FaceSwape
1. Choose the photo
Use a photo where the face is sharp, facing the camera and evenly lit, with no sunglasses or hair across the eyes. A phone photo taken by a window works well.
How to face swap a video
To face swap a video, you need one sharp photo of the face and a clip of up to 30 seconds. Here is the whole process, and the mistakes that most often make a result look fake.
Example
Before, photo, after
Left: the original clip. Middle: the photo that was uploaded. Right: the result. The body, background and sound are untouched; only the face changed.

Getting a more convincing result
Your two files decide most of the quality. Check these before you render.
Use a sharp face photo
Face the camera, no sunglasses, no hair over the eyes, even light. A phone photo by a window is enough.
Match the angle
A front-facing photo works best on a clip where the person mostly looks at the camera.
Pick a clear clip
Bright, steady footage where the face is reasonably large in the frame gives the cleanest result.
Try a second photo
If it looks off, use a photo whose lighting and expression are closer to the clip.
What people make with it
Use your own face, your own AI avatar, or someone who has said yes.
Short-form posts
Clips for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Memes and parodies
Put yourself into a well-known scene.
Birthday surprises
A greeting where a friend stars in the clip, with their consent.

Questions
- Do I need editing skills?
- No. You upload two files and choose an engine; there are no masks or keyframes to set.
- Why does my result look fake?
- Usually a blurry photo, a very different angle, or a face that is tiny in the frame. Try a sharper photo taken from the same angle.
- How long can the video be?
- Up to 30 seconds per render on Standard. Pro takes clips of 4 to 15 seconds.
