About MyHeritage AI Time Machine™

Travel Through History with AI

The AI Time Machine™ by MyHeritage lets you visualize yourself in different historical periods using cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Upload a few photos and watch as the tool creates stunning, realistic avatars of you as a Roman emperor, Renaissance artist, 1920s flapper, or even a futuristic astronaut.

Powered by Astria, Licensed by MyHeritage

This feature uses advanced AI licensed from Astria, ensuring high-quality results that capture your facial features while transforming your look across centuries and cultures.

How AI Time Machine™ Works

Step 1: Upload Your Photos

Begin by uploading multiple clear images of yourself—close-ups and varied expressions work best.

Step 2: Let the AI Do Its Magic

The tool uses those images to train a custom model of your face. Within minutes, it generates dozens of portraits of you in a variety of historical styles.

Step 3: Explore & Share

Browse your personalized image gallery and download or share your favorites. Use your avatars for fun, educational projects, or as unique profile photos.
