Which photo works best?

Use one clear photo, the sharper the better: your face toward the camera, in good light.

  • You: a photo of you alone, waist up or full body. Clothes, glasses, jewelry and tattoos carry over.
  • Couple: one photo of the two of you together, both faces clear.
  • Pet: a sharp photo of your cat or dog, face toward the camera.
  • No sunglasses, no hand over the face. Adults only (18+). Logos on clothes become plain fabric.

Where did this trend start?

AI took over the big-head caricature look in two waves: a 3D prompt in December 2025, then chatbot "caricature of me and my job" posts in February 2026. The version rising now is a template called "Caricature Trend", made on 15 August 2026: it wipes from your photo to a 3D caricature of your funny older self. Couples post it as "growing old together".

The AI Caricature prompts

You do not need these: the one-tap flow runs them. A photo prompt builds the caricature, then a video prompt animates it.

You

1 photo: you (18+), face clear, waist up or full body

Kling 3.0 · 10 s · 1080p · 9:16 · 56 credits

Step 1 · Photo prompt

Use the uploaded image as the base. A highly stylized 3D caricature of the person in the uploaded photo, with an oversized head, expressive facial features, and playful exaggeration. Smooth polished style, soft ambient lighting. The trend look: the person as their funny older self, about thirty years older: grey or silver hair, soft wrinkles and deep laugh lines, big bushy eyebrows, a slightly bigger nose and ears, same eye color, skin tone, face shape, glasses, beard, jewelry and tattoos. The head is about a third of the whole height, on a smaller body in the same pose and clothes. A smile becomes a big smug grin, a straight face becomes a grumpy frown. Background from the photo, simplified and warm, or a warm dark brown studio. Vertical 9:16. Friendly and funny, never cruel. Grown adults only. Five fingers. No text, logos or watermark.

Step 2 · Video prompt

One continuous shot with no cuts, the camera slowly pushes in. Keep the 3D caricature style, the face, the big head, the hair, the clothes and the background. Never a real photo, never younger. 0-2 s: still like a portrait, then blink. 2-5 s: a big grumpy frown and a skeptical side-eye. 5-8 s: the frown turns into a big smug grin, eyebrows wiggle twice. 8-10 s: a small cheeky shrug and a wink. Audio: light playful cartoon music, a small grumpy "hmph" and a chuckle. No spoken words. No morphing, no text, no logos.

Couple

1 photo: the two of you together (adults), both faces clear

Kling 3.0 · 10 s · 1080p · 9:16 · 56 credits

Step 1 · Photo prompt

Use the uploaded image as the base. A highly stylized 3D caricature of the two people, oversized heads, as a funny old couple about thirty years older. Each keeps their own face, gender, place, glasses and clothes. Never blend faces. Head about a third of height. Warm simplified background. Vertical 9:16. Friendly, never cruel. Grown adults only. No text or logos.

Step 2 · Video prompt

One continuous shot, camera slowly pushes in. Keep both 3D caricature faces. 0-2 s: both blink. 2-5 s: the one on the left gives a long grumpy side-eye; the one on the right keeps a smug grin. 5-8 s: an eye roll and a shoulder bump. 8-10 s: they lean their big heads together, the grumpy one smiles, the other winks. Audio: cartoon music, a "hmph" and a shared chuckle.

Pet

1 photo: your pet, face clear, facing the camera

Kling 3.0 · 10 s · 1080p · 9:16 · 56 credits

Step 1 · Photo prompt

Use the uploaded image as the base. A highly stylized 3D caricature of the pet with an oversized head. Same species, breed, fur, markings and collar, with a touch of grey on the muzzle and huge expressive eyes. Head about half of height, paws not human hands. Vertical 9:16. Cute, never scary. No people, no text.

Step 2 · Video prompt

One continuous shot, camera slowly pushes in. Keep the 3D pet caricature. 0-2 s: blinks huge eyes. 2-5 s: furry eyebrows down, unimpressed side-eye. 5-8 s: a huff, then a smug head tilt. 8-10 s: a lick of the nose, eyes on the lens. Audio: cartoon music and a small animal sound. Paws, never human hands.
