Identity-Preserving Aging
ai-image-editor
Any aspect ratio
Apply a realistic aging effect to the subject while strictly preserving the original facial structure, proportions, spacing, and identity. Maintain gender expression, soft facial traits, and the original emotional tone and expression. Introduce age-appropriate changes such as natural skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, and subtle shifts in facial fat distribution. Update hair realistically to reflect aging (e.g., graying, thinning) while keeping it consistent with the subject’s style. Ensure strong visual similarity to the input face and avoid any generic templates or facial replacements.
