AI Manga filter on TikTok: How to get it

Ever wondered what you'd look like in comic book-form?

Well, wonder no more. The latest TikTok filter that's doing the rounds, called AI Manga, will turn an image of you – or another photo on your phone – into something that looks like it's been plucked straight from a graphic novel.

What is the TikTok AI Manga filter?

You've probably already seen it popping up in your feed, but it's pretty much exactly what you're imagining — a tool that takes an image and quickly generates a cartoon version of that image in the style of Japanese Manga comics.

Millions of videos have been created using the effect, which has seen people not only transforming themselves, but also using the app to go "ghost hunting" around their homes.
