AI aging filter: turn one selfie into a vertical video of you slowly growing old, or run it in reverse to watch yourself get younger.
Use a front-facing photo of one adult in even light, with the face clearly visible: no sunglasses, masks or hands in front of the face.
Each clip was made with this tool from one photo and the Age up preset, at the default settings. The people in the examples are AI-generated, not real.
Long dark hair turns grey and then silver, and lines form around the eyes and mouth, while the sweater and backdrop stay put.
Try thisThe hair and stubble grey and thin out and the face gets leaner, in one continuous shot with no cuts.
Try thisWrinkles deepen and skin loosens gradually, and the face stays clearly the same person from start to finish.
Try thisOne selfie, one direction, one video.
Add a clear, front-facing photo of yourself, or of an adult who agreed to it. Even light and a visible face give the best result.
Age up shows you slowly growing old; Age back runs the other way and makes you look younger. Open Advanced options to change the model, length, aspect ratio, sound or prompt.
Press Generate. The finished vertical MP4 appears here and in My Creations after a few minutes, ready to download and post.
Three names people use for the same kind of effect, and what each one means here.
An aging filter takes a photo of your face and shows it older: greyer hair, deeper lines, looser skin. Most apps return a single still image. This one makes a short video, so you watch the change happen instead of only seeing the end result.
Because the change is spread over the whole clip, small details such as a thinning hairline or crow's feet forming are easier to notice than in a before-and-after pair. Choose Age back to run the same effect in reverse.
Face aging is the general name for software that changes how old a face looks while keeping it recognizably the same person. Adding wrinkles and grey hair is the easy part; keeping the eyes, nose, jawline and expression yours is the hard part.
Here the prompt keeps the face identity, clothes, background and camera fixed, so age is the only thing that changes. That is also why a clear, front-facing photo matters: the more of your face the model can see, the more of it stays.
Old age filter is what many people search for when they want to see themselves as a grandparent. The Age up preset aims for old age, but it does not promise a number: how far a face goes depends on the photo, and in our tests most faces ended up looking somewhere in their sixties or seventies.
Treat the result as a playful effect, not a forecast. It shows common signs of aging on your face, not how your own face will actually change.
It turns one photo into a short video in which the same person gradually ages over the whole clip, or gets younger if you choose Age back.
Keeps you recognizable
The face identity, clothes, background and camera stay fixed; only age-related features change.
A gradual change, not a cut
Hair turns grey, then white, and thins; wrinkles deepen around the eyes and mouth; skin loosens and age spots appear, all in one continuous shot.
Works in both directions
Age back darkens the hair, softens lines and smooths the skin, ending as a young adult. It never shows anyone as a child.
Made for vertical video
Vertical 9:16 by default, with 1:1 and 16:9 available, 4 to 15 seconds on Standard or up to 30 seconds on Extended, with optional sound.
Consent and portrait rights
Only use photos you have the right to use, and only upload a real person with their consent: yourself, or an adult who agreed to it. Do not use the tool to impersonate someone or to mislead people.
Straight answers before you make your first aging video.
Upload one clear selfie and press Generate. The video starts on your photo and slowly adds grey and then white hair, deeper lines around the eyes and mouth, looser skin and age spots, while your face, clothes and background stay the same. It is an artistic take built from common signs of aging, not a picture of your actual future.
It is not a prediction. The aging filter is an entertainment effect: it applies typical signs of aging to your face, but it knows nothing about your genes, health, habits or sun exposure, so it cannot tell how you will really look. Don't use it for medical, forensic or identification purposes.
No, and there is no age setting on purpose. In our own tests, asking the model to go to 80 produced faces that looked roughly 60 to 70 for most people. Each clip ages the face as far as it convincingly can, and the result varies from photo to photo.
Yes. Pick Age back instead of Age up and the clip runs the other way: hair darkens and fills out, lines soften and skin smooths, ending as a young adult. It never turns anyone into a child.
A front-facing photo of one adult in even light, with the face clearly visible and not covered: no sunglasses, masks, low hats or hands in front of the face. Head-and-shoulders framing works best. JPG, PNG or WEBP files up to 10MB.
Each video costs credits, and the exact number is shown on the Generate button before you start. Standard uses 8 credits per second at 480p and 16 at 720p, so the default 8-second 720p video uses 128 credits. Extended uses 28 per second at 480p, 63 at 720p and 158 at 1080p. Sound doesn't change the price, and if a video fails the credits are returned automatically.
A video: a vertical MP4 by default, with square and widescreen also available. If you want a still of the older you, pause near the end of the clip and take a screenshot, or export the last frame in any video editor.
Most videos are ready within a few minutes, and you can close the page while it renders; the finished video waits in My Creations. Powered by Seedance 2.0 Mini by default.
Only with their permission. Upload photos of yourself, or of an adult who agreed to it, and don't use the result to impersonate or mislead anyone. See the note on consent and portrait rights.
Your photo is uploaded only to make your video and is deleted automatically 14 days after upload. The finished video is kept in My Creations for up to 90 days, or until you delete it there.
Face aging is the broad technique of changing how old a face looks, in either direction. An aging filter is the consumer effect you apply to a selfie for fun. Age progression is the term used in forensics and research for estimating how a specific person will look years later, usually from their own and their family's photos. This tool is an aging filter, not an age-progression tool.
One selfie is all it takes. Pick Age up or Age back and get a video worth posting.
