What is liminals.space?
A web app that takes your 2 photos of places you know (a childhood bedroom, a school hallway, an old mall, a hospital waiting room), extracts memory anchors, and rebuilds each one into an eerie, empty, backrooms-style liminal space. The AI keeps recognisable evidence from your photos, so the result is unmistakably your place, not a generic AI hallway. You get your full-resolution backrooms images and a downloadable keepsake. No account, no subscription, and your photos are never stored. See how it works for the full process.
How much does it cost?
One flat price: $4.99 one-time (processed securely via Polar). You upload exactly 2 photos, pay once, and we generate both rooms at full resolution plus the keepsake download. No subscription. No account. You pay once, you get everything from that session. See how it works on the homepage examples first, then pay $4.99 to generate your two rooms.
Is there a free tier?
No. There is one flat price, $4.99 one-time, and nothing is generated before you pay. Before paying, you can see how it works on the homepage before/after "drag to remember" examples. Once you pay, the AI generates both of your rooms at full resolution and you download everything. Your own photos are only turned into rooms after payment.
Do you store my photos?
No. Your photos are processed once to generate your images and then deleted immediately. Nothing is saved to any database. No one else ever sees your rooms. liminals.space holds no copy of your original uploads or the generated images after your session ends. Everything lives in your browser until you choose to download it.
Do I need to be in the photos?
No, and people-free shots work better. The room itself is the subject. Empty frames let the AI read the architecture, textures, and light without working around faces or figures. Recent photos are completely fine; the tool handles the eerie, timeless quality on its own.
How many photos do I need, and what formats are accepted?
You upload exactly 2 photos. The AI rebuilds each one as its own eerie backrooms room. Standard formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP) are all accepted. Phone camera shots are fine. You do not need professional photography or any special gear.
What do I get when I pay?
The one-time $4.99 payment generates:
  • Both of your backrooms images in full resolution, graded onto worn VHS tape
  • A downloadable keepsake (PDF and ZIP containing everything)
That is the whole product, delivered as one download. There are no add-ons or extra tiers.
What does my backrooms image look like?
Each of your 2 photos is rebuilt as its own backrooms image: recognisably your room, recomposed and wrong, lit like an empty level of the famous backrooms. The images carry a VHS-era, found-footage analog look, scan lines, colour bleed, that early-90s tape degradation that makes old home footage feel both warm and unsettling at the same time. The output is a still, full-resolution image, included in your keepsake download, so you can post it as-is.
Which places work best?
Anywhere human absence is the point: childhood bedrooms, school hallways after the last bell, old malls, hospital waiting rooms, indoor pools, parking garages, empty offices. Anywhere you spent time that now feels slightly wrong when you try to picture it. The more specific and personal the place, the more the result lands. Generic-looking rooms still work (the AI finds the uncanny in them) but the places you actually remember hit harder.
Is liminals.space affiliated with the backrooms movie or A24?
No. liminals.space is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to A24, any film, or any creator associated with "The Backrooms." The word "backrooms" describes a broad, community-created liminal-space aesthetic and is used here in that descriptive sense only.
How do I get a refund or contact you?
Email keon.me@gmail.com. If your generated output did not render correctly or you have a problem with your purchase, include your order details and a description of the issue. We will sort it out.
