What it can do
How to work with AI Character Swap
Create believable character swaps in minutes
Cleep AI’s AI Character Swap lets you replace a person or character in a photo or short clip while keeping the original scene, lighting, and composition intact. When you only need a face-focused change, AI Head Swap is ideal because it preserves the original body and pose. For more dramatic transformations, a body swap can replace the full silhouette and outfit, which may require a closer match in camera angle for the most natural result.
How To Use
Upload a target photo or MP4, then add a reference image that shows the face or character you want to apply. Choose whether you want a head-focused edit (AI Head Swap) or a wider body swap depending on how much of the subject needs to change. Generate a preview, then refine by selecting a clearer reference or a target with similar head angle to improve likeness and blending.
Photo, GIF, and video behavior you can plan around
For video targets, Cleep AI keeps timing and camera motion while applying the swap frame-by-frame, so you can review for flicker around hairlines and fast turns. If you start from a still image, Image-to-Video can animate the swapped result into a short clip for storyboards, promos, or concept tests. Export as an image, GIF, or MP4 and do a quick pass to confirm edges, skin tone continuity, and any occlusions like glasses or hands.
Built for creators, teams, and batch workflows
Use AI Character Swap for ad variants, concept art, and rapid creative testing without re-shooting every idea. For teams processing many assets, a batch workflow can standardize reference selection and naming so reviews are faster and results are easier to compare. If you’re integrating into a pipeline, an API-style flow typically sends a target URL plus reference URL and returns a job ID, making it straightforward to automate previews and exports.
Consent, safety, and realistic limitations
Only swap people you have permission to use, and keep a clear record of consent when working with client or talent imagery. If your project also involves audio, voice cloning requires explicit authorization from the voice owner and should be treated as a separate consent step from visual edits. Results can vary with extreme angles, heavy motion blur, or low-resolution inputs, so use the preview to catch artifacts before you export.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The tool compares the source face with the target scene, aligns pose and scale, then blends facial details so the face swap fits the original lighting and expression.
