How to get the 70s AI filter on TikTok

An AI filter that lets you see what you would look like in the 70s is going viral on TikTok. Here’s how you can try it for yourself.

Short-form video app TikTok has become a melting pot of creative and innovative trends, and many of these stem from viral filters and effects.

The 70s AI filter is the latest to take off on the app, as it shows how you might have looked like five decades ago. The effect modifies your hair, face, and attire to reflect 70s fashion trends. Imagine seeing yourself with longer hair, perhaps in denim or floral prints, all typical of the period.

It also applies a sepia tone to your photo, mimicking the color palette commonly seen in pictures from that era. The filter then adds a ‘before and after’ effect, and the text “How I would look like in the 70s.”

So far, the AI effect has been used over 3 million times, as TikTokers are obsessing over the retro aesthetics of the 1970s. If you want to try it for yourself, here’s how.
