More than a face sticker

Halloween filter for photos that changes the whole scene

This Halloween filter does more than add ears or a frame. It redraws the costume, makeup, hair and background around your real face, so the result looks like a real Halloween portrait.

How the Halloween filter works

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

    Use a clear, well-lit photo where faces (or your pet) fill a good part of the frame.

  2. 2

    Pick a look

    Pick a Halloween filter style. Skeleton makeup is a good first try because it works on almost any portrait.

  3. 3

    Download

    Your image is ready in about 20 seconds. Save it, share it, or try another look.

Halloween photo filter in one click

A camera Halloween filter tracks your face and lays a mask on top. This one works on a photo you already have, which means better light, more detail and a background that matches the costume.

Halloween makeup filter

Skeleton face paint, pale vampire skin or witchy eye makeup, painted on with your face shape still recognizable underneath.

Spooky photo filter

Fog, moonlight, candles and an abandoned carnival: the background changes with the costume, so the whole picture feels like October.

Works on old photos

Any clear portrait works, even one from last summer. A Halloween filter does not need you in costume or in front of a camera right now.

Tips for the best result

  1. 01

    Face the light

    Window light from the front gives the filter clean detail to work with.

  2. 02

    Fill the frame

    Crop so your face is large. Tiny faces in wide shots lose likeness.

  3. 03

    Skip other filters

    Upload the original, not a beautified or heavily edited copy.

  4. 04

    Try two styles

    Makeup looks and full costumes suit different faces, so compare a couple.

Will it still look like me?
