How to do the AI trend on TikTok, step by step

By the AI Rap Video Generator team · Published

In brief

Pick the trend, add a clear photo of you (or one of each of you), render the clip and post it with the trend's sound. Every AI trend below starts from photos you already have; nobody needs to film anything.

How to do the AI trend on TikTok

  1. Pick the trend

    Find it in the list below. Each one opens with the right effect already selected.

  2. Add your photo

    A sharp photo with your face toward the camera. For a duo trend, add one photo of each of you.

  3. Make the clip

    Choose a length and render. You get a vertical video, sized for TikTok.

  4. Post it with the sound

    Upload it in TikTok, tap the sound and pick the trend's audio, then turn the clip's own sound down.

What app is everyone using for the AI trend?

Not one app: people use different photo-to-video tools and then post in TikTok. What matters for the trend is the look of the clip and the sound you add in TikTok. Here you can make every trend above in the browser, with no app to install.

Tips before you post

  • Use a photo where you look like yourself: no heavy filter, no sunglasses.
  • Add the official sound inside TikTok so your post joins the trend.
  • Show the original photo for a second at the start; people love the before and after.
  • Only use photos of friends who said yes.
