Face Swap AI: Swap Faces Between Two Photos Online
VdoBloom AI face swap is an online tool that takes the face from one photo and places it into another, so the result looks like a real photograph. Upload a clear face photo and a target photo, and the AI replaces the face while keeping the target’s pose, outfit, lighting and background as they were.
Is it free? You can try it free: new accounts get 10 credits, and one face swap costs 10 credits, so your first swap is free. After that each swap is 10 credits, at Basic (2K) or High (4K) quality for the same price. Credits come from the Lite pack (300 credits for $19.50 one-time, never expiring) or a monthly plan.
People use it for fun edits with friends, seeing themselves in a new outfit or setting, costume and cosplay previews, and creative projects. Use only faces you have the right to use: your own, or those of people who have agreed to it.
How it works
- 1
Confirm consent
Tick the box confirming everyone in both photos is an adult and that you have their permission to use the images. The tool stays locked until you do.
- 2
Upload the face photo (1st image)
A clear, front-facing, well-lit photo of the face you want to use. You can also pick a saved character from your Library.
- 3
Upload the target photo (2nd image)
The picture whose body, pose, clothing and background you want to keep. The result keeps this photo’s shape.
- 4
Choose quality and swap
Basic (2K) or High (4K), both 10 credits. The prompt is pre-filled and editable if you want to adjust how the face is blended. Download the result when it is ready.
Why use this tool
Photo-realistic blending
Skin tone, head angle and lighting direction are matched to the target photo, and the face is blended into the neck and body instead of pasted on top.
The rest of the photo stays put
Pose, proportions, clothing, accessories, background and camera angle come from the target photo. Only the face changes.
2K or 4K output, one price
Pick Basic (2K) for sharing or High (4K) for print and close crops. Both cost 10 credits.
Keeps the target’s shape
The output ratio follows the target photo (square, portrait, landscape or widescreen), so a 9:16 story photo comes back as 9:16.
Is this AI face swap free?
You can try it free. Every new account gets 10 credits, and one swap costs 10 credits, so the first swap costs nothing. After that each swap is 10 credits whether you choose 2K or 4K.
On a free account, downloads from this tool carry a small VdoBloom watermark. Watermark-free downloads are for paid accounts. One-time credit packs never expire, and subscription credits reset each billing cycle.

Which model powers the face swap?
The swap runs on Seedream 4.5 Edit with a face-swap instruction that tells the model which photo supplies the face and which supplies everything else. If the main request fails, the tool retries on a backup Seedream editing path. If both fail, your credits are refunded.
| Setting | Options | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Basic (2K) or High (4K) | 10 either way |
| Output shape | Follows the target photo: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, 3:2 or 21:9 | Included |
| Prompt | Pre-filled face-swap instruction, editable | Included |
| Inputs | Exactly 2 photos: the face first, the target second | Included |

How does AI face swap work?
The tool sends both photos to an image editing model with fixed roles: the first photo is the face reference only, and the second is the reference for body, outfit, pose and composition. The model redraws the target photo with the new face, matching skin tone, head angle, expression direction and lighting, and blends the face into the neck and hairline so there is no visible seam.
Because the result is generated rather than cut and pasted, it avoids the mismatched colour and hard edges of a manual photo composite. The trade-off is that the whole image is redrawn, so small details can shift slightly from the original.
Use only faces you have the rights to
A face swap puts a real person’s likeness into a picture they were never in, so it needs their permission. Swap your own face, or faces of people who have agreed. All uploads must be of adults, and you confirm this, plus your right to use the photos, before every swap.
Do not use the tool to make someone appear to say or do something they did not, to impersonate a public figure, or to create sexual or humiliating images of anyone. A content safety checker runs on every swap and blocks sexual results. If you share a swap publicly, saying it is AI-edited avoids misleading people. Commercial use of anyone’s face, including celebrities, normally needs their written permission.

Ideas for face swaps
Popular ways people use a photo face swap:
- Put yourself into a costume, cosplay or fantasy outfit photo before you buy or make it.
- Swap faces with a friend (with their OK) for a group chat or birthday joke.
- Preview yourself in a professional outfit or a new setting for fun.
- Make a themed card or invitation starring the person it is for.
- Create a consistent character for a story or comic using your own face.
Tips for a realistic face swap
The quality of the two photos decides most of the result. These habits help:
- Use a sharp, front-facing face photo with even light and no sunglasses, masks or hands over the face.
- Pick a target photo where the head is a similar angle to the face photo. A profile face onto a front-facing body rarely looks natural.
- Match the light roughly: a daylight selfie blends better into an outdoor photo than into a dim, colour-lit party shot.
- Choose a target with one clearly visible person. The tool swaps one face per run.
- Use High (4K) when you plan to print or crop in close.
What the face swap cannot do
It swaps one face per run into one photo. Group photos with several faces to replace, batch swaps and video face swap are not available in this tool. Each result is a newly generated image, so very small details such as jewellery or text in the target photo can shift slightly; compare before you share.
Swaps that the safety checker flags are blocked. Very low-resolution, side-on or heavily filtered face photos give weaker likeness.
Frequently asked questions
How do I swap faces in a photo with AI?
Open VdoBloom Face Swap, confirm consent, upload a clear photo of the face first and the target photo second, choose Basic (2K) or High (4K), and click swap. The AI places the face into the target photo with matched lighting and angle, ready to download.
Is AI face swap free on VdoBloom?
You can try it free. New accounts get 10 free credits and one face swap costs 10 credits, so the first swap is free. After that each swap costs 10 credits. Downloads on a free account carry a small watermark.
How much does a face swap cost?
Each face swap costs 10 credits, for 2K or 4K output. The Lite pack of 300 credits ($19.50 one-time, never expiring) covers 30 swaps.
How realistic are AI face swaps?
The AI matches skin tone, head angle and scene lighting when it blends the new face in, so well-chosen photos give results that look like real photographs. Clear, front-facing, well-lit images of both the face and the target give the most convincing output.
Does face swapping change the rest of the photo?
Only the face is meant to change. The target photo’s pose, body, clothing, background and composition are kept, and the output keeps the target photo’s shape. Because the result is regenerated, check fine details such as jewellery or small text before sharing.
Can I swap multiple faces in a group photo?
Not in one run. The tool swaps one face into one target photo at a time. For a group photo, use a target where one person is the clear subject.
Can I face swap a video?
No. VdoBloom Face Swap works on photos only. You can download the swapped photo and use it in other image tools.
Is it legal to face swap someone else?
It depends on where you live and what you do with it. Using your own face, or a face with the person’s permission, for personal fun is the safe ground. Impersonation, fake endorsements, harassment and sexual images of real people are illegal in many places and are not allowed on VdoBloom.
Can I use a celebrity’s face?
Celebrities have likeness and publicity rights, so using their face without permission, especially commercially or in a way that could mislead, can break the law and VdoBloom’s terms. Stick to your own face or people who have agreed.
What photos give the best face swap results?
A sharp, front-facing face photo with even lighting, and a target photo with one clearly visible person whose head is at a similar angle. Avoid sunglasses, masks, heavy filters and tiny or blurry faces.
