Best SwapFace Tips
These SwapFace tips help you get better face swap results faster. Use clear reference faces, matched angles, good lighting, and specific instructions for the blend.
Prompt examples
Natural portrait face swap
Use the uploaded photo as the target. Replace only the face with the reference identity, preserve the pose, hair, outfit, and background, then match the camera angle, expression, lighting, and skin tone.
Best for profile photos, portraits, and personal branding.
Creator thumbnail face swap
Blend the reference face into this creator thumbnail. Keep the original microphone, studio, clothing, crop, and color grade, and make the new face sharp and readable at thumbnail size.
Best for creator thumbnails, podcast covers, and channel tests.
Travel selfie face swap
Swap the reference face into this travel selfie while preserving the arm position, camera perspective, street, sunlight, hair, and clothing. Keep the result candid and photorealistic.
Best for travel edits, social posts, and lifestyle concepts.
Group photo face replacement
Replace only the selected person's face with the reference face. Keep every other person unchanged and preserve the group pose, spacing, expressions, flash direction, and background.
Best for group photos, event pictures, and blink fixes.
Cinematic character face swap
Place the reference face on the cinematic character while preserving the exact hairstyle, costume, body, camera angle, environment, and dramatic lighting. Keep realistic skin texture and clean edges.
Best for character concepts, film frames, and video drafts.
Face blend cleanup
Refine this face swap without changing the identity. Clean the face edges, match skin tone and grain, correct the shadow direction, and preserve the eyes, expression, hairline, and original composition.
Best for final blending, skin-tone matching, and export cleanup.
