Face Swap: How to Swap Faces in Any Photo with AI

Face swap is one of the most popular AI image effects — and it's been around for years. But modern AI face swap is so realistic that the results are indistinguishable from real photos. Here's how to do it on Crevisto.

What the Face Swap tool does

The Face Swap tool takes a source photo (the face you want) and a target photo (the body/scene you want) and swaps the face. The result includes:

  • Realistic face transfer — the face is blended into the target photo
  • Matched lighting — the face is lit to match the target
  • Matched skin tone — the face's skin tone is adjusted to match
  • Preserved expression — the face keeps its natural expression
  • Seamless blending — no visible edges or artifacts

How to generate a face swap

1. Visit the Face Swap tool

2. Upload the source photo (the face you want)

3. Upload the target photo (the body/scene you want)

4. Click "Generate"

5. Download your face-swapped image

Tips for best results

  • Similar angles — both photos should have similar face angles
  • Similar lighting — the closer the lighting, the better the blend
  • Clear faces — no sunglasses, hats, or obstructions
  • Front-facing works best — but side angles can work too
  • One person per photo — the AI focuses on a single face

Using the CLI

curl -fsSL https://crevisto.com/install.sh | sh
crevisto trial
crevisto generate face-swap --input source=./my-face.jpg --input target=./target-body.jpg --output ./swapped.webp
