TikTok has introduced AI avatar generation capabilities to its app, so you can easily create AI portraits of yourself. Here’s what you need to know about the feature, and how to use it.
How TikTok’s AI Avatar Generator Works
Chances are, if you’ve used an AI avatar generator before, you’ve had to download a dedicated app or visit a website. TikTok’s AI avatar generator brings these capabilities to its app. So, you can watch a video one minute and create an avatar the next.
Similar to the Vana AI portrait generator, TikTok asks for a maximum of 10 photos of yourself and then uses artificial intelligence to create realistic avatars based on your facial features. You can select up to five different styles for your avatar.
The AI avatar generator will produce up to 30 avatars for you to choose from. You can then use your favorite one as your profile picture or save it to your device. While TikTok’s AI avatar generator is a fun feature addition, it also has a limitation: you can only create one AI avatar a day.
