1. Open TikTok and go to the effects panel

Launch the TikTok app.
Tap the plus (+) button to start creating a video.
On the left of the red record button, tap “Effects”

2. Search for the AI roast filter

In the Effects menu, tap the search icon.
Type “AI Roast”, “Roast me AI”, or “AI Portrait Roast” — the name varies depending on your region.
Look for the effect with an AI face or camera-style icon commonly used for AI filters.
Tap the filter to load it.

3. Upload photo

The filter may ask you to take a photo of yourself, which the AI will analyse and roast. Others work with a short video or a still frame taken automatically. Upload your photo and make sure your face is clearly visible.

5. Save and post

AI will create a video using the filter on TikTok, which you can save and post.
