## What is the Anime Eye Trend AI Photo?

The anime eye trend, also called the anime star eye trend or the anime face trend, is the selfie edit taking over TikTok in October 2026. You post a moody selfie, half your face hidden under a hood or behind your hand, and a star-shaped cut-out of an anime eye sits exactly over one of your real eyes, with small anime stickers around you: "the anime character I look like".

The format spread fast. In early October, photos from Vietnam with anime faces pasted over friends' faces passed 1.8 million views; the star-eye version followed from Kazakhstan on 16 and 17 October, with one post passing 1.3 million views. By 19 October English how-tos for the anime star eye trend were everywhere, three of them passing 150,000 to 200,000 views each, and #animeeyetrend had more than 1.6 million views.

Most people make it by hunting for an anime character who looks like them. This template skips that: from one selfie, the AI draws your own original anime twin, with your hair, eye colour and outfit, puts its eye in the star over yours and adds three or four sticker panels of your twin around you. Your real photo stays as it is. The result is a vertical 9:16 photo made with Nano Banana 2, with no watermark. The trend posts on this page are credited to their creators; the poster image is AI-generated.

## Your own anime twin, not a borrowed character

In the trend, people search for a screenshot of an anime character who looks like them. Here the AI draws an original character from your selfie instead, so the stickers really look like you and you do not need to find or crop anything.

## Make it a video

The trend posts are photos set to a sound. Post the image with the trending sound on TikTok, or put it in a slideshow with your original selfie first and the anime eye version second.

## How to use it

1. Open https://soracai.com/ai-anime-eye-trend and upload a photo (Your selfie).
2. Press Generate (10 credits, shown on the button before you run it).
3. Wait about 15 seconds; the result is also saved to My Creations.
4. Download the image without a watermark. Failed runs are refunded automatically.

- Hide part of your face like the trend: a hood, a sleeve or a hand over your mouth.
- Moody light works best: evening window light or a lamp in a dark room.
- Your hair and outfit decide what your anime twin looks like.
- Type a style wish if you like, e.g. "pastel stickers" or "heart-shaped cut-out".

## Use cases

- Your own anime eye trend post on TikTok or Instagram.
- A profile picture with your personal anime twin.
- A carousel slide next to your real selfie for a before-and-after.

## FAQ

A TikTok selfie edit from October 2026: a star-shaped cut-out of an anime eye sits over one of your real eyes, with small anime stickers around you, usually set to a moody sound.

### How do I do the anime star eye trend with AI?

Upload one close selfie and press Generate. The AI draws your own anime twin, puts its eye in a star over yours and adds three or four sticker panels around you.

### Is it free?

New accounts get free credits for photo templates, so you can try it at no cost. More runs use credits from a pack or plan, and the cost is shown before you generate.

No. Your selfie stays as it is; the star and the stickers are added on top.

### Is there a watermark?

No. Images download without a watermark.

### Where is my photo stored?

Uploads are stored in Firebase Storage (Google Cloud) under your account so the run can happen and the result appears in Creations. They are not public, and you can email support to request deletion. To run the effect, a copy is sent to our AI model provider (kie.ai); result files are kept for 14 days, so download what you want to keep.
