Face Swap
Update the model’s face while keeping outfit, body shape, pose, and lighting unchanged. Use Face Swap to localize, personalize, or match a creative direction without changing the product.
What is Face Swap?
Face Swap is available on the Agency plan. It replaces the model’s face in an existing image while keeping outfit, pose, lighting, and composition the same. Use it when the product image is already correct and only the face should change.
Want to change the entire person to a different identity, while keeping the product, pose, and background the same? Use Model Swap with "Face Reference" instead.
How to Use It
Select a Source Image
In Gallery, click Edit on an image where the outfit and pose are correct, or upload a new image in Edit.
Add a Face Reference
In Edit, open Face Swap and upload a clear face photo. Use a similar angle and lighting. You can also pick from Recent Faces.
Choose "Match Reference" or "Match Current Model"
- "Match Reference" will keep the face reference's expression, head angle and gaze direction. This is recommended for maximum resemblance to the face reference.
- "Match Current Model" will attempt to match the face reference to the current model's face (looking direction, expression). This is recommended for more natural results.

Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Source image | The image you want to edit, opened from Gallery or uploaded in Edit. |
| Face reference | A clear face photo, ideally with a similar angle and lighting. Required to control identity. |
| Match Reference | Keep the face reference's expression, head angle and gaze direction. This is recommended for maximum resemblance to the face reference. |
| Match Current Model | Attempt to match the face reference to the current model's face (looking direction, expression). This is recommended for more natural results. |
Best Practices
- Face Swap only changes the face, so the current model should already have the same gender, age, and ethnicity as the face reference for a natural swap.
- If the face reference is a different ethnicity, age, or gender, you should use Model Swap for a full body swap.
- To increase the reliability of the swap, use a face reference with a similar angle and lighting.
Troubleshooting
If the result doesn’t look quite right, try:
- Face size mismatch → Use a face reference with a similar size to the subject. For example, match full-body images with full-body references and half-body images with half-body references.
