Tips for great results

  • Choose photos where both faces look toward the camera and are not too small in the frame.
  • A childhood photo with a clear close-up face works better than a wide shot with the child far away.
  • Photograph old prints flat, in daylight and without glare before you add them.
  • If the first take is not quite right, run it again, since each take frames the hug a little differently.

What people use it for

  • Birthday and milestone posts
  • Gifts for parents and grandparents
  • Printed keepsakes and frames

FAQ

Hug your younger self: questions

How does AI Hug Younger Self work?

You add your photo and a childhood photo. An AI image model places both of you in one scene, hugging, with a soft flash-lit look, and it is instructed not to change either face.

What photos work best?

Clear, well-lit photos where each face is visible and roughly front-facing. Old prints work too: photograph them flat in daylight so there is no glare across the face.

Is AI Hug Younger Self free?

Luren AI is free to download and try. After that, each portrait is paid for with coins or a Pro subscription.

What happens to my childhood photos?

Your photos are used only to make your portrait, and the result is kept in your History so you can find it again. To have your data deleted, email [email protected].
