Laser Yearbook '86: retro school-photo lasers. Laser Yearbook '86 turns your photo into a school portrait from 1986. You're framed head-and-shoulders against a dark backdrop crossed by bright pink and blue laser beams, wearing a crew-neck sweater, and the print has faded a little, like a page from an old yearbook. It's a modest look, with sleeves and a high neckline, and no smoothing is applied, so your skin's real texture shows. The recipe holds your expression, face, skin tone and body shape exactly as they were.

  • Bright pink and blue laser beams on a dark backdrop
  • A classic head-and-shoulders yearbook pose
  • A cozy crew-neck sweater with sleeves and a high neckline

What is the AI yearbook trend?

It's the trend of turning a selfie into an old-school yearbook photo from another decade. Laser Yearbook '86 goes for the classic 80s laser backdrop in bright pink and blue, with a crew-neck sweater and a print that's lost a little of its color.

What happens if the portrait doesn't look like me?

After the look, Aybuke checks the result against your original photo, right on your device. If your skin tone or face shape seems to have changed, it tells you and highlights Retry free for one more try; when everything matches, you'll see a Still you badge.
