Baby Face Filter: Cover Your Face, Reveal a Younger-Looking You

What happens in the video

The Baby Face preview opens on a woman with long, wavy blonde hair in a grey hoodie, standing in front of a parked white car with blurred trees behind her. She closes her eyes, lifts both hands and covers her face, rings glinting on her fingers. As her palms slide down to her cheeks, the face underneath already looks rounder. She spreads her hands wide, opens her eyes, then lets her hands drop and looks straight into the camera with a softer, fuller-cheeked face that seems years younger. The hoodie, hair and parked cars carry over, though a small embroidered pattern appears on the hoodie's chest.

How to make it with Ginly AI

1. Install Ginly AI on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone and open it; no account is required, because Continue as Guest skips the sign-up.
2. On the Effects tab, open Fun & Entertainment Effects and choose Baby Face. It isn't filed under Transformation Effects, but a search on the All effects screen finds it.
3. Add one photo from your camera or gallery and crop it from the chest up, so the frame has room for the hands to rise toward your face.
4. Tap Generate, which spends credits. The clip then appears in your Library, where you can watch it, save it to your gallery or share it.

Tips for the best result

• Let your whole face show: eyes open and nothing over them, so no sunglasses, mask or hand at your mouth. The end shot is a younger-looking version of that same face, and anything covering it gets in the way.
• Crop from the chest up, the way the preview is framed. The hands rise from below, and a tight face-only crop leaves them nowhere to come from.
• Go for a calm, neutral expression. The preview starts and ends on a straight face, which keeps the before and after easy to compare.
• Choose soft, even light, like daylight from a window or open shade, so your features aren't lost in harsh shadows or a dim room.
• Use a photo of an adult: yourself, or someone who has said yes. Ginly AI is for users 18 and over, so never use children's photos with this effect.

Ideas to try

• Big birthday coming up? Post a clip of yourself 'aging backwards' on your 30th or 40th, and say in the caption that it's AI.
• Make one for a friend who's always told they look young: use a photo they like, send them the clip first and post it only if they say yes.
• Pair it with the AI aging video, where an older you walks in, for a younger-and-older double feature from your own photos, both captioned as AI-made.
