Google's Arts & Culture app has a new feature that matches your selfie to a famous painting, and people can't seem to get enough of it.

To get your doppelgänger, download the app (iOS or Android) and scroll down until you see this:
Click "Get Started," which will take you to a message from Google explaining that your photo will be sent to Google to find artworks that resemble you, and your photo won't be used or stored. If you accept, click "Accept."
