About this app

PastPresent is a rephotography app that lets you overlay historic photographs on your camera viewfinder, align them with the present-day scene, and capture a matching shot — all from your phone.

How it works

Create a project and add an overlay image (a historic or reference photo)
Open the camera — your overlay appears over the live viewfinder
Use pinch-to-zoom, rotate, and pan to align the overlay with the real scene
Adjust opacity to blend between past and present
Capture your shot — the saved photo matches exactly what you see on screen
Compare your photos side-by-side with the swipe slider
