How to remove TikTok filters while making a video

TikTok may be applying all sorts of filters to your video by default. If you want a clean, untouched look, you’ll need to disable them all. Here are the steps to follow;

• In the TikTok app, tap the Plus icon at the bottom to start a new video.
• At the bottom left, tap Effects and tap any selected effect to turn it off.
• If the Retouch icon at the top right has a red checkmark, tap it to deselect it. You should see Beauty mode off briefly appear on screen. 
• Next, tap the Filters icon. Tap the circle with the diagonal line at the top left of the pop-up menu.
• Now, all the filters and effects are now disabled, so you can record your video and get a clean, “unplugged” appearance.  

How to remove a filter from a saved TikTok video

Unfortunately, the only video you can remove filters from are ones you are actually recording and editing. Saved videos — whether that’s a video in your drafts folder or a video from another creator that you’ve liked or saved — can be edited, but you can’t remove the filters and effects that already exist in the video. 

You might see a lot of articles or videos claiming that this is possible, but it’s unfortunately not. Any effects or filters are “baked into” the video when it’s recorded, not saved as a separate layer or in metadata. That means it’s a permanent part of the video after you or another TikToker saves the video.
