I Built a Free-to-Try AI Face Swap Tool for Photos, Videos, and GIFs

#ai #webdev #productivity #tutorial

I’ve been working on AI SwapFace, a browser-based tool that lets people swap faces in photos, videos, GIFs, and group images.

🔗 Try it here: https://aiswapface.org/

Why I built it

Many face-swapping tools require software installation, place watermarks on the result, or hide basic functionality behind a subscription.

I wanted to create a simpler experience:

  1. Upload a clear source face
  2. Upload the target photo, GIF, or video
  3. Let the AI process it
  4. Download the result

The goal was to make face swapping accessible directly from the browser without a complicated editing workflow.

What it supports

AI SwapFace currently includes:

  • Photo face swap for portraits, memes, and creative edits
  • Video face swap with frame-by-frame face tracking
  • GIF face swap for animated reactions and social content
  • Multiple face swap for group and team photos
  • AI portrait face swap for images generated with tools such as GPT Image, Midjourney, Flux, and DALL·E

The tool also includes optional face-quality enhancement and expression-preservation controls.

Free access and pricing

Basic face swapping is free to try, with daily free credits available without a subscription.

For additional usage, the product uses one-time credit packs instead of recurring subscriptions. Credits can be used across photos, GIFs, multi-face images, and videos.

Privacy

Uploaded media is processed only to generate the requested result. According to the product’s current processing policy:

  • Uploaded images are not used to train AI models
  • Source media is deleted after processing
  • Users retain ownership of their content

Responsible use

Face-swapping technology has legitimate creative and entertainment uses, but it can also be misused.

Users must have permission to use the faces and media they upload. AI SwapFace prohibits non-consensual intimate imagery, fraud, harassment, deceptive impersonation, and illegal deepfake content.

What I’m working on next

Some areas I’m exploring:

  • Improving face consistency across video frames
  • Supporting longer videos
  • Better handling of side-profile faces
  • Faster processing
  • Clearer free-tier and credit information
  • More localization and accessibility improvements

I’d appreciate feedback from the DEV community, especially around:

  • The upload and processing experience
  • Output quality
  • Privacy and responsible-use communication
  • Features you would expect from an online face-swap tool

Thanks for checking it out!
