It's a kind of face matcher that finds your twin Or that's what it says in the Gradient app. This is the face of the actor, singer or celebrity that most resembles yours. A task that is carried out through the application by Artificial Intelligence. Although the results are so poor that you will end up sharing them because they are derisory, not because they are realistic. Or at least that has been my case, with a fairly common face. All this shown in a succession of images that transform your face into that of the famous person in question, which you can share on your social networks.

Step by Step

All you need is to download Gradient from the Google Play Store or the App Store, depending on whether you have a mobile Android or an iPhoneFrom here you will have to give permissions for the application to collect photos from your gallery. And this tool does not allow you to take new photos.

That is why you will have to take a selfie of yourself, through the camera application of your mobile. Try to see yourself well, with good lighting and full face. If you want a better result, remove your glasses, if you are wearing them. And it is that the application can delete them and match you with a photo that does not have this complement, making the effect lose power.

Then return to Gradient.Skip the advertising message about its Premium or paid version. With this you will be on the main screen. You just have to look for the You Look Like function, well represented by an icon that shows this step from your face to that of a famous person. Click on the function to open the gallery of your mobile and choose your selfie. Or, if you prefer, any other photo where a face appears That is, you can do it with your friends and family.

Automatically, and after a couple of seconds, Gradient shows you who's supposed to be your more famous twin And that's when the laughs arrive. The format of this effect is to show your original photo at the beginning of a series of four photos. From left to right, your features blend with those of the famous person, who appears on the right.

There are two formats to display this peculiar effect. One in row mode, with the four photographs following one another in the same line. And a second grid mode, somewhat reminiscent of FaceApp.

Remember to click on the Next button, in the lower right corner, to switch to the next celebrity most similar to your face. So you can try your luck and see if there really is a famous twin of yours out there, or if it's just showing random photos.

How to share your LookLike

Once you see the result, Gradient does not offer the ability to share the image from here. To do this we will have to press on the button in the upper right corner, shaped like an arrow.

With this we will have it saved in the gallery of the terminal. Being a recent photo, we just have to go to Instagram Stories or WhatsApp and open the gallery It will appear among the last results, so we can select it to share and give it to meet the world.

Remember that you can use hashtags or labels to share your image (and that of your famous twin) and join the trend.
