liminals.space is a liminal space generator that starts from your own photo of a real place,
not a text prompt, and rebuilds it as the eerie, empty version your memory keeps at 3am. Upload 4 or more
shots, see your first 2 rooms free, then step inside the full result in 3D, watch it as a VHS-style video,
and download a keepsake.

Why "from photo" changes everything
Search "liminal space generator" and you'll find a dozen tools that take a text prompt and return some
variation of a beige hallway with fluorescent lights. They're generated from nothing: no reference,
no memory, no anchor to any real place. The result can be eerie, but it's eerie in the same way for everyone who types the same words.
liminals.space does the opposite. You supply a photo of a place that actually exists in your head: the
corridor of your childhood school, the waiting room you sat in before something hard, the parking garage
you cut through every morning. The generator rebuilds that specific room as its uncanny,
emptied-out version. The proportions, the corners, the doors: all yours. Only the people and the warmth
are gone.
That's the difference between looking at someone else's dream and recognising your own.
You don't need a photographer's eye. Flat, ordinary angles (the kind you'd take to send someone "here's where I live") work best. The banality is the point.
What you get beyond the flat image
Most generators hand you a JPEG and stop there. liminals.space goes further:
Liminal images: each of your uploaded rooms rebuilt in the aesthetic, at full resolution after unlock.
3D step-inside viewer: walk through your generated space in the browser. No headset, no install.
VHS-style nostalgia video: a slow drift through your rooms, scan lines and all, ready to watch or share.
Downloadable keepsake: a PDF and zip of everything, so it lives on your device, not a server.
An optional higher tier removes the watermark and the ambient music track, leaving clean files for posting
or printing.
How to use the generator
Choose a place. Pick somewhere you know well. One type of room from your past, or a mix. Interior shots, no people needed (or wanted).
Upload 4 to 6 photos. Four is the minimum; six gives the generator the most to work with. Recent photos are fine.
See 2 rooms free. Your first two generated rooms come back immediately, in lower resolution, at no cost. No account created.
Unlock the rest. A one-time payment via Paddle unlocks all rooms in full quality, plus the 3D viewer, the VHS video, and your keepsake download.
Download and keep. Everything downloads to your device. After that, it's yours. Your photos were already deleted.
What kinds of places work
The liminal space aesthetic lives in ordinary, functional rooms that were never meant to feel significant.
These hit hardest:
Privacy: your photos are processed once, then gone
No account is created. Your photos go to the generator, the rooms come back, and then the photos are deleted
from the server. There is no database of your images. Nobody at liminals.space ever looks at them. The
generated rooms exist in your browser until you download the keepsake. After that, everything is on
your device and nowhere else.
This is a deliberate design choice, not a privacy policy paragraph buried at the bottom. The whole product
is built around the idea that these places are personal. They shouldn't live anywhere you didn't choose.
Common questions
How is this different from other liminal space generators?
Most generators take a text prompt and produce a generic hallway. liminals.space starts from your actual photo, so the output is your real room, rebuilt as its eerie, empty version rather than a hallway that belongs to no one.
What photos work best?
People-free interior shots with clear walls, floors, and depth. Straight-on angles, corridors from one end, rooms from the doorway. Recent photos are fine. The generator makes them feel timeless.
Are my photos stored after generation?
No. Photos are used once to generate your images and then deleted immediately. Nothing is kept in a database, and your generated rooms live in your browser until you download them.
