How to Do the AI Trend on TikTok: October 2026 Guide
The newest viral AI trends, and how to put yourself in one from a single photo.
The short answer
To do an AI trend on TikTok, find the trend you want, open its template, upload a clear photo of yourself and download the finished video. The AI puts you into the original clip with the same moves, camera and sound, so you don’t need to dance or film anything.
- Find the trend. Pick it from the list below, or search the name you saw on TikTok in the trend gallery.
- Upload your photo. One clear, well-lit photo of your face; group trends ask for one per person.
- Generate and download. Check the credit price on the button, generate and save the MP4 (no watermark).
- Post it. Upload to TikTok, add a caption and turn on the AI-generated content label.

Two ways to do an AI trend
Inside the TikTok app
TikTok has its own AI effects and templates, such as AI Alive, which animates a photo from the Stories camera. They’re free and quick, but you can only use the effects TikTok offers, and they don’t recreate a specific viral video.
Recreate the exact viral video
When the trend is a particular clip, like a viral dance, a music-video scene or a meme, trendai.video has a template built on that clip. You upload a photo and the AI recasts the person with you, keeping the original choreography, camera work and sound. Browse all AI trend templates or just the dance trends.
Tips for a better result
- Use a sharp, well-lit photo. Face the camera, with nothing covering your face.
- Show your whole body for dances. A full-body shot helps the AI match your outfit and proportions.
- Match the number of people. A duo trend needs two photos, one for each person.
- Only use photos you’re allowed to use. Yourself, or friends who said yes.
Frequently asked questions
What is the AI trend on TikTok?
There isn't just one. "The AI trend" usually means whichever AI edit is going viral right now: a viral dance or music-video scene with someone else's face in it, a photo that comes to life, or a seasonal look like Halloween photos. The list above shows the trends added to trendai.video in the last month, newest first.
How do I put myself in a viral TikTok video?
Open the trend's template on trendai.video, upload a clear photo of yourself and generate. The AI replaces the person in the original clip with you and keeps the moves, camera and sound, so the result looks like the trend you saw.
Do I need to dance or film anything?
No. One photo is enough for most templates. Trends with two or more people ask for one photo per person, and each template page says exactly what it needs.
Is it free?
TikTok's own built-in AI effects are free to use. trendai.video is credit-based: every template shows its credit price on the generate button before you start, and if a generation fails the credits go back to your balance.
Do the videos have a watermark?
No. Videos download as MP4 without a watermark, and most templates are vertical 9:16, so they're ready to post on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Do I have to label the video as AI on TikTok?
TikTok asks creators to label realistic AI-generated content. Turn on the AI-generated content label in the post settings before you publish.
Trend templates are independent AI recreations and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the artists or brands they reference.
