How to apply an 80s filter to a photo
Go to 80sfilter.try2.app, drop in a clear front-facing photo, subscribe to a plan, and tap Apply 80s. An AI model restyles hair, wardrobe, lighting and background to the 1980s in under a minute while keeping your face. Download the full-resolution result or find it later in your Studio.
Apply an 80s filter to a photo
- Pick a photo. A clear, front-facing photo of one person, framed from the chest up.
- Upload it. Drop it into the upload area at the top of 80sfilter.try2.app.
- Subscribe. Pick Weekly or Yearly — there is no free tier.
- Tap Apply 80s. The AI restyles the photo. Most results take 20–60 seconds.
- Download. Save the full-resolution image, no watermark. It's also saved to your Studio.
"Applying a filter" means something different here
A classic photo filter shifts colour and contrast on top of your existing picture. 80s Filter is not that — it sends your photo to an AI image model that rebuilds the era-specific parts of the image (hair, clothing, lighting, film texture, background) while holding your face and identity steady. The steps below are the whole process.
Step by step
- Open 80sfilter.try2.app — the upload area is at the very top of the home page.
- Drop in your photo, or tap to browse your files.
- If you are not subscribed yet, pick Weekly ($3.99, 7 images a week) or Yearly ($49.99, 10 images a week).
- Tap Apply 80s. Your photo uploads over an encrypted connection and the model gets to work.
- Review the result, then download it in full resolution — no watermark.
