The trend
How do I do the AI caricature trend with my photo?
Upload one photo and get an 8-second vertical video: it starts on your photo, swipes into a 3D caricature of you with a big head and exaggerated features, then the caricature frowns, grins and winks.

- You get
- A 5 to 8-second MP4 (9:16) up to 1080p, with a cartoon swoosh and a short jingle, no watermark, usually in 2 to 5 minutes.

What is the AI Caricature meme?
The caricature trend turns a photo into a big-headed 3D caricature; a CapCut template for it was made in August 2026 and used tens of thousands of times by October, with couples posting grumpy-old-couple versions. Earlier caricature trends go back to late 2025.
What happens in the video
- Your photo
- Swipe into a 3D caricature
- A grumpy frown
- A smug grin and a wink
Best photo for a AI Caricature video

FAQ
AI Caricature Trend FAQ
Is it a still caricature or a video?
A video: your photo turns into the caricature, which then moves and winks.
Can I do a couple caricature?
Not in this template yet: one person per photo.
What sound does it have?
A cartoon swoosh and a short jingle the AI makes; you can turn it off.
How do I make my own AI Caricature video?
Upload one clear photo (no sign-in needed), pick the options, then pay for just that video or use credits (a 8-second 720p video on Seedance 2.0 Fast uses 35 credits). Download the MP4 a few minutes later and post it.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Add your photo and make the video right away: it stays in My videos on this browser. Sign in with Google to keep your videos on any device, buy credit packs or send a gift.
How long does it take?
Usually 2 to 5 minutes. The video shows up in My videos as soon as it's ready, even if you close the page.
Is it free?
No. Videos use credits: from $9.99 for 40 credits, or with a subscription. Credits are taken only when a video starts and given back if it fails.
How long do you keep my photos and videos?
Photos are deleted automatically after 30 days (after 2 days if you never made a video with them). Videos stay in My videos until you delete them, and you can delete everything from your account at any time. Your photos are never used to train AI models.
What if a video fails?
The credits go back to your balance automatically and you can try again. Not happy with your first paid video? Email us within 7 days for a full refund.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits you buy or get as a gift never expire. Subscription credits stay too, even after you cancel.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, any time from My videos. It stops at the end of the period you paid for, and you keep your credits.
Can I give credits to a friend?
Yes. Turn any number of your credits into a gift link, or buy a pack as a gift. Your friend signs in, opens the link, and the credits are theirs.
How do I pay?
Checkout is run by Waffo Pancake, our Merchant of Record: Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Prices are in US dollars.
Is Turnly an app, a filter or the official AI Caricature maker?
No. Turnly is an independent website, not made by or affiliated with the creators of the AI Caricature meme, TikTok or CapCut. There's no app or live filter: you upload a photo in your browser and get a new AI video. It never uses or edits the original clip.
