Face Hiding with the Popular AI-generated Illustrations

The latest trend in face hiding is the automatic generation of AI illustrations! If the photo clearly shows a face, an AI illustration will be automatically generated.

Face hiding has become popular on Instagram recently, and its main feature is that it creates a photo that makes it look like you have turned into an anime character.

The image editing app “BeautyPlus” has a wide variety of AI illustrations that can be automatically generated, so find an avatar that suits your taste♪

  1. After opening “BeautyPlus”, select the photo you want to automatically generate an AI illustration from “+” > “Photo Editing”.

This face-hiding edit is popular on Instagram, and we recommend combining it with cute emojis and stamps to hide your face!

There are times when you want to hide your face in a photo taken in real time, such as on Instagram Stories. In those cases, we recommend using the face-hiding stamps that Instagram provides! When looking for stamps to hide your face on Instagram, I recommend searching for “mass-produced” as you’ll find a lot of results (*^^*)

  1. Open the Instagram story posting screen
  2. Tap the icon on the bottom left to select a photo
  3. Tap the face icon in the middle of the five icons on the top right
  4. After choosing a stamp and hiding your face, tap “⋯” > “Save” in the top right corner to complete the process!

In addition to mass-produced stamps, you can search for the scene in the photo to find stylish face-hiding stamps that match the atmosphere! For example, if you have a photo of you playing at the beach, searching for “sea” or “fish” will bring up stamps that match the atmosphere of the photo, allowing you to create a stylish face-hiding style that will look great on Instagram. We recommend trying out a variety of options.
