The seventeen years, in three bands

Black and white, 1900 to 1940: early roll film, glass plates and film packs, then the roll-film snapshot. Colour film, 1950 to 1990: the first colour prints, colour slides, warm, faded colour film, pocket cameras with flash, drugstore film and disposables. Digital, 2000 to 2025: the first digital cameras with their date stamps, then phones, year by year, from early phone cameras and retro filter apps to portrait mode, night mode and today's phones.

Each year up to 2000 stands for its decade; the six after it are single phone years. Erafy picks a camera or film of that year at random for each picture, so the same year can look a little different on another try. Before 1900 there are twenty crafts instead, and a pet can come along as a person.

Nobody in the examples is a real person — the before photos are invented faces. These are our best results, not average ones. Sometimes AI can't handle it and modifies your face. All we can offer is a try.
