The 3-Step Guide: Your First Face Swap in 30 Seconds

Our tool is built around an intuitive, three-step process. Let's do it.

Step 1: Upload Your "Base Image"

The Base Image is the main photo, the one you want to swap a face into. This could be a picture of an astronaut, a superhero, a group of friends, or a professional headshot.

On the photo face swap tool page, click or drag-and-drop your image into the first upload box.
Pro Tip: For the best results, choose a Base Image where the subject's face is clear, well-lit, and facing forward.

Step 2: Upload Your "Source Face"

The Source Face is the picture of the face you want to add to the Base Image. This is "your" face.

In the second upload box, add the photo containing the face you want to use.
Pro Tip: The ideal Source Face is a clear, high-resolution portrait. Ensure the face is free from obstructions like sunglasses, heavy shadows, or hair.

Step 3: Generate and Download!

This is where the magic happens.

Once your two images are uploaded, simply click the "Generate" button.
Our AI will analyze both images, identify the facial features, and seamlessly blend the Source Face onto the Base Image, matching lighting and skin tones.
In seconds, your new image will render. Click the "Download" button to save your masterpiece.

Pro Tips for Studio-Quality Results

Are you ready to learn how to achieve what we call super efficient switching? These techniques quickly enhance your creative ability.

The first step is to match the illumination angle. When the illumination direction and head angle of the reference image are similar to those of the base image, the swapping effect is most realistic. If the light in the base image comes from the left side, please also try using a reference image with a similar lighting method.
High resolution often brings good results, as we often say in the field of AI, garbage comes out. The higher the quality of the image you use, whether it is a reference image or a base image, the higher the final rendering details and credibility will be.
It's best to only replace our tool for one face at a time. We have optimized it for one face. If your technical image is a group photo, our artificial intelligence often detects the most prominent one, but it may also affect the final presentation effect. For face swapping, the effect is definitely better than group swapping. Of course, if you want to learn about the ability of group swapping faces, you can participate in our upcoming tutorial
