DeepSwap is a web-based AI tool designed to replace faces in videos, photos, or GIFs with user-specified facial images. Operating on cloud servers, the platform utilizes deep learning models to identify facial features—such as feature placement, expressions, and lighting—and map these characteristics from the source face onto the target material.Since computations are performed on cloud GPUs, users need not install any software locally or configure expensive graphics hardware. It supports high-definition video output (up to 4K resolution) and simultaneous replacement of multiple faces, making it ideal for content creators, designers, or general users engaged in creative editing.
Function List
- Video Face SwapSupports uploading long videos or short clips, automatically identifies faces appearing in the video and replaces them while maintaining facial expressions and lip-sync consistency.
- Picture Face SwapFace replacement for static photos, supporting selection and replacement of specific faces within group photos.
- GIF Animation CreationYou can upload emoji packs or GIFs and replace the characters in the images with your own face for social media interactions.
- Multi-Face Recognition and ReplacementWithin the same video or image, the system can recognize multiple distinct faces, allowing users to individually designate replacement targets (e.g., swapping the faces of two people in a video).
- Cloud-based high-speed processingRendering utilizes high-performance graphics cards on the server side, typically processing faster than running open-source software locally. Users do not need to consume local computer resources.
- Privacy protection mechanismAccording to the platform guidelines, uploaded materials and generated works will be automatically deleted from the server after a specified period (typically 7 days), with no user data retained.
- Multi-format supportSupports common media formats such as JPG, PNG, MP4, MOV, WEBP, and more.
Using Help
DeepSwap's user interface is designed for intuitive operation, primarily divided into three stages: “Upload Materials,” “Select Face,” and “Generate and Download.” Below is the detailed workflow:
1. Preparatory work
- Access to the website: Open in browser
deepswapai.comOr click its main entry point to access the application interface. - register an accountRegister and log in to your account using your email address. Since this service primarily operates on a cloud-based cost model, purchasing credits or subscribing to a membership is typically required to download high-definition, watermark-free results.
2. Upload Target Material
This is the base file you want to modify (e.g., a movie clip or a model's photo).
- Tap on the main interface “Upload File”(Upload File) button.
- Select the photo you want to swap faces from your computer or phone gallery. video,Photo maybe GIFThe
- Wait for the file upload progress bar to complete. The system will automatically analyze the facial information in the file.
3. Select Source Face
This is the face you want to “paste on” (such as your own face or a celebrity's face).
- In the action bar on the right side or bottom of the interface, click “Add Face”(Add face).
- Upload a clear, front-facing photo.
- finesseFor optimal results, please ensure that the uploaded source facial photo has even lighting, clear facial features, no bangs obscuring the eyes, and is taken from a straight-on angle.
- After uploading, click to select this face from the face library.
4. Specify Replacement Rules (for Multi-Person Scenarios)
- If your target material (video/photo) contains only one person, the system will automatically match it.
- If the material contains multiple charactersThe system will display all detected avatars on the interface.
- Click on a character's portrait within the target material.
- Then click the “source face” you just uploaded to pair it.
- You can assign different replacement faces to different characters in the video.
5. Generation and Download
- After confirming the settings are correct, click “Create”(Generate) or “Swap Faces” Button.
- The system will display how many points this operation will consume (videos are typically charged by duration, while photos are charged per image).
- Waiting for cloud processing. Images typically take only a few seconds, while videos may require tens of seconds to several minutes depending on their length.
- After processing is complete, the preview window will display the results.
- strike (on the keyboard) “Download”The (Download) button saves the high-definition file without a watermark to your local device.
Troubleshooting
- Face Recognition FailureIf the subject's profile angle is too extreme or the lighting is too dim in the video, the AI may fail to detect the face. We recommend using footage with brighter lighting.
- Slow generation speedTypically depends on server queue conditions and the size of your video file.
application scenario
- Film and Television Entertainment Production
Content creators can replace their own or actors' faces in classic movie scenes to produce derivative videos or tribute shorts for release on short-form video platforms. - Social media memes
Users can turn their friends' faces into popular GIF stickers for fun interactions in WeChat or Discord chats. - Privacy
When publishing news interviews or street footage, if you need to protect the privacy of passersby appearing in the video, you can use this tool to replace their faces with non-existent virtual faces. - Hairstyle and Fitting Preview
Users can replace the model's face with their own to preview how specific hairstyles, hair colors, or clothing would look on them. - Commercial Advertising Localization
Cross-border e-commerce sellers can use this tool to quickly replace the facial features of advertising models with those of local ethnic groups in target markets, thereby enhancing the relatability of advertisements.
QA
- Is this tool free?
DeepSwap is not a completely free tool. It typically offers limited trial features, but downloading high-definition videos without watermarks or processing long videos requires purchasing credits or subscribing to a membership. This is because video rendering consumes expensive cloud GPU computing power. - Are my photos safe?
This website adheres to its privacy policy and typically deletes user-uploaded photos and generated videos from its servers within one week after completion. It does not permanently store users' biometric data. - How long videos are supported?
The specific duration depends on the user's membership level and the number of points held. Premium accounts typically support longer video processing, but excessively long videos are recommended to be edited into segments for batch processing. - Why does the face swap effect sometimes look unnatural?
The outcome depends on the angle matching between the “source photo” and the “target video.” If the source photo shows a straight-on face, but the person in the video is constantly turning their head sharply or making exaggerated expressions, the AI mapping may result in distortion. Using photos with similar angles will yield more realistic results.
