The meter is an old TikTok face effect. Posts tagged #angeldevilfilter go back to August 2021. In the version that took off, you pray, plead or smirk while two numbers count up under a pair of angel wings and a red devil face. The first post of the meter we found with a million views is by the Italian creator @illysillyyyy on 4 October 2024 (1.1 million views): her devil side wins, the screen turns red and horns grow. Compilations called "angel or demon filter" followed: the biggest we checked reached 4.9 million views in October 2025. In 2026 the filter moved to phone video editors. Template how-to accounts promise an "AI angel and devil" effect from one photo: one how-to from 12 February 2026 has 3 million views. A new wave started on 10 October 2026 with a how-to of 1.06 million views, and two more from 15 October have about a million each. On 24 October the sounds of two newer how-tos, from a US and a Mexican account, were adding about 100 posts a day between them. ### Angel or Devil Filter trend timeline - **2021-08-01**: The oldest post tagged #angeldevilfilter that we found, from the Philippines.

The video model takes your photo as a reference ([Image 1]) and films the scene straight from it, with no photo step first. AI Video takes one photo as the first frame, so it cannot run this prompt the same way: the prompt is here to read. #### Variant: Meter Settings: 1 photo (you (18+), a selfie, chest up, face clear) · Seedance 2.5 · 10 s · 720p · 9:16 · with sound · 126 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text A viral "angel or devil filter" video, made from [Image 1]: one continuous selfie shot with no cuts, vertical 9:16, photorealistic, filmed with the phone's front camera at arm's length, chest up, the face large, sharp and in the lower middle of the frame, in the same room or place as [Image 1], so there is space above the head. The person in the video is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), and keep the clothes, the hair and the place from [Image 1], so their friends recognize them at once. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last. THE METER, like a phone face filter: at the top of the frame, above the head, two small flat cartoon sticker icons float side by side and stay fixed on the screen the whole time, never on the person: on the LEFT a red cartoon devil face with tiny horns and red bat wings, on the RIGHT a pair of white feathered angel wings with a thin golden halo. Under each icon is ONE big bold white number with a percent sign and a thin dark outline, easy to read. The LEFT number always belongs to the devil and the RIGHT number to the angel. 0-3 s: both numbers start at 0% and count up together. The person looks into the lens with a nervous smile, hands pressed together under the chin, as if praying for a good result. 3-6 s: the numbers climb neck and neck, step by step: 12% and 11%, 25% and 26%, 39% and 38%, 54% and 54%. Small natural head moves: the person glances up at the numbers, bites the lip, raises one eyebrow. 6-8 s: both numbers stop at 58% and 58%: a perfect tie. The person stares at the numbers in mock shock. 8-10 s: the person laughs, shrugs, and gives the camera a sly smirk and a wink: half angel, half devil. No halo and no horns appear. Audio: a soft quick ticking while the numbers climb, a short drum roll that stops at the tie, and the person's real laugh. No music, no spoken words. Playful and funny, like a phone face filter: a cartoon halo and cartoon horns, nothing scary. No pentagram, no cross, no religious symbol, no skull, no fangs, no blood, no fire, no black or glowing eyes, no dark horror look. One person only, a grown adult. Five fingers on each hand. The only text in the whole video is the two numbers with their percent signs: no title, no words, no captions, no subtitles, no stickers other than the two icons, no emojis, no logos, no watermark, no app interface. ``` 2.

Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/angel-or-devil-ai-filter/create?variant=pet ### Which photo works best? Use **one clear photo of you**, like a selfie: from the chest up, your face toward the camera, in good light. - Leave some room above your head if you can: the meter floats there. - Your photo's own room, clothes and hair stay in the clip, so pick one you like. - No sunglasses, no hand over the face, no beauty filter, no hat that hides the hair (the halo and the horns sit on your head). - One person per photo, an adult (18+). For the **Pet** version, a sharp photo of your cat or dog, head and chest, facing the camera. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 10 s, 720p, straight from your photos, one tap | 126 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in the video, second by second? Every version is one continuous selfie-style shot made from your photo, with the two icons at the top of the frame: a little red devil face with bat wings on the left and white angel wings with a golden halo on the right, each with a big percent number under it. | Time | Meter | Angel wins | Devil wins | |---|---|---|---| | 0-3 s | You hold your hands together and smile nervously. The numbers start to climb. | The same | The same | | 3-6 s | Neck and neck: 25% and 26%, 39% and 38%. You glance up and bite your lip. | Neck and neck up to 54% and 54% | Neck and neck up to 54% and 54% | | 6-8 s | 58% and 57%: still a tie | The angel side jumps to 96%, a golden halo floats down onto your head | The devil side jumps to 91%, the light turns red, two small red horns grow | | 8-10 s | You laugh, shrug and wink: half angel, half devil | You beam, hands on your cheeks, thumbs up | You grin, rub your hands and give a playful evil laugh | It is 10 seconds, vertical, 720p, with its own sound: a soft ticking while the numbers climb, a chime or a whoosh at the end, and your laugh. ## Meter, Angel wins, Devil wins or Pet: which one? **Meter** is the look of the template how-tos: the numbers race neck and neck and end in a tie, so your friends argue in the comments. **Angel wins** and **Devil wins** give the ending the TikTok effect is famous for: a halo with a soft white glow, or small cartoon horns in red light. **Pet** answers the oldest joke of the filter, "is my dog an angel or a devil?": your pet looks innocent while the devil side wins and tiny red horns pop up between its ears. This angel or devil AI filter makes all four straight from your photo with top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5, with no in-between picture, so your face stays yours. The price of each version shows on the create page before you start. No face effect, other app or editor is needed. The numbers are drawn by the AI video model, so now and then a digit can come out a little off. The icons, the halo and the horns are the part that always reads. ## Angel or demon filter, angel vs devil filter: one trend, many names People search the same meter as the **angel or demon filter**, the **angel and devil filter**, the angel devil filter, the angel demon filter, the **devil or angel filter**, the **angel vs devil filter** and the devil or angel test filter. The template how-tos call it an AI angel and devil dual-personality effect, and the filter itself is often just the angel or devil meter. Captions ask the same question in every language, are you an angel or a devil?, and many people type it into search just like that: are you angel or devil filter. It is a game, not a real test: the result is set by the version you pick, never by your face or your photo. ## Tips for posting your angel or devil filter video - Post the Meter version with "the filter couldn't decide" and ask your friends to vote angel or devil. - Make Angel wins and Devil wins of the same photo and post them side by side, or as a two-part story. - Tag your best friend with Devil wins: "this filter knows you". - For Halloween, it pairs well with an [AI Halloween costume](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/ai-halloween-costume) try-on, where an angel and devil couple costume is one of the picks. - The video has no text apart from the two numbers, so add your own caption on top. ## Angel or Devil Filter trend questions ### What is the angel or devil filter? It is a TikTok face effect, around since at least 2021, that puts two icons over your head, angel wings with a halo and a red devil face, with a percent number under each. The numbers count up, and at the end a halo drops onto your head or red horns grow. People post their reaction as the meter decides. ### How do I get the angel or devil filter on a photo? Pick a version, upload one clear selfie and start. MakeViral turns the photo into a 10-second clip of you with the meter over your head and the ending you picked: a tie, a halo or horns. You do not need the face effect or a template app. ### Is there an angel or devil filter app? On TikTok it is a face effect you record with in the camera. Template how-tos also send people to phone video editors. MakeViral works in your browser: one photo in, a finished clip with sound out. ### Does the filter really tell if I am an angel or a devil? No. The angel or devil test filter is a game. On TikTok the numbers are random, and here the version you pick decides the ending. Nothing about your face or your photo is judged. ### Is the angel or demon filter the same thing? Yes. Angel or demon filter, angel and devil filter, devil or angel filter and angel vs devil filter are all names for the same meter over your head. ### Can I make it with my dog or cat? Yes, pick Pet and upload a photo of your pet. It sits and looks innocent while the meter counts, then the devil side wins and tiny cartoon horns pop up between its ears. ### Is it scary? No. The halo and the horns are cartoon-style and the clip stays playful: no fangs, no blood, no symbols, no dark horror look. The devil ending is a cheeky grin in red light. ### Can I use a photo of a child or a celebrity? No. Use a photo of yourself or of an adult (18+) who agreed to it. We do not make this video of children, celebrities or strangers. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [AI Halloween Costume Try-On: See Yourself in a Costume Before You Buy](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/ai-halloween-costume): Add one full-body photo, type or pick a costume, and see yourself in it at a Halloween party.
