How to get the Barbie AI filter going viral on TikTok
TIKTOK: sophiehannahTikTok users are going viral by trying out a popular Barbie AI filter that transforms you into the beautiful fashion doll — here’s how you can get the filter.
Over the years, TikTok has become a playground of viral trends and challenges, thanks to its ever-evolving array of filters and special effects.
The latest filter to gain traction on the app is the Barbie AI filter, as it gives you a unique and whimsical look, evocative of the iconic doll. TikTok users have been obsessed with it ever since the widespread release of the ‘Barbie’ movie, which has now become a record-breaking box office success.
The effect employs artificial intelligence to transform any face into a beautiful Barbie-like visage, replete with dramatic makeup, shimmering eyes, and an overall enhanced appearance that’s as charming as it is nostalgic. Here’s how to try it out for yourself!
How to do the Barbie AI filter
The Barbie AI filter isn’t available on TikTok, but on another free app called ‘Photoleap.’ Once you have downloaded the app, just follow these steps:
- Open Photoleap.
- Head to the ‘AI Edits’ section and press ‘AI Selfie.’
- Upload the photo you want to convert.
- From the list that appears at the bottom of the screen choose ‘Girl Doll’ or ‘Guy Doll.’
- Your photo will now be automatically generated. Make sure to save it to your camera roll.
To make a video where it swipes between your original photo and the Barbie one, open TikTok and type ‘Barbie AI Filter’ in the search bar. Click on the first video you see and press ‘CapCut – Try this template.’
You will then be redirected to CapCut. Follow the steps shown to create the video and save it. Now you can upload your clip to TikTok!
