If you’ve ever taken a photo on a walk years ago and wondered how the same spot looks today, the GhostViewer App is perfect for you. It lets you line up an old photo with a new one and watch the landscape change — all inside your browser, with no uploads.
Here are some great ways to use it:
🌿 Walking & Nature • Recreate viewpoints from old walks • Compare woodland growth or loss • Track changes in footpaths, gates, and stiles • See how rivers, moorland, and coastlines evolve
🌱 Ecology & Plants • Tree growth • Wildflower meadows • Rewilding projects • Wetlands and ponds over time
🌦️ Weather & Climate • Flooding vs. drought • Snowfall differences • Storm damage • Seasonal timing shifts
🏡 Local History • Old village/town photos • Shops, pubs, landmarks • Old postcards vs. today
🚗 Restoration & Objects • Car repaints/restorations • Campervan or bike upgrades • Garden or DIY projects
🎒 Personal Journeys • Childhood routes • Long‑distance trails • Group walk memories (place‑focused)
The only thing it can’t be used for is comparing people’s faces or bodies — everything else is fair game. try the GhostViewer App today.
