Frequently asked questions

$4.90 once for a board of just you, $6.99 with two people on it, and $4.90 for a board of your kid. A gift for your partner, sealed until the day you pick, is $24.90, with four more scenes for $7.90 if you want twelve. The gift also comes as a poster ($49) or a framed print ($99), shipping included. No subscription. The first scene is free with a free account, before you pay anything.

Your photo is used only to draw your scenes, and it is deleted within 24 hours. It is never used to train a model. Full details at /privacy.

About five minutes from photo to board. The first scene is free. The other seven are generated right after you pay, while you wait on the page.

You see the first scene free before you pay, so you can judge the likeness first. After you pay, you can redo any scene up to twice. Refunds are given only for a double charge or a board that produced no images; see /refund-policy.

The images are for personal use: wallpaper, journals, private prints, personal social posts. For anything commercial, email us at support@futureself-ai.com first.

One clear, front-facing selfie per person. Good light, no sunglasses, one person in each photo. For a two-person board you upload two photos, one of each of you.

Yes. A two-person board is $6.99 once and every one of the 8 scenes has both of you in it. Pick "Me and someone else" at the start, add a photo of each person, and the first scene is drawn free before you pay.

They stay separate. Merging two people, or dropping one, is the usual failure of two-person AI images, so we tested for it before shipping: five pairs across eight scenes each, including same-gender pairs. Both people were present and recognisable in all forty images. If a scene still comes out wrong, you can redo it, up to twice per scene.

No. You upload their photo and confirm three things first: that you know them, that they are happy for you to use their photo, and that they are 18 or older. They never sign up for anything. Their photo is deleted within 24 hours like yours, and anyone who appears in a board can ask us to remove their image at any time without needing an account.

Not yet. We cap at two people, because two is what we have tested. Likeness gets less reliable as you add faces, and we would rather say no than sell you a board where someone is missing.

An everyday phone selfie works. What matters is that your face is well lit and clearly visible, and you see the first scene before you pay.

Yes. FutureSelf is a website and works in any browser. The board comes in a phone size and a desktop size; for setting it as your wallpaper, see /blog/how-to-make-vision-board-wallpaper.

A few minutes after you pay: the remaining scenes are drawn on the page and the board appears in your browser. When you save it to your dashboard it gets its own link, and that link is emailed to you.

Pinterest shows you strangers. FutureSelf shows you: your own face in each scene, made from one selfie. The comparison is laid out at /blog/futureself-vs-pinterest.

Pick a few specific goals, use images you will actually look at, and put the board where you see it every day, like your phone lock screen. FutureSelf does the images part with your own face in them; a collage in Canva or Pinterest is the free alternative with stock photos.

It makes one part: photoreal pictures of you in the life you want. The daily habit around it (planning, journaling, the actual work) is yours, and a notebook or any planner pairs well.

It turns a goal you describe into a picture of you living it, so the reminder is specific and about you rather than a stranger. A picture is a reminder, not a cause; it helps only if it keeps you doing the work.

You choose goals like career, travel, health or home and describe them in your own words, and each scene is drawn from that. Our /vision-board-for pages list ideas by goal.

Start from a good selfie: clear, well lit, front facing, neutral expression. The scenes are drawn from that one photo, so a sharper photo gives a closer likeness.

It can draw you in any scene you describe, so you can picture a few directions side by side. They are pictures, not predictions.

Yes. You download it as a wallpaper for your phone or desktop, at up to 3840 x 2160 pixels on desktop, so you see it every time you unlock your screen.

Make a scene of the finished project (the book, the shop, the race) and keep it where you will see it during the slow middle part.

Each scene is drawn by Google's Gemini image model from your one photo. There is no custom model and no training on your face, and the photo is deleted within 24 hours.

You get 8 photoreal scenes laid out as one designed board, in a phone size (3x3 with your name card) or a desktop size, to download, print or set as your wallpaper.
