Have you tried the viral TikTok celebrity filter yet?
The "AI Parody Filter" on TikTok has been around for a while! But people are still sharing lots of funny celebrity look alike filters on social media.
If you haven't tried it yet, no worries. We'll show you how it works.
What is this "AI Parody Effect"?
This "AI Parody" trend all started from TikTok in January 2024. This celebrity look alike filter on TikTok basically allows you to look just like a celebrity. For instance, Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie, Ariana Grande, BLACKPINK, Ed Sheeran, and even Michael Jackson!
You can go on TikTok and search for the celebrity you want to turn into. And I've got to say, these filters look REAL!
You can even take this a step further by changing your hair color to look just like the celebrity.
This can be done easily by using YouCam Video - a video editing app.
How to turn into a celebrity using AI Parody on TikTok?
In this section, we will quickly walk you through the steps to try these AI Parody effects. So you can get started on yours.
Step 1: Open Your TikTok
First, open your TikTok. If you don't have it on your phone, just quickly download it and create your account.
After that, land yourself on the TikTok homepage.
Start searching for keywords like "AI Parody", "AI Parody Filter", "AI Parody Effects", "Celebrity Look Alike Filter", "Celebrity Lookalike" or "AI Filters". Then you can just click on them to see all the effects available right now.
Step 2: Find the Celebrity You Want to Turn into
There are already tons of celebrity AI filters on TikTok for you to swap faces.
However, it might be a bit tricky to find the ones you are looking for. Not every celebrity has their own effect on TikTok. Also, the celebrity look-alike filters are usually not named after that specific celebrity.
A quick way to do this is to search for the "celebrity" filter and then tap on one of the shorts below. Look for one that has an AI Parody filter, like the one in the upper right corner.
Once you're in one of these videos, you'll notice a yellow icon in the bottom left corner.
Click on the effect called "AI Parody-Tigerlily".
This is why searching for "Taylor Swift AI Parody" might not work, as creators often give the effect a different name.
Step 3: Apply the AI Parody Effect
Tap on the "Use this effect" at the bottom. And that's it! You can swap faces with your favorite celebrity just like that.
For some effects, you can switch between different looks of that celebrity by tapping on the effect filters.
Here's a real example for you to see how it works.
💡Top AI Parody we recommend you to try:
- Taylor Swift filter
- Angelina Jolie filter
- Ariana Grande filter
- Lady Gaga filter
- Rihanna
- Miley Cyrus
- Madonna
- AI BLACKPINK Filter
- Old Hollywood icons
We've personally tried most of the celebrity lookalike filters currently available, and these are the ones we love the most (or with the best effect).
Step 4: Try changing the look
Even though the AI Parody effect looks really convincing, here are some simple tricks to make you appear even more like a celebrity.
One way to do this is by changing your hair color.
Take Ariana Grande, for example; she used to have brown hair and later switched to a light blonde. You can try both to see which suits you better.
Top TikTok Celebrity Filter to Try: Ed Sheeran
We have recently found another celebrity filter that is gaining popularity. That would be the Ed Sheeran Face filter!
Highly recommend you try this one out!
This filter works a little differently from the AI Parody filter, but the fun is still there.
Just find this effect on TikTok and apply it right away! You can pretend to be Ed Sheeran and sing through all of his song lists!
Top 4 Celebrity Lookalike Apps That Turn You Into a Celebrity
1. TikTok
TikTok's AI Parody effect is definitely one of the best. It uses great facial detection to add different celebrity filters to your face.
While the videos might seem a bit blurry if you scrutinize them, the effects are good enough to overlook this small issue.
Another thing is that every video made with AI Parody will also have a line saying "AI-generated video, for entertainment only." It's a bit of a hassle, but you can still handle it.
2. YouCam Video
YouCam Video is a video editing app that lets you tweak the hair color and makeup in your celebrity videos saved from TikTok.
You can experiment with everything from eyeliners, and eyeshadows, to lip colors, making it easier for you to look more like your favorite celebrity. Or just wear the makeup that they would wear.
3. Celebrity Voice Changer Parody
Available on Apple Store and Google Play, the Celebrity Voice Changer Parody is an app that lets you change your voice to sound like different famous people.
It's a fun and light-hearted way to play around with your voice recordings and have a good time pretending to be your favorite celebrities.
4. Deepfakes (Online App)
Deepfakes is an online app that uses face swap AI technology to turn you into celebrities, or any famous people (From Taylor Swift to Joe Biden).
Its face swap celebrity feature is shockingly real and has caused some unpleasant scams and problems, especially on social media.
We would recommend using this face swap AI feature only for your entertainment.
FAQ about AI Parody Filters
Is AI Parody Filter similar to Celebrity Face Swaps?
They are using quite similar technology, but these two effects deliver quite different outputs.
AI Parody Filters on TikTok help you turn into the celebrity you love, while Celebrity Face Swaps normally means changing two celebrity faces with each other. Moreover, this effect is usually limited to photos.
If you are looking to do celebrity face swaps in videos, another option to try is Deepfake.
Will using Celebrity Look Alike Filters get me into trouble?
Since TikTok (and other apps and tools) are doing so well with these AI Parody Effects, there are problems emerging, like the Taylor Swift AI Video (Porn video) circulating online.
This is why if you generate shorts using celebrity lookalike filters on TikTok, the video will also have a line saying "AI-generated video, for entertainment only."
This lets people know that your video isn't real and is just for fun.
