turn your old photos into backrooms
Your places, gone liminal.
liminals.space is a mobile-first web app that turns your own photos of real, everyday places (your childhood bedroom, the school hallway, the dead mall, the hospital waiting room) into the eerie, half-remembered ”backrooms” / liminal-space version your brain keeps at 3am. You get each room in full resolution, with its VHS-style found-footage look, plus a keepsake you can download.

See it: real rooms, turned into the backrooms
In the app you drag a slider to dissolve your real room into its liminal, backrooms-style version, graded onto worn VHS tape. A few before / after examples:
How it works
- Upload 2 photos of places you grew up. People-free shots work best, even recent ones.
- Pay once ($4.99) — nothing is generated before payment.
- Our AI rebuilds both rooms at full resolution, graded onto worn VHS tape.
- Download everything — the high-resolution images + keepsake — as a zip.
What does liminals.space cost?
One flat price: $4.99 one-time (handled by Polar). That generates both of your rooms in full resolution plus the keepsake download. There’s no subscription and no account.
Does liminals.space store my photos?
No. There are no accounts and no database. Your photos are sent once to generate your images and are then deleted. Never saved. Everything you make lives only in your browser until you download it.
What kinds of places work best?
Empty, everyday spaces carry the most nostalgia: a childhood bedroom, a school hallway, a 90s mall, a hospital waiting room, a parking garage, an empty office, a basement, a motel room, a kitchen, or a stairwell.
