The front-camera shot that started the trend. Same hair, same sweater, rebuilt as a doll.
AI crochet filter · October 2026 trend
Crochet filter for any photo
Crochet Filter is the AI crochet filter for the knitted-photo look. Try a sample or your own picture and watch a yarn doll appear. This page plays a finished demo. The real generate opens for the waitlist.
These are the demo pairs the preview plays. A photo you upload is not sent to a server.
In October 2026 the crochet filter spread on TikTok: people pasted a prompt into ChatGPT to turn a selfie into a yarn doll, then sometimes ran that still through CapCut. This page does the transformation in one upload.
How the crochet filter works
- 01
Upload a clear photo
A person, a pet, or an object. JPG, PNG, or WebP under 6 MB. The face or the object should fill the frame.
- 02
Pick a yarn style
Amigurumi doll is the TikTok look. Crochet portrait, Knitted, and Pastel yarn are the other presets.
- 03
Watch the demo
The button plays a pre-made before and after so you can judge the look. Your file stays in the browser. Join the waitlist for the real filter.
What people make
Pets
Dogs and cats keep ear shape and coat color. A face-on photo beats a running shot.
Couples
Both faces large in the frame, plus a detail line if the coats should stay red and denim.
Keepsakes
A baby or family photo for a card or a print. Leave the public gallery off unless you mean to publish it.
Objects
A sneaker, a mug, a bouquet — a yarn version of the thing, not a human doll holding it.
TikTok posts
Download the JPG, paste the copied caption, and upload it in TikTok. The link lets the next person try their own photo.

Questions people actually ask
ChatGPT needs a pasted prompt and depends on your plan. This preview shows the yarn-doll look in one click without a prompt. Real generate is not live yet; when it opens it will send a tuned edit prompt to an image model.
CapCut was often the second step for motion or captions, not the tool that created the doll. There is no single official CapCut effect that replaces this upload. Crochet Filter focuses on the still transform.
Yes. This preview is free, does not call a paid model, and does not charge cards. Planned credit packs are waitlist entry points until checkout opens.
No. In this preview your photo stays in the browser and is never uploaded. The doll you see next to it is a site demo sample.
