Through consistent innovation at both technical and product levels, Meitu achieved remarkable progress.

Over the course of the last six months, Meitu has hit numerous milestones in the field of AIGC.

Incorporating innovative image technology to propagate culture

Digital preservation and dissemination has become an important way to protect traditional Chinese culture. Meitu remains steadfast in its commitment to social responsibility by promoting and protecting Chinese cultural heritage. The company delves deep into the origins of cultural aesthetics, using technology and creative marketing to bring about a tangible transformation of intangible culture.

Meitu launched a range of digital products promoting traditional Chinese culture for diverse user groups in the years 2022 and 2023. Online platforms, represented by the Meitu App and BeautyCam, also facilitated the promotion of traditional Chinese culture.

For example, the Meitu App adopts traditional pattern designs and uses them in frames and filters; the Four Season sticker series takes inspiration from the grand scenery of China, whereas the Traditional Makeup Looks and 24 Solar Terms effects from BeautyCam seamlessly blend eastern aesthetics and makeup styles, allowing users to enjoy the splendor of traditional Chinese culture firsthand.
