How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear portrait of the person you want to age. A front-facing or slight-angle portrait with good lighting gives the AI the best reference for rendering realistic aging. The photo should show the full face.

    Expect: Upload takes a few seconds. Good facial visibility is the most important factor for convincing aging results.
  2. Describe how old to make them

    Type how many years to add, what aging features to emphasize, and any specific details you want. Age in decades tends to work better than specific years. Include features like wrinkles, grey hair, sagging skin, or age spots for the most convincing result.

    Tip: Be specific: 'age by 40 years, add deep forehead wrinkles, make hair fully grey, add jowl sagging and crow's feet' gives a much more convincing result than just 'make them look old.' The more specific, the more realistic.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic 40 years older Age this person by 40 years — add deep forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, fully grey hair, slight jowl sagging, and age spots on the skin. Keep their basic facial structure so they're still recognizable as the same person.
    Extremely elderly — age 90+ Age this person to look like they are 90 years old — very deep wrinkles carved into the face, thin white hair, translucent papery skin, sunken cheeks. Extreme elderly look.
    Graceful aging — distinguished older Age this person by 25 years into a distinguished, well-preserved older version — salt and pepper hair, fine lines and character wrinkles only, still attractive but clearly older.
    Stress aged — 10 bad years Age this person as if they've had 10 very hard years — tired eyes with dark circles, stress wrinkles around the mouth and forehead, slightly greyed hair at the temples. Worn but not elderly.
    3 more prompts
    Age just the face, not hair Add wrinkles and aged skin to this person's face — deep lines, sagging, age spots — but keep their hair color exactly the same. Face looks 70, hair still young.
    Elderly bald + aged combo Age this person by 50 years AND make them bald — elderly bald head with liver spots and natural shine, deep wrinkles throughout the face, white stubble beard.
    Side by side aging concept Age this person by 30 years — keep their same expression and clothing, just add convincing natural aging: grey temples, fine wrinkles, slightly softer jaw. Subtle but clearly older.
  3. Send it

    Download and deploy. The 'this is you in 2066' caption is always effective. Works especially well on vain friends or partners who are proud of not aging. Best sent with no context at all.

Quick answers

Do I need to select or mark anything in the photo before asking for the aging filter?

No. Just describe how old you want the person to look and what aging features to add — wrinkles, grey hair, sagging — and the AI applies them automatically.

Is this free?

Yes. EditThisPic gives you 1 free edit per week with no account needed. For more edits, credits start at $4.99. No subscription required.

Will the aged person still look like themselves?

With the right prompt, yes. Include 'keep the facial structure recognizable' or 'still clearly the same person' and the AI will preserve the identifying features while adding age. The more moderate the aging (20-30 years), the more likely the person is still recognizable.

How many years can I add with the aging filter?

There is no hard limit. You can ask for subtle aging (10 years), significant aging (30-40 years), or extreme elderly transformation (50+ years). The result quality varies — moderate aging tends to look more photorealistic, while extreme aging can look more dramatized.

Can I apply the aging filter to a group photo?

Yes. You can specify which person to age, or describe aging all people in the photo. For a group photo, be specific about who you want targeted — describe their position or appearance in the photo.

Can I age only certain features, like just add grey hair without wrinkles?

Yes. Just describe specifically what you want — 'add grey hair only, leave the skin unchanged' or 'add wrinkles but keep the hair color.' The AI follows your description, so being specific gets you a targeted result.

Does EditThisPic store my photos?

Photos are processed to generate your edit and not stored beyond the session. No account means no personal data is collected by default.

How is this different from aging filter apps like FaceApp?

FaceApp applies a pre-trained aging overlay that looks similar across all photos. EditThisPic uses a conversational AI approach — you describe exactly what aging features you want, and the AI renders them specifically for the person in your photo. You can ask for 'stress aging,' 'graceful aging,' 'extreme elderly,' or any variation, not just a single preset filter.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, one-time credit packs start at $4.99 for 10 edits, valid 12 months, no subscription. Power users who edit daily can pick Studio Membership, a monthly workspace at $49.99/mo for 300 edits. Purchased downloads are clean with no watermark.
