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”.
  2. Turn on “AI” at the top of the menu bar below
  3. Select an AI illustration from the box below and tap it.

Another great thing about the AI avatar function is that when there are multiple people in the photo, you can choose the type of AI illustration for each person! If the shape of the illustration becomes distorted, you can tap the same AI illustration again to have it automatically regenerated, so you can try again if you’re not satisfied with it.

There are also a variety of styles available, from the “1990s style” that makes you look like an anime protagonist to the “3D style and avatar” that looks like you’d come out of a game, so you can appear in the photo without ruining the atmosphere of the background!

You can also create different styles of manga-style photos with the versatile photo editing app “BeautyPlus”! The difference between the manga processing and the AI avatar above is whether or not the background is also turned into a manga. If you want to cartoonize the overall atmosphere like a manga! If that’s the case, try using this.


Choose from six different manga styles from the AI filter “Cartoon”. There are also many other free face blurring effects, such as painting-style and modern art-style effects, so if you want to hide your face in an Instagram-worthy way, be sure to give them a try.
