How to use TikTok’s AI face filter

A viral trend on TikTok sees people experimenting with the popular AI face filter, which allows you to turn yourself into whatever you could think of. Here’s how you can try this filter out for yourself on the app.

Filters are one of the biggest sources of trends and challenges on TikTok, with a whole host of different effects available to try out, and new ones constantly being added, including showing you what you could’ve looked like as a teen.

One type of filter that has proven to be particularly popular on the app, is AI, or Artificial Intelligence filters. In August last year, an AI green screen filter went viral that would turn anyone’s name into a piece of artwork.

Starting in 2022, users discovered the ‘AI face’ filter, which allows you to morph your face with a variety of different things by typing your prompt into the text box.

People have been garnering thousands of views and likes for videos showing off the results of this effect. Here’s everything you need to know if you want to try the filter yourself.
