Create effects on the go with TikTok’s mobile effect editor

On TikTok, effects drive culture. They spark joy, inspire creativity, and ignite trends.

Last year, we launched Effect House - a desktop effect creation platform that empowers anyone to create effects for TikTok. Since then, effects built by our growing community of effect creators have made an enormous impact across TikTok, shaping trends, sparking connection, and powering creative storytelling.

To inspire continued creativity with effects and make effect creation accessible to more of our global community, we’re introducing a new, mobile effect creation experience.

Now available globally, TikTok’s mobile effect editor allows creators to make effects for TikTok directly from the TikTok app - without having to download another app or tool - offering creators an advanced, end-to-end effect creation experience on TikTok that puts effect creation at your fingertips.

That means anyone - no matter their skill level or access to advanced tools or software - can become an effect creator and make effects that spark trends on TikTok.
