The Best TikTok Filters [April 2020]

TikTok is one of the world’s most popular video sharing apps. Through this app, you can shoot videos, edit them, add animations, filters, effects, music, and a variety of other cool options.

“Filters” on Instagram, for example, encompass both effects and filters. You’ll find filters that merely change the style of your photo and effects that add, well, various effects to it.

On TikTok, however, there’s a clear distinction between the two. Here’s how to use filters and effects on TikTok, as well as a list of the best editing programs to supply you with more cool effects.

Using Filters and Effects

To use either of these features, you need to download the TikTok app from your smartphone’s dedicated app store. Once installed, you’ll see that TikTok is essentially a video app. In the initial screen, you’ll immediately see videos from various random users. Of course, before this, you’ll be prompted to select your preferences regarding video types, but that’s pretty much it.

To add a video yourself, navigate to the “Plus” sign towards the bottom of the screen, and tap it. Now, record your video or upload one from your storage.

To select a filter for the video, navigate to the right-hand side of the screen and you’ll see the Filters option. Tap it.

By default, you have four filter categories: Portrait, Landscape, Food, and Vibe. Now, filters basically come in different colors and coloring options. And that’s really all there is to say about the actual filters themselves.

Now, the Effects category is different. It’s located to the left of the Record button. Here, you can have some real fun. There are seven main TikTok filter categories: Trending, New, Special Effects, Face, Beauty, Backgrounds, and Animal.

Go in and take a look, they’re fairly self-explanatory. However, if you want to add some extra filters to your TikTok experience, you’re going to have to go a bit out of your way.
