Is the 80s photo trend safe for your data?
Check any AI photo tool for three things before uploading: does it use facial recognition or store a biometric faceprint, is your photo kept after generation, and is it used to train AI models. 80s Filter does none of the three — no facial recognition, no faceprint, no training use, and the original photo isn't retained after your image is generated.
Three things worth checking on any AI photo app
- Facial recognition or biometric storage. Does the app create or keep a faceprint, or does it just process the image for that one generation?
- Photo retention. Is your uploaded photo kept on the company's servers afterward, and for how long?
- AI training use. Is your photo used to train future models, with or without a clear opt-out?
How 80s Filter answers each
- No facial recognition: no face matching, face detection for identification, or biometric analysis is run on your photo.
- Not retained: your uploaded photo is not stored on our servers after the image is generated.
- Not used for training: your photo is never used to train AI models.
The finished, generated image is stored in your account so you can download it again later — that part is expected and disclosed. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
General good practice either way
Only upload photos of yourself, or people who've given you permission — this applies to any AI photo tool, not just this one.
Upload a photo and 80s Filter restyles it into a 1980s portrait — hair, wardrobe, film look and all.

Who actually processes the photo?
It's sent over an encrypted connection through our own relay to our AI provider, fal.ai (running OpenAI's GPT Image 2), solely to generate your image.
Can I delete my data afterward?
Yes — email admin@try2.app to request deletion of your account and stored images at any time.
