Check permission and purpose
Use a source identity and target media you are allowed to edit. Do not use identity replacement for deceptive impersonation, harassment, or non-consensual intimate material.
Identity / Face Swap
A familiar tool.
A fresh perspective.
Explore face replacement for permitted images and videos, with clear source and target roles.
Start with a source identity you have permission to use and a target image or clip. Pay attention to angle, expression, and lighting, then inspect the result for consistency rather than judging it from one flattering frame.
Your inputs, directions, and versions stay together in Studio.

Choose your starting point
An image. Or a moving scene.
Face-only replacement and whole-character replacement should stay clearly distinguished.
01
Photo Face Swap
Work with a still target and inspect the face, hairline, and lighting at full size.
02Video Face Swap
Review identity consistency through head turns, expression changes, and occlusions.
03Character Swap
Explore the separate workflow for replacing a broader character, not just a face.
A considered workflow
Permission first. Comparison always.
A clean input helps, but a responsible workflow begins before the upload.
Choose suitable inputs
Pick a source that clearly shows the face. Inspect the target for its pose, light, resolution, and any objects crossing the face so you know what will need close review.
Review the full result
For images, inspect boundaries and expression. For video, play the complete clip and look for flicker, identity drift, and failure around turns or occluded frames.
Make the brief do the work
Write a review brief.
The face-swap workflow may not use a text prompt. This example is a checklist for the creative intention, not a promised input field.
Example direction
Use the consented source face in the supplied target. Review the eyes, mouth, skin lighting, hairline, and face boundary. For video, inspect head turns and moments when the face is partially covered. Label the final piece as edited where disclosure is appropriate.
This is an example creative brief, not a record of the sample media’s generation settings.
01
Source and target are not interchangeable
The source establishes the identity to use. The target establishes the scene in which that identity will appear. Choosing the right roles avoids a common source of confusion before processing begins.
For a useful product demonstration, show the source, target, and result together. A result alone cannot explain what the tool changed or what the original context was.
02
Face Swap is not Character Swap
Face replacement focuses on identity in the facial region. A character replacement can involve body shape, clothing, or a broader visual subject. They create different expectations and should not share misleading labels.
Face Swap and Character Swap are both under Identity, with distinct image and video workflows in Studio.
03
A single good frame is not enough
Video introduces changes over time. A result may look convincing when the subject is facing the camera but fail when the head turns or a hand crosses the face.
Review the entire sequence, including transitions and any cuts. Keep the original available and do not publish material that misrepresents another person’s actions or identity.
The useful details
A few good
questions.
Do I need permission for the source face?
Use source identities and target media you have the appropriate rights or permission to edit. Follow the site’s existing guidelines and the context in which the result will be shared.
Does Face Swap replace clothing or the body?
Do not assume that. This route is for face replacement. Whole-character replacement is a separate workflow.
Why inspect a video beyond its thumbnail?
A thumbnail cannot show temporal consistency, changing expressions, or occlusion failures. Review the complete clip before treating the result as finished.
Will this redesign change the existing processing backend?
No. This update changes public pages and navigation, not Studio or the Face Swap backend.
