In this post I’m going to show you how to swap faces in less than 3 minutes, so it looks as good as this:

Here are the exact steps to do it:

1. Upload a Video or Picture to FaceSwap

Go to FaceSwap and click on the area that allows you to drag and drop your source video or image.

Note: Videos have to be in the MP4 format, and up to 30 seconds in duration.

2. Choose a Face Style

Once your file is uploaded, you'll be taken to a new screen where you can select the face you want to use in the swap. 

You might see options from a database or you can upload a new face. Choose the face that you want to swap into your video or image.

3. Render Your Video or Picture

After selecting the face, hit the 'Render' button. The rendering process will start, and this might take a little time depending on the length and quality of the video or the size of the image.

Note: Before you start the rendering process, make sure to add a title to your video or image if you haven’t yet.

4. Download Your Face Swap

Once the rendering process is complete, you should see a preview of your face-swapped video or image. To access the download option, click on the three dots (often referred to as the "More" or "Options" menu) that appear, typically, on the corner of your creation's thumbnail.

That’s it!

The best way to create face swaps it to rely on user-friendly apps like FaceSwap. This web app makes it easy for users to create natural-looking face swaps without any  advanced editing skills or costly software like Adobe Photoshop.

FaceSwap offers endless possibilities for you to share your swap images on all your social media platforms.
