Aging filter — see yourself older, honestly
Upload one photo, say how old you want to look, and the aging filter rebuilds the face at that age while keeping the same person — same bone structure, same eyes, same clothes, same background.
Then read the section below before you judge the result. We ran five requested ages through this aging filter and published every frame, because it does not give you the number you ask for, and nobody else tells you that.

Late twenties to about seventy, in one pass
Before and after
Honest disclosure: the person is not real. We generated the subject rather than photograph anyone — ageing a real stranger's face to advertise a tool is the last thing we would want done to ours. The ageing itself is a genuine run: same model, same prompt you get.

What the aging filter will and will not do
One upload, one description, one pass. Everything here comes from our own runs of the aging filter, including the parts that do not flatter it.
Ask for 15 to 25 years past what you want
The single most useful thing on this page. Every run came back younger than requested — fifteen years at the low end, twenty-five at the high end. Want sixty? Ask for eighty. The aging filter is not broken, it is conservative, and once you know the offset you can aim.
It tops out around seventy
We asked for ninety-five and got a face reading about seventy. Higher numbers stopped buying more age. If you want the deep-old-age look a ninety-year-old has, this aging filter will not reach it.
The person survives, which is the hard part
Bone structure, eye shape and expression carry through every frame above. An aging filter that turns you into a generic old person has failed at the only thing that makes the result interesting.
Going younger works the same way
Ask for eighteen and you get about twenty-four. Same under-shoot, same fix — ask younger than you mean.
It ages the face, not the life
Skin, hair and facial volume change. Weight, posture, glasses and clothing do not, because the prompt says to leave them alone. That is why the older frames still wear a young man's t-shirt.
This is entertainment, not a forecast
How you actually age depends on sun, genetics, smoking, weight and luck — none of it in your photo. The aging filter renders an average path, not your path. A fun picture, never a prediction.
Runs in the browser, nothing to install
Upload, describe, generate, download — laptop or phone. Free credits on signup cover several ages before you decide whether to buy more.
Using the aging filter to make yourself look younger
Same aging filter, reversed instruction, and the same conservative bias — aim past your target here too.
Say the age, not the adjective
“Make me look younger” gets a vague soft-focus version of your own face. “Make me look about eighteen, with smoother fuller skin, no stubble and a rounder face” gets a teenager. Name the age and what changes with it.
Do not confuse it with a beauty filter
The prompt on this page explicitly says not to beautify or smooth, because a de-ageing run that quietly slims your jaw is a retouch wearing a costume. Younger should mean younger, not prettier.

The exact aging filter prompt, published
Most tools here hide the instruction and sell you the button. Ours is pre-filled above and printed in full — you cannot check the calibration claims without it.
What we send
"Age the person in this photo to look about ninety-five years old, with very deep wrinkles all over the face, sparse thin white hair, heavy age spots, hollow cheeks and thin papery skin. Keep the same person — same bone structure, same eye shape, same expression, same clothing, same background — and keep the existing lighting and framing. Do not change their identity or ethnicity, and do not beautify or smooth the result."
Why it says ninety-five
Because ninety-five is what it takes to get seventy. The number is the request, not the outcome — better to explain that than ship a prompt whose number looks wrong next to its own picture.
Name the signs, not just the age
“Age this to 70” leaves the model guessing what seventy means. Listing the signs — deep wrinkles, thin white hair, age spots, hollow cheeks — moved our results more than raising the number did.
Keep the guard rail sentence
Everything after the first sentence protects the person: same bone structure, same expression, same clothing, no beautifying. Delete it and the aging filter drifts into a different human being.
Why publishing the prompt is the point
Paste it into any capable image model and you get a comparable result — we are not pretending otherwise. What we add is the upload, the pre-filled instruction, the credits, and the measurements above.
Aging filter — FAQ
Practical answers, including the things this cannot do.
What is an aging filter?
A tool that redraws the face in your photo at an older age — wrinkles, greying hair, thinner skin — while keeping the same person and scene. Upload one image, name an age, get one picture back.
Is the aging filter free?
Free credits on signup, no card required, and one render costs a few credits — enough for several ages on the same photo. After that it is pay-as-you-go, and credit packs do not expire.
Why does it look younger than the age I asked for?
Because it consistently under-shoots — by fifteen to twenty-five years in every run we measured, all five published above. Ask for eighty if you want sixty.
How old can it make me look?
About seventy in our testing, and asking for ninety-five did not get past it. If you need a genuinely ancient face, this aging filter is not the tool.
How accurate is AI age progression?
Plausible, not predictive. Real ageing is driven by sun, smoking, weight, illness and genetics, none of it visible in a headshot. The aging filter renders the average path for a face shaped like yours.
Can I use it to make myself look younger?
Yes — name the younger age and the signs that go with it. Expect the same conservative bias from the aging filter: our request for eighteen came back reading about twenty-four.
Does it change my face into someone else?
It is instructed not to, and you can check that against the images above rather than trusting it. Bone structure, eye shape and expression carry through every frame. Drift usually means a low-resolution upload.
Can I use this for a missing-person age progression?
No. Forensic age progression is specialist work by trained artists with family photos and medical context. This aging filter is entertainment and must never be presented as evidence.
Which model does it run on?
Nano Banana 2 by default, driven by the published prompt. GPT Image 2 is also available and fails differently — worth a few credits on both if one run disappoints.
Run the aging filter on your own photo
Upload one picture, ask the aging filter for twenty years more than you want, and see the result in about fifteen seconds. Free credits on signup — a real render before you pay for anything.
