Then and Now Photo Generator

The then and now photo tool works excellently with famous landmarks, university campuses, historic city centers, and well-known architectural sites. Locations with rich historical significance like Oxford University, the Shanghai Bund, the Colosseum, or your alma mater tend to produce the most compelling then and now photo results. The then and now photo AI leverages its knowledge of historical architecture and fashion to create accurate era-appropriate scenes for every then and now photo project.

Our AI has been trained on extensive historical imagery and architectural knowledge. It generates period-appropriate buildings, clothing, transportation, and technology for each era. While the results are highly convincing for creative and educational purposes, they represent artistic interpretations rather than historically documented scenes. The AI excels at capturing the essence and atmosphere of different time periods.

Yes, you can use the Custom era option to specify exact years like '1920s vs 2025' or '1850 vs present day' for your time travel photo. The preset options (100 Years Ago, 200 Years Ago, Medieval Era, Ancient Times) cover the most popular comparisons for time travel photo creation, but custom input gives you full creative control over the time periods you want to blend in your time travel photo.

Choose 1080P (50 credits) for social media sharing and quick previews. Select 2K (60 credits) for professional presentations and higher-quality prints. Use 4K (80 credits) for maximum detail, large prints, and commercial use where image quality is paramount.

Most time travel photo apps place a person into a historical costume or scene. Our then and now photo generator is fundamentally different: it creates scene-level time-space fusion where the same location is shown across two eras in one seamless then and now photo. People from different eras interact naturally in the scene, and architecture morphs smoothly from historical to modern. This then and now photo technology creates a unique 'time warp' effect rather than simple costume changes, making each then and now photo truly unique.

Yes, all generated images can be used for commercial purposes including marketing materials, educational content, social media campaigns, city promotion, and tourism advertising. The images you generate are yours to use. Please refer to our Terms of Service for complete commercial usage guidelines.

Generation typically takes 30-60 seconds depending on scene complexity and server load. The AI processes your location input, researches historical context, generates era-appropriate elements, and seamlessly blends two time periods into one cohesive image. The result is delivered as a high-resolution download-ready file.

Each generation may produce slightly different interpretations of the same location and era combination in your time travel photo. If the first result doesn't meet your expectations for your time travel photo, you can regenerate with different era settings, adjust your location description to be more specific, or try uploading a reference image for guidance. Credits are only charged for successful time travel photo generations. Our time travel photo generator learns from your feedback to improve future results.
