The filter updates frame by frame as you move, with no wait for a render to finish.
What you can make
A real-time video filter online is more than a color tint or a face sticker — LiveGen restyles the whole frame with AI, so you and your background change together. A few of the looks you can create with a live video filter:
Cyberpunk and neon looks
Wash the whole frame in moody neon, rain, and sci-fi lighting for a stream intro or a short clip.
Painterly art styles
Restyle live footage into oil-paint, watercolor, or comic-ink treatments without editing a single frame by hand.
Character transforms
Live Morph & Reskin lets you become any character or creature live, with your motions and lighting carried through frame by frame; see live morph for how it works.
Seasonal and themed filters
Spooky, festive, or vintage-film aesthetics that match a holiday post or a themed broadcast.
Background-only filters
Keep yourself as you are and restyle only what's behind you with the AI Video Background Changer.
Because the filter is applied to the live signal, you can record the result, screen-capture it, or pipe it into a stream — whatever you'd do with any camera feed.
Features
Real-time video filter, free to start
Free credits to try your first live filter and explore the library.
Whole-frame transformation
Unlike a simple overlay, the filter restyles the entire live frame, not just a sticker on top; you and your surroundings shift together.
No render queue
Most video filter tools make you export and wait; LiveGen updates live as your camera streams.
Browser-based, no download
This is an online video filter with no download and no plugin, running over WebRTC on desktop and mobile with no GPU on your side.
Webcam or upload
Apply filters live on camera, or to an existing video file.
Switch on the fly
Change styles mid-session and compare looks instantly instead of re-rendering each one.
Standard video output
The filtered feed renders into an ordinary <video> element, so it fits into recording, capture, and streaming setups you already use.
The AI video filter is free to start: free exports carry a watermark, and paid tiers remove it and add HD (verify current pricing). Billing is simple — 1 credit = 1 second of generation.
Real-time vs upload-and-wait
Most "AI video filter" tools are batch generators: you record a clip, upload it, wait in a render queue, then download the finished file. That's fine for a one-off edit, but it breaks down the moment you want to react, iterate, or go live. A real-time video filter online works the other way around — the filter runs on your live feed frame by frame, so what you see is what you get, immediately.
| Upload-and-wait filters | LiveGen | |
|---|---|---|
| When you see the result | After the render finishes | Instantly, frame by frame |
| Typical workflow | Record, upload, wait, download | Open camera, filter appears live |
| Live streaming | Offline only | Filter your broadcast in real time |
| Trying a new look | Re-render every change | Switch filters live and compare on the spot |
| Install | Often an app or plugin | Runs in the browser, no download |
If your goal is a live look — for a stream, a call, or fast content — real time wins. If you only need to filter one finished clip, either approach works, and you can still upload a video and filter the footage after the fact.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this video filter tool free?
Yes. Opening your camera and applying your first live filter is free.
Is it actually real-time?
Yes. The filter updates frame by frame as your camera streams — there's no upload-and-wait render cycle.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It runs entirely in your browser on desktop or mobile.
Can I apply a filter to a video I already recorded?
Yes. Upload a video file if you'd rather filter existing footage instead of your live camera.
How is this different from a normal camera filter app?
Most filter apps overlay a sticker or color effect. LiveGen transforms the entire frame in real time using AI, so the change is a full visual shift, not a layer on top.
Does a live video filter work on my phone?
Yes. LiveGen runs in your mobile browser as well as on desktop — open the camera and the filter applies live, with nothing to install.
Will the filter change my background too?
Yes, by default. A real-time video filter online restyles the whole frame — you and your surroundings — rather than layering an effect on your face. If you only want to change what's behind you, use the AI Video Background Changer instead.
Can I use a live filter while streaming or on a video call?
Yes. Because the effect runs on your live feed, you can capture the filtered <video> output into streaming or meeting software the same way you'd use any camera.
Does filtering a real person's face need consent?
If a filter recreates the likeness of a real, identifiable person, you need their consent, and uploads are moderated under the Content Policy. Restyling your own look or a fictional character is unrestricted.
