Then & now — Berlin, where the past meets the street
The idea

The past never moved. Only everything around it.

Rephotography is the quiet art of standing exactly where a photographer once stood and pressing the shutter again — years, or a century, later. PastPresent does the hard part: it holds the old image over your camera so you can line up a window, a cornice, a horizon, and let time do the rest.

What's inside

Everything you need to match the frame

Align over live camera

Drop a historic photo onto the viewfinder, then pan, pinch, rotate and fade it until the old world snaps onto the new one.

Compare then & now

Review every capture stacked above its source, or drag a slider to wipe between the historic plate and your new shot.

A real Pro editor

Crop, erase, and keystone-correct your overlay. Save named versions and step back through your history without losing the original.

Projects, kept in place

Group comparisons by location into projects, with optional GPS so each shot remembers exactly where it belongs.

Pull frames from video

Record or import a clip, scrub to the perfect moment, and lift a still straight into a comparison — a Pro touch for tricky alignments.

Private by design

Your photos and locations stay on your device, in an encrypted store. No account, no upload, no cloud — the archive is yours alone.
