What is the Artguru face swap trend on TikTok?

A WAVE of nostalgia is sweeping TikTok as a trend inspired by the 1990s is taking over the platform.

The craze was made possible by the artificial intelligence apps Artguru and Epik.

Social media users on TikTok, Instagram, and X are creating would-be photos of themselves from the 1990s using Artguru.

Artguru is an artificial intelligence app that allows users to generate fake images of themselves by choosing specific filters and effects.

Social media users have been taking part in the viral face-swap trend by saving another user's 90s yearbook picture and uploading it to Artguru.

By uploading the AI-generated 90s yearbook-themed photo from their fellow netizen, Artguru is able to create a similar picture.

How do I use Artguru face swap?

In order to participate in TikTok's 90s yearbook trend, Artguru appears to be the go-to platform for several netizens.

To access the Artguru face swap feature, users should do the following:

Screenshot or save an image from one of your followers who have posted their version of the 90s yearbook craze
Go to the Artguru site and press the 'Face Swap Now' tab
Next, select the 'Add Face' option
After choosing 'Add Face,' upload a photo of yourself
Then, upload the previous image saved from your followers so you can use it as a template
With both the image of yourself and the photo template uploaded, select 'Generate'

The program will supply the user with a series of photos that depict how you would look as a high school student during the 1990s.

If you prefer to participate in the 90s yearbook trend by not using Artguru, Epik acts as an alternative.

This program allows you to forego using someone else's photo for a yearbook-esque template.

However, Epik charges $4 for people to utilize its software.

If you wish to proceed, open the app and select the 'AI Yearbook' option.

Continue, upload several pictures of yourself, and wait for your images.
