Technologies Behind TikTok Effects

AR and 3D interactions power TikTok Effects. With Effect House, creators can quickly build sophisticated, interactive experiences. As the tech evolves, brands gain fresh opportunities to differentiate.

How We Create TikTok Effects

The End-to-End Workflow

  • Concept & storyboard (brand goals, hook, interaction)

  • Asset design in 2D/3D (Photoshop, Blender)

  • Build in Effect House (logic, tracking, interactions)

  • QA & optimization (performance, policy compliance)

  • Publish & iterate (analytics-driven refinements)

Effect House includes built-in tutorials and templates, so the pipeline works for both newcomers and seasoned creators.

Unlike traditional campaigns, TikTok effects can evolve over time, continuously building brand awareness.
