Today we are going to show you how to use Disney-style Cartoon Face 3D filter on Instagram. This is a filter that has become very popular on social media since Snapchat created it, it gives the user the appearance of a Disney character.
This Cartoon 3D Style lens filter allows us to see our face as if it were a princess or a prince from one of the Disney movies. After it ended up becoming a phenomenon, Instagram too has created its own filter called Cartoon Face which will turn our selfies into Disney characters. The most fascinating part about this Instagram filter is, it gives you the look of a Disney princess or prince with huge eyes.
Cartoon Face filter was actually released in August 2020, and then another 3D filter called Cartoon followed it. The latter was more advanced as it monitors your whole face, just like a Pixar cartoon. Now a third Instagram filter called Cartoon 3D Style followed it. Now this one is even better with its face tracking abilities. It just turns you magically into a Pixar character and let you see how you’d look or move if you were one.
