instrumental.
