# AI X-Ray Filter: give any video the scan look

Upload an ordinary clip and watch the AI X-Ray Filter rebuild it as a glowing skeletal scan. Your subject keeps moving naturally while the look shifts to something straight out of a sci-fi lab. No masking, no plugins, just the x ray effect you've seen all over TikTok, on your own footage.

## An x-ray effect that looks scanned, not filtered

Most x-ray filters tint the frame blue and call it done, and skeleton filter photo editing apps stop at a static overlay. This one rebuilds your subject as a stylized skeletal scan that moves with them, frame by frame. The output looks like it came from a machine, not a filter menu.

## Skip the Photoshop tutorial

Building this look by hand means masking, inverting, and blending layer by layer, and every Photoshop xray effect tutorial ends the same way: hours in, one frame done, nothing that moves. Here it's one upload. No plugins, no timeline, no editing experience, and the scan follows your subject through the whole clip.

## What can you create with the AI X-Ray Filter?

### Own spooky season

Skeleton dances, Halloween intros, and creepy transitions that don't need a costume. The **skeleton filter** look lands harder when it moves with you.

### Cut a scroll-stopping edit

Flash to x-ray on the beat drop. Music videos, gym edits, and dance content get an **xray video** moment that hits with the sound.

### Tease what's inside

Give product reveals and tech content an under-the-surface scan moment that makes viewers look twice.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Artlist's AI X-Ray Filter, and what can I use it for?

The AI **X-Ray Filter** is an AI app in [Artlist's AI apps library](/content/ai/apps/index.html) that turns any video clip into a stylized skeletal scan. It's an **x ray filter app** that runs in your browser; creators use it for Halloween edits, skeleton dances, beat-synced transitions, and sci-fi content.

### How do I add an x-ray effect to a video?

Upload your clip to the **X-Ray Filter**, generate, and download the finished **X-ray video**. The AI rebuilds your subject as a glowing scan that follows their movement through every frame. No Photoshop, no masking, no editing skills needed.

### Does the X-Ray Filter show real bones?

No. The effect is a stylized, AI-generated skeletal look, not a real scan. It doesn't reveal anything under clothing, skin, or surfaces; it redraws your subject in a sci-fi x-ray style. Think costume, not radiology.

### Can I xray a photo with the X-Ray Filter?

The AI **X-Ray Filter** is built for video: upload footage and get a moving skeletal scan back. That takes it further than an **x-ray photo filter**, **x-ray photo editor**, or **x-ray photo app**, which stop at a single static image.

### Is the AI X-Ray Filter free to use?

You can try the **X-Ray filter** with the complimentary [AI image generations](/content/ai/image-generator/index.html) included in Artlist's free trial. A paid plan unlocks full access to the effect and the rest of the AI apps library.

### Can I use the videos I create for commercial projects?

Commercial use requires an active paid plan. The Social plan covers personal and social content, while Pro plans cover paid, client, and commercial projects under the [Artlist license](/content/help-center/privacy-terms/artlist-license/index.html).
