The AI Manga filter on TikTok is very successful. Here’s how to use this feature that turns you into an anime character.
We will not insult you by presenting TikTok. The social network is extremely well known for its uninterrupted flow of videos, the “trends” that are launched there, the algorithm which can be alternately super relevant and totally off the mark, etc. However, the platform is also famous for the filters it offers when shooting a video. And there is one called “AI Manga” which is particularly popular because it creates images worthy of the best anime.
As its name suggests, the AI Manga filter allows you to transform photos of you or your loved ones into a manga character. While the notion of artificial intelligence may be a little overused here, we have to admit that the algorithms behind this filter are quite impressive and really invite you to test this function again and again. The opportunity to have some funny images, nuggets… and beautiful memorable failures.

With the little Japanese music used by default on this filter, there really is something to feel like in the credits of an anime.
How to Use TikTok’s AI Manga Filter
To use TikTok’s AI Manga filter, the method is simple. Open the TikTok app and tap the + button in the bottom center (which is for posting videos). This gives you access to the camera of your smartphone via the app. Choose the front or rear camera depending on the person you are going to transform into a manga character.
- Push the button Effect at the bottom left of the interface.
- Click on the icon of Magnifying glass to start a search.
- In the search bar, type AI Manga and select the first result.
You are now ready to transform someone (or an animal) into an anime character. To do this, simply frame the face well and then press the screen at the location indicated by the application.
