Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Shōwa Era photo still look like me?

Yes. The AI is instructed to keep your face shape, features, skin tone and age exactly as they are, and only change the outfit, setting and lighting. A clear, front-facing photo gives the most faithful result.

Which Shōwa Era styles can I choose?

Pick one of the 6 presets — Retro street, Coffee shop, Neon, Film photo and more — or type your own idea in the style box. Leave it blank and the AI uses "Retro street".

Can I use a group photo?

It works best with one person. With a group photo the AI will try to transform everyone, which can reduce how closely each face is preserved.

Is the Shōwa Era Portrait AI free to use?

Creating an account is free, and you can browse the tool without charge. Generating an image uses AI image credits from a one-time credit pack — there is no subscription and credits never expire.

Do I need to sign in to use this?

Yes, you need a free ImageRoute account to generate images. This lets us queue your request and save your result to your gallery.

How long does it take?

Most Shōwa Era generations finish in about 15–40 seconds, depending on server load.
