How to use the AI Polaroid Photo tool — 4 steps

  1. 1

    Under Add 1–4 photos, drop a photo of yourself and one of the person you want in the Polaroid — a friend, your partner, a parent from an old print, your younger self.

  2. 2

    The 📸 Polaroid with anyone style is preselected. Pick the pose (arms around each other, heads together, peace signs), the backdrop and the frame — or a three-shot photo-booth strip.

  3. 3

    Press ✨ Blend with AI. The snapshot appears in 10–40 seconds.

  4. 4

    Press ⬇️ Download result or 📤 Share. Add a caption like “Goa, 2019” handwritten on the frame in the prompt box and blend again.

💡 Tip: Flash-lit Polaroids look most real when both source photos have similar, even light on the face. Avoid strong side shadows in the originals.

🎯 Best for: the “Polaroid with my best friend / my younger self / my parents in the 90s” posts, birthday stories and framed gifts. Use photos of people who are happy to be in it — friends, family, yourself — rather than public figures.

The Gemini Polaroid trend, and how to get the look

The trend started when Google’s “Nano Banana” image model showed it could put two people into one convincing instant-camera snapshot — direct flash, a slightly blown-out face, a plain curtain, the tell-tale white frame. Within days it was everywhere, and “AI Polaroids of imagined memories” is still on every 2026 trend list.

AIMerger has the whole recipe in one preset: the flash, the grain, the faded warm colours and the frame, applied around your faces and clothes, which are kept exactly as in your photos.

Make it yours

  • Younger self — add a childhood photo and choose “heads together” for the most shared version of this trend (see Hug My Younger Self for the full-size portrait).
  • Parents, then and now — an old print of your parents in their twenties next to you today, one Polaroid.
  • Best friends in different cities — the photo you would have taken at the party you both missed.
  • Photo-booth strip — pick the strip frame for three stacked shots with different expressions.

Captions, dates and frames

Anything you type in the prompt box is added to the preset. Popular additions: “handwritten caption ‘summer 2016’ on the bottom border”, “slightly crooked, held up in a hand”, “pinned to a corkboard with a red pin”, or “black-and-white film” for a vintage look.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AI Polaroid trend?

A viral edit where two separate photos become one instant-camera style snapshot of the two people together — flash-lit, grainy, inside a white Polaroid frame. It began with Google Gemini’s Nano Banana model and is now a standard preset on AIMerger.

Do I need a real Polaroid camera or an app?

No. Upload your photos in the browser, keep the Polaroid style selected and press Blend. The frame, flash and film look are generated as part of the image.

Can I add a handwritten caption or date?

Yes — type it in the prompt box, for example: with the caption “Manali 2018” handwritten in blue ink on the bottom border.

Can I make a Polaroid with a celebrity?

Please use photos of people who have agreed to be in the picture — friends, family, your partner or your younger self. Photos of real people are their own likeness, and AIMerger is built for the people in your life.
