How we measure this

Every three days we search TikTok for “Toy Car to Real Car” and “Train window toy car” and take the most-liked public videos posted between and Oct 27, 2026, up to 30 per search with duplicates removed, then add up their views. It is a sample of how active the trend is, not a count of every video that uses it. Our trend lists rank trends by these recent views and give newer trends more weight than older ones.

We follow each trend for about three weeks after it is added, or until new videos stop picking up views. Source: TikTok public search results, last checked .

BEFORE YOU START

Which photo works best

  • The whole car

    Use a photo that shows the whole car, ideally from the side or rear three-quarter.

  • Daylight, no people

    Clear light and nothing in front of the car keeps its shape, colour and wheels.

  • Any vehicle

    Old hatchbacks and scooters make funny versions too.

Good to know

  • The train, tunnel and road come from the trend clip; you cannot choose another setting.
  • Number plates, badges and small details may not match your car exactly.
  • Silent by default. Pick Original sound to add the audio of the trend clip, cut to the same moments.
  • Every run is different. Failed generations are refunded automatically.
