## What it does

Upload an old photo of the two of you and a recent one, and the years melt away in one smooth move from then to now.

## From our test

We used a faded 90s beach photo of a young couple and a recent beach photo of the same couple, and the clip moved from the old print to the new photo in one continuous move.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use two photos with similar framing.
- A matching pose then and now makes it magic.
- Scanned prints work great for the then photo.

## Ideas for using it

- An anniversary post.
- A wedding slideshow moment.
- A gift for parents or grandparents.

## Your first photo to your latest, in one move

Upload an old photo of the two of you and a recent one, and the years melt away in one smooth move from then to now. Photos with similar framing work best.

## Starts and ends exactly on your photos

The first frame is your start photo and the last frame is your end photo. Everything in between is one smooth, continuous move.

## Two people, one scene

Brings two people from two separate photos together in one shot, even if they have never been photographed side by side.

## How to make it

1. Upload two photos: then photo and now photo. You can also pick them from your library.
2. Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
3. Your 5 second HD video plays right on the page. Save it to your library or download it.

## FAQ

### Can the photos be decades apart?

Yes. The further apart, the better the moment.

### Can I use a scanned print?

Yes. Scans and phone photos of prints work.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Couple Then and Now?

No. Couple Then and Now is a ready-made effect: upload two photos and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.

### How long is the Couple Then and Now video?

Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape, ready to post anywhere.

### Does the video have sound?

Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.

### Can the start and end photos be in different places?

Yes. The effect moves the camera and morphs the scene between the two, so different outfits, rooms or backgrounds all work. Photos with a similar framing give the smoothest move.

### Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
