The nostalgia train is rolling full steam ahead with a flood of American high school yearbook-inspired images taking over Instagram and TikTok. If you’re wondering how people are achieving this blast from the past, it’s thanks to the ‘AI Yearbook’ feature on the Epik – AI Photo Editor app.
The Epik app, hailing from the South Korean company Snow Corporation, is not a newcomer to the scene. However, one of its AI filters recently took social media by storm as celebrities and influencers embraced the retro-styled trend. A quick search will reveal famous figures like South Korean TV host Yoo Jaesuk, American actress and singer Keke Palmer, DJ Steve Aoki, and local musician Jean Seizure donning ’90s outfits, hairstyles, and backgrounds. If you’re ready to join the throwback fun, here’s how you can get that ’90s yearbook look for yourself.
How to Create AI Yearbook Pictures with the Epik App:
1. Download the Epik – AI Photo Editor App: You can find it on the App Store or Google Play Store, and the best part is it’s free!
2. Navigate to the ‘AI Yearbook’ Feature: Open the app and find the ‘AI Yearbook’ feature on the homepage.
3. Upload Your Photos: Choose eight to twelve photos of yourself, ensuring they are well-lit, in focus, and haven’t undergone any editing or Photoshop magic.

4. Select Your Gender: Here’s where you can have some fun – you can choose ‘male’ if you’re female and vice versa to see an alternate version of yourself.
