Step-by-Step Guide to Viral AI Yearbook Trend

First things first, you need to know about the Epik app which has been at the forefront of this trend. It’s a user-friendly app on your phone that can beautify your photographs with a vintage flair and other fun filters to tinker around.

Step 1: Download and Install the App

First, download the Epik app from the app store on your phone. Once installed, open the app and create an account. 

Step 2: Prepare Your Photographs

Take some clear photographs of yourself. Ensure that there are no objects or animals that could obstruct the AI process. Selfies work best so take some time to take pics with great lighting.

When ready, tap on the “AI Yearbook” icon in the home page of the app.

Step 3: Select Your Payment Option

The app requires a one-time payment before it can make your yearbook. There are two choices, Standard will take up to 24 hours of wait time before you get your images, and Express will have it ready in 2 hours. 

Note that prices may vary depending on app promotions.

Step 4: Upload Your Photograph

After that’s done, upload your photographs. You can select up to 12 photos of your liking,  so pick your best shots.

After some waiting, 60 images will be generated which you can download directly.

Step 5: Customize Your Style

Choose your desired era, the 90's being the most popular choice for that vintage look.

Select a popular, sporty, smart, or grunge high school clique aesthetic. Don’t worry, the app will use its technology to beautify your image, ironing out skin blemishes and the like.

Step 6: Save and Share

Preview your AI-generated vintage high school image, and if you’re satisfied with the results, save the images to your device. You can then share your nostalgia on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram to join the viral #AIYearbook trend.

Share the “new” high school you!

Some Things to Note:

  • Quality of Image: The quality of the AI-generated image largely depends on the original photograph's clarity. Make sure to take clear photos of yourself.
  • Cost: Some features in the Epik app might require payment like filters, etc.
  • Privacy: Do your due diligence. Take the time to read and understand the app's privacy policy regarding the use and storage of your photographs.
