The world of TikTok is changing and volatile. Every so often, a new filter or trend emerges that manages to go viral in the application and today we come precisely to talk about one in particular, the Gender Swap filter.
TikTokers have become obsessed with crazy effects that can completely transform your appearance, something that Gender Swap does to perfection. Thanks to this filter, you’ll be able to change your appearance from male to female or vice versa, with a precision that can even be scary. Here’s how you can try it out for yourself.
How do I get the Gender Swap filter?
Unfortunately, the filter is not available in TikTok, but in another application called FaceApp. If you don’t know it, it will surely surprise you: the quality of its filters and effects are far superior to what we can find even within Instagram or TikTok itself.
To start using it, you will have to download it from here or through the App Store and the Google Play Store. Once installed on your device, you will need to follow these steps:
- Open FaceApp.
- Upload a photo of yourself (with your face showing well) to the application.
- Click on Gender at the bottom.
- Choose one of the existing options and then save the result.
- If you want to make a video with the filter, you will have to use another application called CapCut, which is linked to TikTok.
How do I make a video with CapCut?
Although CapCut is also developed by ByteDance (the owners of TikTok), you can use it independently, whether you have TikTok or not. Essentially, it’s a portrait video editor that supports formats such as 4K or HDR.
As we said before, to integrate the Gender Swap filter into a video we will have to make use of CapCut:
- Open TikTok and type Gender Swap Filter in the search bar.
- Select a video containing the effect and click on CapCut- Test this template (you will find it above the username).
- Now, the application will take you to CapCut to record and edit your own video there.
- When you are done, save the video and upload it to TikTok.
