About

Apparent Age

Features
Read full description

How old do I look? provides a visual age estimate from a photograph. Choose an image or take a photo to receive a report organised by visible features, with an explanation of the estimate’s limitations. • AI-powered apparent age estimate. • An easy-to-read report with separate sections. • Save reports you want to keep in your phone’s history. • Export a PDF and share it using compatible apps on your device. • Interface in Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, Portuguese and Polish. Includes 2 free analyses. Buy stackable packs of 20 analyses with in-app purchases. The local price is shown before purchase. Analysis requires internet. History and PDFs are stored locally. This is an entertainment experience: it does not determine actual age or assess health. Lighting, angle and expression can affect results. Estimates of children’s ages may differ particularly widely from their actual age. Only use photographs you have permission to submit. A photo of a child requires permission from their legal guardian. When you analyse a photo, it is sent to OpenAI’s AI service. See the privacy policy in the app for details of how data is handled.
