One selfie in · Retro class portrait out · Cost shown before you generate
90s Yearbook Photos
Upload one selfie and turn it into a cheesy nineties class portrait — keep your face, pick the era, and see the credit cost before you generate.
Upload one clear selfie and the model drops you onto the mottled laser backdrop with feathered hair, still unmistakably you.
Early-nineties grunge, late-nineties glamour shot, an eighties throwback, a soft-focus glow — describe it and steer the look instead of guessing.
The credit estimate appears up front, and a failed generation is never charged.
90s Yearbook Photos
One selfie, a class portrait
A real edit made on Kavel with the same model this tool uses. Drag the divider to compare the modern selfie with the retro result. Every output is AI-generated, so your finished picture varies with your photo, your prompt, and the decade you describe — treat this as a preview of what the tool can do, not a fixed result.

From one selfie to a dated school portrait, with the cost shown before you commit.
Upload a selfie
Add one clear photo with your face and shoulders visible. Even light and a plain background give the model the most to restyle.
Describe the decade
Set the era: a mottled laser backdrop, feathered hair, a sweater over a collar, soft-focus glow, faded print colour. Specific direction keeps the styling on-brief.
Check credits and generate
Confirm the estimate, generate the portrait, and download it. If a run fails, it is free, so you can adjust and try another decade.

Yearbook photo FAQ
Common questions about turning a selfie into a retro class portrait with Kavel.
It restyles one selfie as a dated school portrait — the mottled laser backdrop, the soft-focus glow, the feathered hair, the faded print colour — while keeping your face and expression recognizable. On Kavel it runs on the Nano Banana image model, and the credit cost is shown before you generate.
You get free credits to try the studio when you sign up, and a failed generation is never charged. Beyond the free credits, an edit spends credits based on the resolution and count, and the estimate always appears before you generate.
Use one clear selfie with your face and shoulders visible, even lighting, and a plain background. A sharp, head-on shot gives the model the most to restyle, so the retro portrait still looks like you under the dated hair.
Yes. Describe it in the prompt: early-nineties grunge, a late-nineties glamour shot, an eighties throwback, a heavy soft-focus glow. The more specific the brief, the closer the styling lands to the era you pictured.
Be specific: name the backdrop, the hair, the clothing, and the print quality, and mention keeping your face unchanged. Detailed direction keeps the styling on-brief, and because failed runs are free, you can refine the prompt and try again. A clear, evenly lit starting selfie also helps the model build a believable throwback.
No. The same studio also changes hair, swaps outfits, and turns photos into stickers, so one workflow covers a range of edits well beyond a single decade.
