Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vintage AI photo generation?

Vintage AI generation uses purpose-tuned diffusion models to transform a source photo into vintage-themed output while preserving the subject's facial identity. Gluely routes between models optimized for photorealism, stylization, and face fidelity depending on the specific style you pick.

How many Vintage styles are in Gluely?

Gluely currently ships 5 vintage styles in this category, each with its own prompt engineering. We add new styles when real user data shows a style is converting — we don't ship filler variations.

Will the AI change my face in vintage photos?

The vintage styles use face-preserving generation powered by Nano Banana 2 with 68-landmark facial mapping. Your actual facial structure, expression, and key features carry through to the output. This is the single biggest differentiator from generic filter apps.

Which vintage style should I start with?

Start with whichever style has the most familiar aesthetic. Once you've run one vintage style, swapping into adjacent styles uses the same uploaded source photo — you don't have to re-upload. Gluely's My Faces feature also lets you save a face for instant reuse across every style in the app.

Is Vintage generation free?

Yes — starter credits on download cover 4–6 generations. After that, the weekly plan ($7.99/week with a 3-day free trial) includes 550 credits (≈60 vintage generations per week). The monthly plan ($14.99/month) is 1,400 credits.

Can I use Vintage styles on Android?

Vintage styles are currently iOS-only through the Gluely app. Android is on the roadmap but does not have a ship date yet.
