New Year's Eve
Just after midnight
Black tie and sequins, confetti still coming down, and the lights behind you thrown right out of focus. Warm, grainy, and a little blurred where the confetti falls.

What the New Year's Eve look does to a photo
The New Year's Eve look moves your photograph to just after midnight. Black tie and sequins, confetti still coming down and catching the light, and warm practical lights thrown right out of focus behind everyone.
The setting varies with the photo rather than being the same room every time. A hotel ballroom under chandeliers, a rooftop strung with lights, a low-lit cocktail bar, a living room in the middle of a party. Colour comes out warm and slightly grainy, with a little motion blur where the confetti falls.
It runs in about twenty seconds and costs 7 tokens. Your first 7 photos are free, nothing renews, and tokens don't expire.
Every age, every face
Real results from this look. Nothing here is retouched afterwards.
Will they still look like themselves?
Yes. Here is exactly what this look moves and what it holds.
What changes
- Clothing becomes black tie, sequins, satin and velvet.
- Confetti falls through the frame and catches the light.
- The setting becomes a party: a ballroom, a bar, a rooftop or a living room mid-toast.
- Lights behind you go warm and far out of focus.
- Colour warms and grains slightly, with motion in the falling confetti.
What stays the same
- Faces, entirely, under the party lighting.
- Glasses, flat caps and head coverings.
- Everyone who was in the photo, in the same arrangement.
- Apparent age, which decides how the black tie is cut.
- Expression, which is usually the best thing in the picture.

Which photos work best for New Year's Eve
This look is not fussy, but these are the pictures it rewards.
- Anyone whose New Year involved a sofa and who would like it not to have.
- Couples, which the look composes around naturally.
- Groups, since everyone gets dressed rather than one person.
- Photos taken indoors at night, which need the least work.
- Sending on the first of January.
How to get a better result
Four things that change the output more than anything else.
- Indoor photos take the party setting most naturally.
- Half length or wider lets the black tie and sequins read.
- Faces toward the camera survives the confetti best.
- A photo where nobody is cropped at the edge restages more cleanly.
Your first 7 are free
After that each photo costs 7 tokens. There is no subscription and nothing renews. Buy a handful of tokens when you want more, and they never expire.
Questions
- Does everyone get the same room?
- No. The look picks one setting to suit each photo, so a ballroom, a bar, a rooftop or a living room, rather than the same backdrop every time.
- Will our faces change?
- No. Faces are held as they are.
- Does it work on one person?
- Yes. The number of people never changes.
- Can I put a message on it?
- Yes. Type a short line before you generate and it's written onto the picture.
- Is the confetti blurred?
- Some of it, on purpose. It's what makes the picture read as a moment rather than a pose.
- How long does it take?
- About twenty seconds.
