The process is simple just like most filters these days, and the results can be easily shared on one’s profile which can be viewed by followers. Biologically speaking, it always takes two individuals to conceive a baby, but the astonishing part about  this filter is that enables users to predict the face of their future child solely based on their own looks. After analysing a photo of the user, the filter produces a simulated result in a picture form of what their hypothetical offspring would look like.

People have always been interested in what their future child may look like, and now there’s a filter on Tiktok that gives them a chance to see a hypothetical prediction.

Not just singles who wish to see their future baby but also couples who are planning a family in the future have been accessing this on TikTok using the CapCut filter to see who their future baby resembles more through this tool.
