What you can do

Two inputs, one transition

The effect takes two photos of the same subject — past and present — and generates a smooth morph between them, similar to the image-to-video pipeline but optimized for face transitions.

Identity preserved across the shift

The AI tracks the face between inputs and morphs features gradually, so the transition feels organic instead of glitchy.

Perfect for family and reunion content

Widely used for birthday posts, anniversaries, weight-loss journeys, and nostalgic reels. Tells a story in 8 seconds.

FAQ

Questions & answers

How many photos does the Then & Now effect need?
Two. One older photo of the subject, one current photo. Both should show the face clearly.
What if the two photos are at different angles?
The AI can handle moderate angle differences. Best results come from similar framing — both frontal, both well-lit.
Can I use photos of two different people?
You can, but the effect is designed for one subject at two points in time. Using different people will produce a morph between faces, which some creators actually use intentionally.
How long is the transition video?
About 5–8 seconds. Long enough to feel the shift, short enough to loop cleanly on social.
