A few things before you travel back

Do I need to write a prompt or choose a style?

No. The 80s look is already set up for this tool. Add your photo and start the generation. Each generation makes one portrait; the three example looks are illustrations, not selectable styles.

How close will the portrait look to me?

The generator uses your photo as its reference, but facial details can vary. A sharp, well-lit image gives it more useful detail to work with. Compare the result with your original before sharing.

Can I use an ordinary phone selfie?

Yes. Choose one with your face in focus and little obstruction from sunglasses, hair, or shadows. Upload one JPG, PNG or WebP. Your browser compresses it before uploading, so you do not need a professional headshot.

What does an 80s photo cost?

Each generation costs 15 credits, including one reference photo. Photo uploads unlock with any paid plan or credit pack; free starter credits alone do not unlock this tool. The cost appears before you generate. Your account’s generation and concurrency limits still apply.

How do I save the result or make another one?

Use Download 80s photo below your finished portrait to save the original output. Make another 80s photo reuses your uploaded photo and costs 15 credits. If your upload is no longer available, upload it again.

What happens if generation fails?

A failed generation releases its held credits. You can try again with the same photo. If the connection drops before a result arrives, use Check my request to recover that request before starting another generation.

How long are my photos stored?

Reference uploads are private and scheduled for deletion after one day. Generated portraits use your account’s retention rules: kept while a subscription is active, 90 days after it ends, or 365 days after the latest credit-pack purchase, with the longest applicable window used. My Creations shows the expiry for each image. Download a copy you want to keep.

You missed the photo. You can still get the look.

Pick a portrait from your camera roll and imagine the 80s version of you.
