EPIK
AI photo editor behind the viral 90s AI Yearbook trend.
About
EPIK is the AI photo and video editor from South Korea's SNOW Corporation (a Naver subsidiary) that topped the US App Store in 2023 when its AI Yearbook feature went viral: upload 8-12 selfies and receive 60 stylized 90s yearbook portraits. It has since passed 90M lifetime installs per market intelligence estimates.
Beyond the viral templates it offers standard editing (retouch, filters, collages) and AI avatars. The app is free with in-app purchases; AI Yearbook generations cost roughly $6-10 per batch. Trend-driven demand has caused processing delays at peaks, and viral AI photo apps historically fade fast once the novelty passes.
