While people on social media are busy creating animated photos using Deep Nostalgia, MyHeritage has warned to not use the technology for creating deepfake videos of public figures or anyone else without their permission.
Currently, the platform can animate only one face in a photo and not multiple. Users have the option to crop out a face from a group photo and animate the same using Deep Nostalgia.
Users have the option to sign up for a free account to use Deep Nostalgia. But the free account is limited to a small number of animations. Once a subscription plan is taken, several other animation options are available.
