How to get the viral Lego name filter on TikTok

As a seasoned TikToker with over a decade of digital artistry under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest trend sweeping the platform is none other than the Lego name filter! Having dabbled in everything from the Emoji Name and Bouquet filters, I was intrigued to see how this one would stack up.


Users of TikTok are trying out a filter that transforms their names into custom Lego figurines, but some are having trouble locating the filter within the app.

Recently, personalized filters using names have gained immense popularity on TikTok. Some of the top favorites include the “Emoji Name” filter and the “Name as Bouquet” effect.

On the platform, there’s a new trend sweeping up – customizing Lego characters with usernames. Users are now crafting distinctive and individual Lego figurines using their own names.

Two distinct types of filters exist; one, often referred to as the “masculine” filter, generates figures with a more masculine appearance, while the other, known as the “feminine” filter, produces figures with a more feminine aesthetic.

As I’m typing this up, it seems the feminine variant of the filter is really catching on, boasting an impressive 18,300 videos, while the masculine version currently trails behind with just 614 videos in circulation.

On the TikTok app, you can instantly apply the “Name-as-Lego” filter without hassle, but locating it might seem tricky if you’re unsure where to search. Here’s a simple guide on how to access it:
