Tips

Photos that make a convincing swap

The clearer the face, the truer the character.

Do

  • Use one front-facing, well-lit photo per person, face and shoulders visible.
  • Match people to photos by position or clothing: "on the left", "in the red jacket".
  • List the photos in the same order as you name the people.
  • Choose clips where the faces to replace are visible for most of the shot.

Avoid

  • Group photos as a reference for one person.
  • Sunglasses, masks or heavy filters in the reference photo.
  • Clips where the people cross and hide each other all the time.
  • Anyone who has not agreed, public figures and minors.

Consent comes first

Use character swap with permission

Putting a face on a moving body is the most sensitive edit there is.

  • Everyone agrees

    You need the consent of the people in the clip and of the people in the reference photos, and you confirm it before each edit.

  • No public figures or minors

    Swaps involving public figures, minors or nudity are refused, and the edit is refunded.

  • Marked as AI-edited

    The result carries an AI-edited marker. Label it as AI-edited when you post it.

Replacing people in video: FAQ

How do I replace a person in a video with AI?

Upload a 3 to 15 second clip, choose Replace, upload a clear photo of the new person and say who they replace. The new character follows the original movement, framing and timing, and the original sound stays.

Can I replace two people in one video?

Yes, and up to four. Upload one photo for each new person and name them in order, for example "the man on the left becomes the person in photo 1 and the woman on the right becomes the person in photo 2".

Will the lips still match the audio?

The edit keeps the clip's timing frame for frame and the new character follows the original performance, so speech stays in step with the untouched audio. Clear, front-facing shots give the best result.

Does the voice change when I replace a person?

No. Replace changes the picture only. The audio you uploaded is laid back unchanged. If you also want another voice, use the voice changer or dubbing on the result.

Can I put myself in a video?

Yes. Use a clear photo of yourself as the reference and a clip you have the right to edit. If other people stay in the clip, you still need their consent.

Is it allowed to swap someone's face in a video?

Only with the permission of everyone involved, and never for public figures or minors. You confirm consent before each edit, and results carry an AI-edited marker.
