Why Choose This?
-
Seamless face-to-body compositing Advanced AI tracks the subject across every frame and blends your face naturally onto the body in motion, maintaining consistent identity and lighting.
-
Simple two-input workflow Just a face image and a body video — no masking, no manual keyframing, no technical setup required.
-
Wide range of use cases Works across talking head videos, dancing clips, fitness content, and more.
-
Production-ready API No cold starts, predictable per-second pricing, and a ready-to-use REST endpoint for seamless integration.

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Face image to composite onto the body video. |

How to Use
- Upload your face image — a clear, front-facing portrait with good lighting works best.

- Submit — AI processes the swap frame by frame and returns the finished video.

Best Use Cases

- Marketing & advertising — Swap faces for personalized promotional video content.
- Entertainment & social media — Generate fun, shareable body-swap clips for Reels and TikTok.
- Developer integrations — Embed body swap functionality into apps and pipelines via the REST API.
Pro Tips
- Use a high-quality, well-lit face photo with a clear, unobstructed view for the most natural compositing result.
- Videos with a single clearly visible subject and stable lighting produce the cleanest swaps.
- Avoid heavily cropped or low-resolution face images — the more facial detail the AI has, the better the blend.
- For best results, the face in the image should be roughly front-facing and similar in angle to the subject in the video.
Notes
- Both image and video are required fields.
- Ensure URLs are publicly accessible if using links rather than direct uploads.
- Videos longer than 120 seconds are accepted but billing is capped at 120 seconds.
