How to Do the Angel or Devil Filter AI Trend
The angel or devil filter puts two racing percentages above your head before revealing a halo or red horns. Here's how to turn a single photo into your own version, pick an ending and share it.
What is the angel or devil filter?
The effect began as a playful face filter: an angel and a devil appear over the subject while their percentages race. A reveal and the subject's reaction provide the punchline. The result is a game, not a judgment of anyone's personality.
The effect has appeared on TikTok for years. @illysillyyyy's 2024 post shows the devil reveal; this 2026 tutorial shows the later one-photo AI wave.

Choose a photo
- Use one clear, front-facing chest-up photo in good light.
- Leave room above the head for the meter and halo or horns.
- Keep the face and hair visible. Use your own photo or a consenting adult's photo.
A simple background helps the floating icons and percentages stand out.

The reveal, second by second
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–3 seconds | The devil and angel icons appear and the counters start. |
| 3–6 seconds | The percentages climb together while you look up. |
| 6–8 seconds | The chosen side wins and a halo or horns appear. |
| 8–10 seconds | You react to the result. |
AI video results vary: numbers, icons, sound and timing may differ from the intended sequence.
Make it with your own prompt
Use an image-to-video model and describe a continuous vertical selfie shot, preserving the subject's face and setting. Place a red devil icon and angel wings above the head, give each a percentage, and ask for both to rise before your chosen reveal.
For exact digits, add the meter in a video editor after generation. Models can distort text and numbers.
Ideas for posting
- Make both endings from the same photo and ask which one fits.
- Tag a consenting friend and invite them to try their own photo.
- Add your own caption and, if you like, a sound available on the platform.
