What character swap AI keeps and changes
Only the person is replaced; everything around them stays as it was in your video.
- Motion, camera movement and background stay as shot.
- Lighting stays as in your video.
- Face, body, outfit and style come from your image.
- A photo, an anime character or a 3D render all work.
- Body swap here replaces the whole person, head to feet.
- A face swap video changes only the face; this does more.
Videos and characters that swap well
Pick footage where the person is easy to follow.
- Works: one main person, visible for most of the clip.
- Works: a steady camera or a slow camera move.
- Works: a full-body character image for a full-body shot.
- Works: similar proportions, such as a person replaced by a humanoid.
- Works: clear light in both the video and the character image.
- Weaker: characters with very different proportions from the person.
