How do I do the anime eye trend?

Upload a close selfie with one eye clearly visible, choose a style in Star Eye or a heart, moon or other shape in Hearts & More, and generate. The AI adds the cut-out and the stickers to your photo. Download it and post it with the trend sound.

Is the anime eye trend maker free?

It is free to try: new accounts get free credits when you sign up, and each photo uses credits shown on the Generate button before you start.

No. It runs in your browser on a phone or a computer, so there is nothing to install. Upload, generate and download right from this page.

Will it change my face?

No. Your selfie stays a real photo: the same face, skin, hair, pose, light and background. The AI only adds the cut-out over one eye and the anime stickers on top.

Does it show which anime character I look like?

It shows an anime character who looks like you, but not one from an existing show. The AI designs an original anime look alike from your photo, with your hair color and style, face shape, eye color and accessories, so the character in the star is yours and nobody else’s.

Can I use a heart instead of a star?

Yes. Open Hearts & More for a heart, a crescent moon, a sparkle burst, a flower or a lightning bolt, or pick Both Eyes for a star over each eye. You can also add a color in the note box, like “purple star”.

Can boys, couples or pets do it?

Yes. It works on any selfie, and boys often like the Shonen or Neon styles. Couple gives each of two people in one photo their own anime twin and star, and Pet makes an anime version of your dog or cat that keeps its fur color and markings.

How do I post it on TikTok?

Start from a 9:16 portrait selfie, then post the result in photo mode or as a carousel with the trending sound. Many people put the original selfie first and the anime eye version second for the reveal.

Can I turn it into a video?

Yes. Tap Animate under your result to open Animate Photo with the picture already loaded and make a short clip from it. Each video is a separate generation in that tool.

What Is the Anime Eye Trend?

The anime eye trend is a TikTok photo format that took off in October 2026. You start with a moody selfie, often with a hood, a hand or loose hair hiding part of your face, and put a star-shaped cut-out over one eye. Inside the star sits the eye of “the anime character I look like”, and three or four small anime stickers of that same character float around you. The star cut-out version started spreading around October 16, and people also call it the anime face trend or the anime star eye trend.

This anime star eye photo maker does the whole edit from one selfie. Instead of matching you to a character from someone else’s show, the AI designs your own anime look alike, an original character with your hair color and style, face shape, eye color and accessories, and puts it in the star and in the stickers. Your real photo stays as it is: the same face, skin, pose, light and background, with only the cut-out and the stickers added on top. Prefer a heart, a moon or a star over both eyes? Those are one tap away, along with couple and pet versions.

Pick a Star or Heart and an Anime Style

Open Star Eye for the classic star cut-out in one of eight anime styles, or Hearts & More for a heart, moon, flower, lightning bolt, both eyes, a couple or a pet. Add your own idea in the note box, like pink hair or sakura stickers.

Generate, Then Post With the Trend Sound

Download your anime eye photo and post it in photo mode or as a carousel with the trending sound, or tap Animate to turn it into a short clip first.

Why Use This Anime Star Eye Photo Maker

A selfie next to the original anime look alike designed from it, with the same hair color, face shape and eye color

Your Own Anime Look Alike, Not a Random Character

Search for “my anime look alike” and most filters hand you a character from someone else’s show. This anime look alike AI designs a new one from your photo instead: your hair color and style, face shape, eye color, glasses or piercings, drawn as the anime version of yourself. The twin is yours alone, so no other post has the same one.
