La Catrina AI Filter
One selfie in, La Catrina out: sugar skull makeup, a marigold crown and candlelight.
The La Catrina AI filter turns one selfie into Día de Muertos Catrina makeup, with a painted sugar skull face, a crown of orange marigolds and roses, and an ofrenda glowing behind you, while your face stays recognizable under the paint. It is the look of the la catrina capcut template that spread on TikTok in the run-up to Día de Muertos (November 1–2), close to 900,000 views in seven days, many of them Spanish "conviértete en Catrina" posts. Here you skip CapCut: upload one photo, pick a Catrina look, and get a 9:16 photo in about a minute. Want the clip instead? The Video tab turns your selfie into La Catrina in a 6-second transformation video.

What is the la catrina capcut template?
It is a one-photo AI template for Día de Muertos: you add a selfie and get back yourself as La Catrina, the elegant skeleton lady of the Day of the Dead, with sugar skull face paint, marigolds and an altar or candles behind you. La Catrina goes back to a print by José Guadalupe Posada from around 1910 and is now the face of the holiday on November 1 and 2. Creators shared the template with captions like "conviértete en la diosa Catrina", and searches for dia de muertos capcut template jumped in the last week of October.
The Catrina AI filter on this page does the same job without the template. You choose the Catrina, not the app: six looks are ready to tap, from the classic sugar skull to a dapper Catrín in a top hat, and you can describe any other look in the box. That is the La Catrina AI filter in one sentence.

FAQ
What is the La Catrina AI filter?
The La Catrina AI filter turns one selfie into Día de Muertos Catrina makeup: a painted sugar skull face, a crown of marigolds and roses, and an altar or candlelit scene, while your face stays recognizable under the paint. It is the look of the la catrina capcut template from TikTok, made from your own photo here.
How do I do the la catrina capcut template without CapCut?
Upload one selfie on this page, tap a Catrina look (or describe your own), and press Create. You get a finished 9:16 photo to post on TikTok or Instagram, with no template editing and no app download.
Is this the official CapCut template?
No. ReelMuse is not affiliated with CapCut or ByteDance. This page is our own AI filter that makes the same kind of Catrina look from your selfie.
Will the Catrina makeup still look like me?
Yes. Every look keeps your face shape, eyes and features; the skull paint, flowers, outfit and scene are added on top. If you want more of your own face showing, pick the half-face Catrina.
Is it a video or a photo?
Both. The Photo tab makes one 9:16 Catrina photo. The Video tab makes that photo first, then a 6-second clip that starts on your selfie and ends on La Catrina, like the CapCut template. Post either to TikTok or Reels.
