META.AI
Have you checked out Meta’s latest AI video tool? It’s pretty wild. Basically, you can take any video clip and have AI completely transform it. Want to turn yourself into a video game character? Done. Prefer sipping piña coladas in Hawaii without leaving your living room? Easy. There’s even a retro 80s cartoon filter that makes you look like you stepped straight out of Saturday morning TV. And the best part—it’s free.
Meta calls this feature Restyle, and it’s part of their growing AI suite. Right now, you don’t type in prompts like you would with an image generator. Instead, you pick from a bunch of ready-made “styles” that go way beyond basic filters. This isn’t just slapping a color overlay on your video; the AI actually reshapes textures, clothing, and even the environment around you.
How to Get Started
The easiest way to try it is through the Meta AI app (available in your app store). Just install it, open it up, and you’ll see a simple interface. Tap the plus button in the corner, choose a clip from your gallery, and you’re ready to play. Short clips work best since processing takes a little time.
Categories of Styles
Meta Restyle has a surprisingly deep list of options. Here are a few highlights:
-
Fashion looks: tuxedos, ballet outfits, streetwear, gothic styles, superhero gear—even cheetah print or fur coats.
-
Locations: teleport to a private jet, medieval castle, snow lodge, cherry blossom field, or even outer space.
-
Weird/fun filters: llama, jelly, spaghetti hair, teddy bear, Bigfoot—you get the idea. This category is pure chaos.
-
Lighting effects: sunset glow, neon vibes, dreamy pastel tones, and more.
-
Art styles: 3D Pixar-style, watercolor, anime, pencil sketch, 8-bit retro, graphic novel—you can really change the mood of your video here.
Demo in Action
For example, I uploaded a short clip of myself waving outside. First, I picked the “Llama” filter. In a couple of minutes, the app transformed me into a full-on llama while keeping my movements and even my watch intact. Then I tried the “Paper” style—it reimagined the whole scene in a textured paper world while still keeping my gestures natural. That’s the difference between AI transformation and a basic filter—the AI adapts lighting, textures, and motion to the original scene. All of this and mostly free!
Final Thoughts
Honestly, it’s one of the most fun AI tools I’ve seen in a while. If you want to experiment, grab the Meta AI app and try Restyle yourself. Share your favorite transformations—I’d love to see what creative stuff you come up with.
