Face Swap

Face swaps are meme fuel, reaction-thumbnail fuel and the fastest way to put yourself into a scene you could not shoot. Face Swap takes two photos: the scene, which is the image whose face gets replaced, and the face, which is the person who goes into it. It replaces the face in the scene with the face from the second photo and blends it naturally with the scene's lighting, leaving everything else — background, body, clothes, props — exactly as it was.

Order matters and the labels in the Studio spell it out: photo one is the scene, photo two is the face. A clear, front-facing face photo in similar lighting to the scene produces the cleanest blend; a face in shadow going into a bright scene will look pasted. The output keeps the scene's aspect ratio so it drops into the layout you were already planning. There are no other controls, because the tool does one thing.

The obvious use is thumbnails: put your face on the character, the athlete, the historical painting, then send it to YouTube Thumbnail Maker as the face photo. Face swaps of real people other than yourself need their permission, and the Terms of Service require that you only use images you have the right to use. For a fully generated version of you in a scene, Creator Brand Photos is the tool that keeps identity while changing the whole setting. Two photos at Standard cost 4 credits.
