How To Do the Zoom in Effect on TikTok

TikTok is the hub for millions of video content creators worldwide and comes with tools to improve your videos. These tools come in the effects and various editing options you can explore while and after recording a video. These effects are in filters that you can typically apply when recording. But there is more than one zoom effect on TikTok and a few ways to use them.

Usually, using the effect while recording will take care of the video outcome. However, you can still control your zooming effect by controlling the TikTok camera.

This article will cover how to use the Zoom effects on TikTok and how you can apply filters to create the Zoom effect.

How To Apply Zoom In Effect On TikTok

If you’re a creator on the TikTok app, you’ll know there are various effects on the app that you can apply while making your videos. These effects or filters get better over time with new trending videos, and more are being worked on daily for content creators. When you want to record a video, you’ll find the effect icon to the left of the big circle that allows you to record.

There are several zoom effects on TikTok, so you might have to experiment with a few before you get the one you want to use. You’ll find body zoom filters, face zoom filters, and effects with zoom properties but not necessarily on a body part.

Typically, the zoom filters are symbolized by icons that will have the shape of a face and arrows pointing in or out. Some might not have arrows to indicate they zoom in or out but might just be the icon of a face or bulging circle. It will help if you’ve gotten the specifics of the icon you want to use from a fellow content creator or a simple google search.
