RETRO 80'S — TURN ANY PHOTO INTO A 1980s PHOTOGRAPH
Big hair. Neon. Grain. Flash. Retro 80's takes one photo from your camera roll and hands it back like it was shot in 1986 — a yearbook portrait, a prom night snapshot, a Miami sunset, a neon-lit nightclub. No filters to stack, no presets to tweak, no editing skills. Pick a look, tap Generate, and watch a whole decade land on your face in seconds.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a style from the catalog.
2. Add your photo — from your gallery or straight from the camera.
3. Tap Generate. Your retro portrait is ready in seconds.
That's it. No sliders, no layers, no learning curve.

NOT JUST SELFIES
Every style is framed for whoever is actually in the picture — Portrait, Couple, Pet or Group. Send your partner to prom in 1987, put the whole family in matching sweaters in front of a blue fog backdrop, or give the dog its own mall glamour shot. Filter the catalog by category and find the look that fits the photo you already have.
YOU CONTROL THE OUTPUT
• Aspect ratio: Auto, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 — ready for stories, feeds or wallpapers.
• Resolution: 1K, 2K or 4K. Post it, print it, or set it as your lock screen.
WHY IT LOOKS LIKE 1986
Each style is written by hand, not scraped from a filter pack — wardrobe, hair, backdrop, lighting and film stock are all part of the recipe. Acid Wash Crew comes back yellowed and creased like a print pulled out of a family album. VHS Tape gets its scan lines and static. Yearbook '86 gets the blue-to-purple laser backdrop and the soft studio flash. And through all of it, your face still looks like your face.

YOUR OWN LIBRARY
Every photo you create lands in your personal library, newest first. Come back any time to save it to your phone's gallery, send it out through the share sheet — Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, anywhere — or delete it for good. Nothing gets lost between sessions.
PRO & CREDITS
Retro 80's runs on credits. A Pro subscription refills your balance on every renewal — 3,000 credits weekly or 30,000 yearly — and you can top up any time with a one-off credit pack (1,200 / 3,000 / 6,000 credits). Bigger output costs more: 1K, 2K and 4K each have their own price, and you always see your balance before you commit. Credits are only spent when a picture actually lands — if a generation fails, you keep them.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Google Play → Subscriptions. Already subscribed on another device? Settings → Restore Purchases.
BUILT FOR SPEED
The heavy lifting happens in the cloud, so an old phone works as well as a new one. Android 8.0 and up.
PRIVACY
Your photos stay yours. An upload is used for one thing only: making the picture you asked for. Delete anything from your library whenever you like.
