One clear photo of you today is enough. Add a childhood or old photo in the second slot and the child version will match it; without one, the child self is rendered from your own features at about seven.

Why Do Younger-Self Videos Usually Go Wrong?
We built this generator around the three things people complain about most after trying other tools.
"The kid didn't look like me at all — it was just me hugging a random child."
Identity lock: the child is built from your own features (or your childhood photo) and both faces hold through the whole clip — check the 8 samples below.
"Failed generations burned my credits with nothing to show, and support never answered."
If a generation fails or is rejected, your credits are refunded automatically — every time, no support ticket needed.
"It looked free until I uploaded my photo — then came the paywall and the watermark."
Pricing is on the page: 45 credits for a 5-second Grok clip, 75 with Seedance Mini, 550 with Seedance 2.5 — and a failed run is refunded automatically.
What is a meet my younger self video?
Meet My Younger Self turns one photo of you today into a short video with your childhood self. Pick one of 8 moments, from a hug to a birthday wish, and the tool keeps your face while building the child from the same features. Add a childhood photo if you have one and the child follows it.
8 Moments, Real Results
Every clip below was generated by this tool from one photo and its rendered childhood self — same prompts you'll use, first take, no cherry-picking. Hover any card to play.
The Hug
The viral one: you kneel, your younger self squeezes your neck, both eyes close. Five seconds of the hug you both needed.
Then & Now Portrait
The studio pose breaks into a laugh — the same half-smile on two faces, the kid leaning on your shoulder.
Park Bench Talk
Feet swinging, hands talking, a few leaves drifting past — the conversation on the bench you never got to have.
Breakfast Together
Matching mugs, a milk mustache, a clink and a laugh in the morning light.
Mirror Moment
You raise a hand to the mirror and the kid in the reflection does the same, then waves.
On Your Shoulders
A laughing walk through a summer meadow with your younger self riding on your shoulders.
Vintage Snapshot
The faded 90s snapshot comes alive — two of you squeezing together on the sofa and bursting into laughter.
Birthday Wish
Leaning in together, one breath, candles out — the birthday wish you make with yourself.
Why Meet My Younger Self Feels Like You
Made for everyday people, not editors.
Two Ages, One Identity
Your present-day face is locked from your photo, and the child is built from the same features. The clip reads as one person at two ages.
No Childhood Photo Needed
One photo of you today is enough. If you find a real childhood photo, add it and the child version follows that photo instead.
Moments Built for Warmth
Eight gentle moments: a hug, a park bench, breakfast, birthday candles. Nothing theatrical and nobody put in a costume.

Meet My Younger Self FAQs
Meet My Younger Self is an AI video tool that puts you today and your childhood self in the same short clip. You upload one photo, pick a moment such as a hug or a birthday cake, and the generator animates the two of you together. The child is built from your own features, or from a childhood photo if you add one.
A good one keeps both ages looking like the same person, and that is what CreateVision is built around. Your present-day face, hair and skin tone are locked from your photo, and the child is built from the same features. You get 8 ready-made moments, vertical 9:16 output for Reels and TikTok, and every sample on this page comes from this exact tool.
You upload one clear photo of you today and pick a moment. The child self is rendered from your own features at about seven years old. If you add a childhood photo in the second slot, the child version matches that photo instead. The tool then animates the two of you in the scene you chose.
A clear, front-facing photo with your face at least thumbnail-sized works best; sunglasses, heavy filters and group shots lower accuracy. The video is 5 seconds by default in vertical 9:16, and you can choose 10 or 15 seconds, 480p or 720p, and 1:1 or 16:9. The child is about seven by default, and you can type a different age, like 'me at 15', in the prompt box.
On the default Quick tier, video costs 9 credits per second at 480p and 17 credits per second at 720p. A 5-second 480p clip is 45 credits, 10 seconds is 90 and 15 seconds is 135. Higher quality tiers cost more, and each tier button shows its exact price. You can start with 200 free credits from Google sign-up, and failed or rejected generations are refunded automatically.
Videos download as clean MP4s with no watermark on any plan. The clip is yours to keep, post or send to family. Nudity and photos of minors in suggestive contexts are rejected before rendering, and rejected runs cost nothing.
AI video is generated fresh each time, so likeness and motion can vary from one run to the next. Small faces, side angles, sunglasses and heavy filters make the match harder. Try a clearer front-facing photo, add a real childhood photo, or pick another moment. If a task fails, your credits come back automatically.
