What is age progression?
Age progression is the technique of changing a photo of a person to show how they might look when older. Forensic artists have long used it to update photos of missing people, and digital tools now apply typical signs of aging, such as wrinkles, skin changes and graying hair. An AI age filter is a playful, general preview; it cannot predict how a specific person will actually age.

What is the difference between In 20 years and In 40 years?
In 20 years adds moderate, natural aging: finer and deeper lines around the eyes and mouth, slightly softer skin and some gray in your own hairstyle, like a middle-aged version of you. In 40 years shows a clearly senior adult: mostly silver-gray or white hair, pronounced wrinkles and crow’s feet, looser skin on the cheeks and neck and a few age spots. Both keep the same photo, clothes and background.
