TikTok is ushering in a new era in personalized avatar creation by unveiling a feature that will create AI-generated profile pictures. Although the tool appears similar to Prisma Labs' Lensa app, it would be built right into TikTok, making it more conveniently accessible than ever before.
Generate Unique and Customized Avatars With TikTok's New AI Avatar Feature
According to the story by The Verge, to use the AI avatar feature, the user is prompted to upload three to ten photos, followed by their choice of two to five styles for their generated photos. Once ready, the images can be downloaded, used as profile pictures, or posted to their TikTok story.
Examples of the tool, shared by social media consultant Matt Navarra, showcase a variety of fun effects that can be used to create unique and customized avatars. This new feature will give users more opportunities to express their personalities through avatars.
It provides an easy and entertaining way to make unique profile pictures without hard technical know-how. In addition, this tool could prove particularly popular amongst young TikTok users, who may have no previous experience with photo manipulation apps.
Explore New Possibilities with TikTok's AI-Avatar Feature
In light of this new AI-avatar feature, TikTok is certainly cementing its position as a powerful and versatile platform for the creative expression of users, as explained further in an article by Forbes.
Whether users use it to make funny videos, express themselves through dance, or now swap their avatar with a more interesting image generated with AI, there is something for everyone on TikTok.
TikTok didn't immediately reply to a request for comment, but we are definitely excited to see what this new feature could bring. At first glance, it will be similar to what users are used to seeing from Prisma Labs' Lensa app.
An Opportunity to Stand Out from the Crowd with AI-generated Avatars
However, with this new AI-generated feature inside TikTok, users will see a lot of people's creative avatars, allowing them to stand out from the crowd even more.
This AI feature won't require users to submit three to ten photos like similar apps. Users can also select from two to five styles to give users avatars a unique flair and ensure no two avatars look the same.
Given the various styles Navarra showcased in his examples, which included modern and cartoonish looks, it's clear that people will have a lot of fun designing their own looks.
