How to Make the Anime Face Trend Video From One Photo

Your real selfie stays real; on top, a star-shaped cut-out of your own original anime twin’s eye sits exactly over one of your eyes, with three or four anime sticker stills of that twin around you.

The anime face trend — also called the anime eye or anime star eye trend — is a selfie edit: a moody photo that hides part of your face under a hood, a hand or your hair, with a star-shaped cut-out of an anime eye pasted exactly over one real eye and a few small anime stills around you: "the anime character I look like". Anime sticker photos took off in Vietnam in early October 2026 and the star eye format came from Kazakhstan a week later. RemixMeme draws an original anime twin from your own photo instead of pasting famous characters, so the picture is yours to post.

Where the trend came from

• The sound later used by the trend is posted under a fixed-gear bike video.
• A photo from Vietnam with anime faces pasted over three friends’ faces passes 1.8 million views on that sound.
• The star eye version — a hooded selfie with an anime eye in a star over the real eye — passes 1.3 million views from Kazakhstan.
• English how-tos start calling it the anime star eye trend and "my anime look alike"; the sound passes 39,000 videos a day later.

Before you start

You will need one photo. Photo tips that matter for this template:

• Face close to the camera — head and shoulders or closer; the eye under the star must be big and sharp.
• Hide a bit of your face like the trend (hood, sleeve, hair), but keep at least one eye clear.
• Moody light works best: evening window light or a lamp, with plain background space for stickers.
• Your hair and outfit decide your twin’s look; adults only, and only your own photo.

How to make it on RemixMeme

1. Open the Anime Face Trend template.
2. Upload one photo — JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 10 MB.
3. Confirm you have the rights to the photo and that everyone in it is 18+, then press Create.
4. Wait a few minutes for the ~15 s 9:16 MP4 and download it. Failed runs refund their credits.

What happens in the clip

| Time | Beat | |---|---| | 0–4 s | Your selfie — Your real photo — same face, pose, light and background — stays as it is. | | 4–8 s | The twin — An original anime twin with your hair, eye colour and outfit takes shape. | | 8–12 s | The star eye — A five-pointed star cut-out of the twin’s eye lands exactly over one of your eyes, at the same angle. | | 12–15 s | The stickers — Three or four rounded anime stills of your twin settle around you — the finished trend frame. |

If something looks off

• The star does not sit on your eye → use a closer selfie with one eye big, open and sharp.
• The twin does not look like you → show your hair and clothes clearly; every run draws a new twin.
• Stickers cover your face → regenerate, or use a photo with more empty background.
• Your real face looks smoothed → a very dark or blurry selfie can come back retouched; use a sharper one.

Posting tips

The clip carries no song. For a TikTok photo post, tap the trend’s sound under any anime star eye post and use it.

FAQ

Can I use a real anime character like in the trend posts?

Not on RemixMeme. Famous characters belong to their studios, so the template draws an original anime twin of you instead — same hair, eye colour and outfit.

Who is my anime look alike?

Here the AI does not pick a famous character; it draws an original one from your photo, so your look alike is literally drawn from you.

Is it an anime eye filter?

Closer to an anime sticker selfie. A live filter changes your eyes; this keeps your real face and places an anime eye in a star on top.

Do I get a photo or a video?

RemixMeme renders a short 9:16 clip that ends on the finished star eye frame. Pause on the last frame or screenshot it for a photo post.
