# Lego Filter > A Lego filter turns a photo into a plastic brick-toy minifigure. In Kenerate AI Filter, the Brick Minifig look gives you a cylindrical yellow head with a printed face, claw hands, printed clothes, glossy studs and a baseplate, while keeping your pose, hairstyle, outfit and props. One image costs 10 credits on the default engine. It's a brick-toy style; Kenerate is not affiliated with the LEGO Group. URL: https://kenerateai.com/lego-filter Publisher: Kenerate AI (https://kenerateai.com) Last updated: 20 October 2026 ## Key facts - Look: Brick Minifig (Trending group, look id “lego”) - Style: Cylindrical head, claw hands, printed face and clothes, studs, baseplate - Keeps: Pose, hairstyle, clothing colours and props - Cost: 10 credits per image (Qwen Image 3 or Kenerate Filter) · 14 or 21 on the others - Input: One photo · JPG, PNG or WebP · up to 20 MB - Affiliation: None — a brick-toy style, not the LEGO Group ## Steps 1. Add one photo — Upload, snap with the camera, paste, or pick from History or your Library — JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. A clear, full or waist-up shot works best, because a minifigure is all about the outfit. 2. Pick Brick Minifig — It's in the Trending row, right after Action Figure. Other toy looks are in the 3D & Toy group. 3. Add a Twist if you want — One extra instruction of up to 300 characters, such as “holding a coffee cup” or “space helmet under my arm”. It's optional. 4. Apply and compare — Drag the Compare slider, then Download, save to Cloud, Edit, Upscale, or use the result as the next photo to stack another look. ## In depth ### What makes a figure read as a brick minifigure? A handful of shapes do almost all the work: a cylindrical head with a stud on top, a flat printed face, a trapezoid torso, claw hands, block legs and a glossy plastic finish. The Brick Minifig look asks for exactly those, then prints your clothes onto the torso and turns your hair into a moulded hairpiece. In the demo above, the climber keeps his curly hair, beard, red top, rope, chalk bag and helmet, and ends up standing on a baseplate. ### Getting a minifig that looks like you A minifigure face is two dots and a smile, so likeness comes from everything around it: - Show the outfit — waist-up or full-body shots beat tight face crops - Keep distinctive extras visible: glasses, beard, hat, hairstyle, a bag or tool you always carry - Plain or simple backgrounds give a clean toy-on-a-baseplate shot; busy scenes get rebuilt in bricks - Start on Qwen Image 3; try Kenerate Filter if the hair or face print drifts ### Minifig avatars, cards and gifts Common uses are a profile avatar, a team page where everyone is a minifig, a birthday or retirement card, or a print for someone's desk. For a team, run each person's photo with the same look and engine so the set matches. Upscale before printing anything bigger than a postcard. ### From photo to a Lego-style video AI Filter makes a still image. To animate it, download the minifig and use it as the start frame in Kenerate image to video, then describe the motion — a wave, a walk across the baseplate, a slow camera push. Starting from the still keeps the figure's look consistent through the clip. ### Not affiliated with the LEGO Group LEGO is a trademark of the LEGO Group. Kenerate is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the LEGO Group, and the Brick Minifig look is a generic brick-toy style, not an official minifigure, set or logo. Restyle your own photos, don't present the result as official LEGO art or packaging, and check the rules of anywhere you sell it. ## FAQ Q: How do I turn my photo into a Lego minifigure? A: Upload the photo to Kenerate AI Filter, pick the Brick Minifig look and press Apply. It rebuilds you as a plastic brick-toy minifigure — cylindrical head, printed face, claw hands, printed clothes, studs and a baseplate — while keeping your pose, hair and outfit. The default engine, Qwen Image 3, returns one image in about 10–20 seconds for 10 credits. Q: Is there an official Lego AI generator? A: Not here. Kenerate's Brick Minifig look is a generic brick-toy style. Kenerate is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the LEGO Group, and the look doesn't recreate official sets, minifigures or logos. It's one of 56 looks in Kenerate AI Filter, which restyles a photo you upload. Q: How much does the Lego filter cost? A: One image costs 10 credits on Qwen Image 3 or Kenerate Filter, 14 on Seedream 5 Pro and 21 on GPT Image 2. Each run returns one image, and a failed run is refunded automatically. New accounts get starter credits, and no subscription is required. Q: Will the minifigure still look like me? A: As much as a minifig can. The face becomes a simple printed one, so likeness comes from your hairstyle, beard or glasses, clothing colours and props, which the look keeps. Use a waist-up or full-body photo so the outfit is visible, and switch to Kenerate Filter, the identity-locked engine, if the face print drifts too far. Q: Can I make a Lego version of a group or family photo? A: Yes, if everyone in it agrees. Every look tells the engine to keep each person and their pose and not to add or remove anyone. People who are small in a wide shot carry less detail, so crop in. For several minifigs with props or a box-art layout, GPT Image 2 handles it best. Q: Can I make a Lego avatar for my profile? A: Yes. Use a clear waist-up photo, apply Brick Minifig, and add a Twist such as “plain light background” for a clean avatar. Download the result and crop it square. Running everyone on a team through the same look and engine gives a matching set. Q: Can I turn the Lego picture into a video? A: Not inside AI Filter, which returns one still image. Download the minifig and use it as the start frame in Kenerate image to video, then describe the motion, such as a wave or a walk across the baseplate. Video uses a different tool and is priced per second. Q: What other toy filters are there? A: Five close relatives in the same tool: Action Figure for a boxed collectible, Vinyl Figure for a square-headed collectible, Voxel for a block-built look, Plush Toy and Claymation. Balloon Art, Crochet, Porcelain and Low Poly are in the 3D & Toy group too. You can mix any look with Brick Minifig at 70/30, Even or 30/70. ## Related pages - Claymation filter: https://kenerateai.com/claymation-filter - AI Filter: https://kenerateai.com/ai-filter - Action figure AI: https://kenerateai.com/action-figure-ai - Pixar filter: https://kenerateai.com/pixar-filter - 3D printed action figures: https://kenerateai.com/3d-printed-action-figures - Image to video AI: https://kenerateai.com/image-to-video-ai ## Sources - Kenerate AI Filter (the tool): https://kenerateai.com/app/tool/ai-filter - LEGO Group — fair play and trademark guidelines: https://www.lego.com/en-us/legal/notices-and-policies/fair-play
