Establish permission
Confirm who owns or controls the source material and whether the depicted person has authorized the intended identity use.
Identity / Use case
Creative editing.
Clear boundaries.
Understand the difference between a permission-based face edit and a misleading or harmful use of synthetic identity media.
Responsible identity editing begins with permission and a clearly understood context. Face replacement can be part of an authorized creative project; it should not be presented as a way to manufacture authentic evidence of someone’s actions.

From input to intention
Give the idea a clear path.
Prepare the input, express the intention, and review what actually changed.
Consider the final context
Ask how the image or clip will be interpreted. An edit that is obvious in a workshop can become misleading when separated from its caption or original context.
Review before sharing
Inspect quality and meaning together. Keep source records and use clear disclosure where needed to prevent the result from being mistaken for an authentic recording.
Start with a useful brief
A direction you can adapt.
Use this as a starting brief, then adjust it to your own source and intention.
Example direction
Prepare an authorized identity-editing demonstration. Show the source and target roles, state that the result is edited, and avoid contexts that imply an unapproved statement, endorsement, or event.
Review checklist, not a generation prompt. Photo Face Swap uses the two source/target portraits and the controls in the recorded recipe. Both example portraits are synthetic Studio creations.
01
A plausible result is not an authentic record
An edited image can look realistic while depicting something that never happened. Visual plausibility should not be used as a substitute for truth or consent.
Do not use identity tools for fraud, harassment, harmful impersonation, or non-consensual intimate content. The existing site guidelines apply to the creative process and the way the result is shared.
02
Permission should match the intended use
Permission to view or repost a photograph is not automatically permission to place a person into a new scene. Consider the purpose, audience, and any meaningful change of context.
Keep authorization connected to the project. If the intended use changes, reassess whether the existing permission still fits rather than assuming it covers every future variation.
03
Transparency belongs in the workflow
A useful demonstration explains the source, target, and transformation. This lets viewers understand what they are seeing rather than inferring an authentic event from the final image alone.
Where identity media involves a sensitive context, use a cautious review process and the existing support route for questions. This page is product guidance, not a replacement for the site’s legal terms.
The useful details
A few good
questions.
Is a realistic face edit evidence of a real event?
No. A synthetic identity edit can depict an event or participation that never occurred.
Can I use a publicly available photo as permission?
No. Access to a photo and authorization for an identity transformation are different things.
Why keep this older URL?
It remains a discovery route for the existing site, while the content explains legitimate use and points to the familiar Face Swap tool.
Does this create a new legal policy?
No. It does not replace or rewrite the existing terms, privacy policy, or usage guidelines.
