The AI Manga (Anime) filter and other artificial intelligence filters have taken over TikTok recently.
There are a ton of videos that use the filter—over 9.8 million videos.
You can use it on yourself, objects, and your friends.
If you use the filter on yourself, you’ll most likely be turned into an anime character.

These filters are available on various social media platforms, but there are original ones that come from TikTok.
In this guide, you’ll learn what is the AI trend on TikTok, examples of it, how to do the trend, and trending AI filters right now.
