How to Do the PS2 Filter on CapCut
The PS2 filter trend turns people into lonely low-poly characters from an early-2000s game cutscene. Here is the honest way to edit one in CapCut: make the picture or clip from your own selfie here, then import it into CapCut to crop, add music and export.
Good to know: this is not a CapCut template or effect. You make the file in your browser, download it and edit it in CapCut yourself.

Step by step: the PS2 filter on CapCut
- Sign in and upload one clear selfie you have permission to use: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10MB.
- Pick a scene: Foggy park, Gas station sunset, 3 a.m. bedroom, House party wall, Rainy bus stop.
- Choose Image for a still (2 credits) or Video for a 6-second clip with sound (10 credits, including the still).
- Download the PNG or MP4 when it is ready.
- Open CapCut, start a new project and import the file.
- The result is landscape 16:9. Set the canvas ratio to 9:16, then scale the clip to fill it or keep it whole on a blurred or black background.
- Add music from the CapCut library or a track you have the rights to. Our clips come with AI-generated sound, not a song.
- Export, then post it and turn on the AI-generated label where the platform asks.
After you sign in, your first still is free with a losercoreai.com watermark: one per account and device, and a daily cap may apply. Otherwise a still costs 2 credits and a video costs 10 credits. Video is never part of the free trial. A paid job that fails refunds its credits.
Not a CapCut template
CapCut templates and effects work on top of your own footage and are a quick choice when you only want a lighter retro overlay. This generator does something different: an AI image model redraws you as a low-poly PS2-era character inside a new lonely scene. It is a flat picture or clip, not a 3D model, and the likeness can differ from your photo.
