A few months ago, it went viral to make two photos appear to hug each other.
Now, with AI improving, users are exploring different ways to use it, as long as it’s safe and doesn’t offend anyone.
Currently, it’s trendy to make 2 photos appear to kiss with AI kissing filter, especially if they feature celebrities or anime characters.
Alright, today I want to show you a complete, step-by-step tutorial on how to make 2 photos appear to kiss.
First, we need to place the 2 photos in the same frame, and then use an app that makes them look like they’re kissing.
For this tutorial, I used the Luma AI app because it’s free and, in my opinion, gives better results than Vidu AI.
- Step 1. Combine the 2 photos
- Step 2. Upload the photos to Luma AI and describe how you want them to appear kissing
- Step 3. Add some cute effects to your video and share it.
Let’s get started
Step 1: Download the YouCam Perfect App to Combine Your 2 Photos
With YouCam Perfect, you can easily combine the two photos separately into a ‘grid’. Here’s the step-by-step guide:
1. Download the YouCam Perfect
First, download the YouCam Perfect App, available for iOS and Android.
2. Open the App and Select the Collage feature, then choose Grid.
Once you reach this point, make sure to choose the template for 2 photos.
If you have YouCam Perfect, it’s free, but if you haven’t subscribed, you’ll notice it’s a paid feature.
You can sign up for the 7-day free trial to see if you like using the app and its AI features.
If you decide it’s not for you, simply cancel after you’ve combined your two photos 😁.
3. Choose Your 2 Photos to Make Them Appear as If They’re Kissing
Do you know who the person in the photo is?
Sorry, I really like Jackson, so I had to make this video with him!
(Please note that these photos are not owned by YouCam Perfect or associated with the singer; it’s just for fun and to make the tutorial.)
Based on previous experiences using Vidu AI and Luma AI, I noticed that it’s better to completely remove the background from the photos to make the video look more realistic.
So, once you’ve placed your two photos, click on each one and use the ‘Cutout’ tool to have the AI completely remove the background.
Once you’ve removed the background, adjust the image size like this:
Save your photo.
Step 2: Open Luma AI to Make the 2 Photos Kiss With AI Kiss Filter
Luma AI is a platform that creates incredibly realistic videos, sometimes so real that you won’t believe they were made with AI.
I tried it on my phone, and it was incredibly easy.
1. Search for Luma AI on Google and Open It
Once it appears, click on ‘Try Now’ and it will take you to the Luma page. There, you’ll need to log in with your preferred account. I chose my Google account.

2. Upload Your Photo to Start Creating the Video with the AI Kiss Filter in Luma AI
Click on the ‘Photo’ icon, and you’ll see options to upload media.
Choose ‘Photo Library’ and upload the photo with the two images you just edited in the YouCam Perfect app.
3. Describe How You Want the 2 Photos to Kiss
Below's the text prompt I used. You can copy and paste it for yours:
"Make them kiss, the photo on the left will kiss the photo on the right, make it look real"
🪄Click on the upward arrow icon to start the AI creation process.
I received a message saying the AI was at capacity and to try again later, but I kept clicking, and after 4 or 5 attempts, it worked!
4. Let Luma AI Create the Video With AI Kiss Filter
The AI takes a few seconds to create the video, but it’s definitely worth the wait!
4. Save Your Video
I didn’t expect it to look so real—I loved it, and it was free!
However, it looked a bit plain, so I wanted to add a romantic touch.
I used the YouCam Video app to add a lovely background and some cute stickers.
Step 3: Add Cute Effects to Your Video to Make It Look Like This
1. Open the YouCam Video App, and Tap the + Icon to Upload Your Video
2. Add a Beautiful Background
Select the ‘Remove Background’ option and choose a new one. I chose the heart background! (*Remove video background * feature is only available for iOS users)
Feel free to add stickers too if you like.
All set! Share on TikTok and make everyone jealous, haha.
