A time machine for places

Stand anywhere.
See every year.

Every street corner, viewpoint, and park bench holds decades of photographs — scattered across archives and strangers' phones. SharedPics layers them onto the spot where they were taken, so you can scrub through time from exactly where you stand.

A century on one corner. Drag the slider to travel through it yourself — this is what any spot becomes in SharedPics.

How it works

SharedPics launches pre-loaded with tens of thousands of geolocated photographs from public archives. You add the layer that's missing: today.

No. 1

Find a spot with history

The map glows where photographs exist — city corners, viewpoints, storefronts, trailheads. Some spots go back a century.

No. 2

Add today's layer

Take one photo from where you stand. Your shot joins the record and unlocks the spot's full timeline — every era, every angle.

No. 3

Scrub through time

Drag the slider and watch the place change: signage, cars, skylines, seasons. History you can stand inside.

Ghost capture

Line up the past. Shoot the present.

Point your camera and a translucent overlay of an old photograph appears — taken from the very spot you're standing on. Match the framing, press the shutter, and SharedPics registers the two images perfectly.

The result is a then-and-now pair you can crossfade, slide, or morph — the kind of image people painstakingly recreate by hand today, made in ten seconds.

It starts with your own camera roll

Before anyone else's photos matter, SharedPics is a time machine for your own life.

Your life, mapped

Import your camera roll and every geotagged photo lands on the map. A private atlas of everywhere you've been — years of it, instantly.

"You were here"

Walk past a place you photographed nine years ago and SharedPics quietly surfaces it. Your own history, returned to you exactly where it happened.

Share when you choose

Everything imported stays private by default. Contribute a photo to a public spot only when you want to unlock its timeline.
