How to do TikTok’s ‘How I Would Look In The 70s’ Filter and go back in time
A filter is taking over TikTok that shows what you’d look like in the 70s, the post-war baby boom era which is famously associated with the hippy movement.

TikTok’s ‘How I Would Look In The 70s’ Filter
The viral filter uses artificial intelligence to take you back in time to the 1970s, which was now 50 years ago.
You upload a photo of yourself and the effect does the rest for you, changing your appearance so it looks like the image was taken five decades ago.
It adds a sepia effect to the picture and alters your hair, face, and clothes to a stereotypical 70s style, with long hair and retro fashion.
The TikTok filter then does a cool ‘before and after’ effect and adds text that says: “How I would look in the 70s.”
