What is the hole in shirt trend?+
It is a TikTok photo effect from October 2026, also called the hole in shirt filter and "you inside your own shirt". A round hole in the front of your shirt shows a small copy of you inside, with a glowing blue ring around it and sparkles. People made it with a CapCut template, and here AI makes it from one photo.
Where does the hole in shirt effect come from?+
From a CapCut template by the user BABLO that went around in Burkina Faso in October 2026. A CapCut how-to by @yr5sdowfg6 on 18 October 2026 reached about 363,000 views, and from 19 October hundreds of users, most of them in Burkina Faso, posted their own photos on its sound. No post of the effect has reached a million views yet.
How do I make the hole in shirt effect?+
Press "Create your own", pick Video or Photo, add one photo of yourself, waist up, and press Generate. You get the picture with the hole and the mini you, and with Video, an 8-second clip where the mini you waves. You need no CapCut template and no editing.
Is it a filter? Is there a hole in shirt filter app?+
It works like a filter, but it is not a live camera filter: you upload a photo and get a finished picture or video. This page is the app: it runs in the browser. On TikTok the hole in shirt effect tiktok posts are made with a CapCut photo template, and the how-to videos show how to open it.
Is it the same as the ripped shirt prank?+
No. The ripped shirt prank is an older CapCut filter from August 2026 that puts tears and holes in a friend's shirt as a joke. The hole in shirt effect has one clean, round hole, like a window, with a mini you inside it. If you search for a hole in t shirt effect with a mini me, you are in the right place.
Can I get just a picture, like the CapCut template?+
Yes. Pick **Photo**: you get one 2K picture with the hole, the mini you, the blue ring and the sparkles, ready for a photo post. It is the cheapest version. Pick **Video** when you want the mini you to wave.
Is this a mini me AI or a mini me effect?+
Both. The mini me effect here is the small copy of you inside your own shirt. It is a mini me ai picture made from your photo: the mini you has your face, hair and clothes. If you search for "mini me inside my shirt", this is that effect.
Does the hole show my body?+
No. The hole is a window into a small copy of your photo. It never shows skin, a chest or underwear: the prompt bans it, and the rim of fabric frames the mini you only.
Does the video have the trend's sound?+
The video comes with its own soft, dreamy tune. The TikTok posts use the how-to's sound, "original sound" by Puff. To use it, tap the sound under any hole in shirt post on TikTok and press Use this sound when you post your clip.
Who can use it?+
Adults, with their own photo. Never use a photo of a child, a celebrity or another person without their yes. The picture and the video are AI-made: keep the platform's AI label on when you post.
Does it cost credits?+
Yes. The Photo version costs a few credits; the Video versions cost more, because they make a picture and then a video. The create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything, and if a run fails, the credits come back.
Is my photo private?+
Yes. MakeViral does not post your photo or the result anywhere or show them to other users. The result goes to your private My videos page, and you can delete it there at any time.
