Live Face Swap: Change Your Face

Swap your face live on camera using a reference image. Choose another person’s face, an anime character, or a fantasy character, and the AI face swap follows your head movements and facial expressions in real time. Watch the demos below to see different faces applied to the same person.

Live Try-On: Change Your Outfit

Try on different outfits live on camera using a reference image. Choose a suit, dress, costume, or armor, and the AI changes your clothing while following your body movements in real time. Watch the demos below to see different outfits on the same person.

Live Restyle: Change Your Visual Style

Change the visual style of your live camera feed using a reference image. Choose an anime, clay, painted, or other artistic look, and the AI applies that style to the people, objects, and backgrounds in your video while keeping the action in motion. Watch the demos below to see how different styles transform a person or scene.

What Is Live Face Swap?

Live face swap uses AI to replace the face in your webcam feed with a reference face in real time. Your expressions and movements drive the live result, while the reference image guides its appearance.

The Reference Guides the Appearance

A reference portrait gives the AI a visual guide for the face you want to appear on camera. It supplies the facial appearance, while your webcam supplies the performance. A clear, front-facing reference helps the AI interpret the look you want.

Your Camera Drives the Movement

Your webcam supplies a continuous stream of your expressions, head movements, and gestures. As you smile, speak, or turn your head, those changes guide the live transformation. Even lighting and a clearly visible face give the AI a better view of your performance.

Cloud AI Generates the Live Output

During a live session, your selected reference and camera stream are sent to cloud AI for processing. The AI uses both inputs to generate transformed video and streams it back to the studio beside your original camera feed. Processing runs continuously, so a stable internet connection helps keep the output responsive.

Explore Live Face Swap, Virtual Outfits, and AI Styles

Start by changing who appears on camera. Then explore what they wear and how their world looks, with three reference-driven effects in one live studio.

A Different Face. A Performance That Is Yours.

Give an anime hero your grin or see a fantasy character react to your next head turn. Live face swap uses your reference portrait to guide a new identity while your webcam provides the expressions and movement, giving you room to experiment with character ideas and short performances.

  • Explore realistic portraits, anime faces, and fantasy characters
  • Drive the live result with your own expressions and movement
  • Change the reference to try another identity in the same session

Change the Costume and Explore a New Role

See how a sharp suit, a dramatic coat, or a suit of armor changes your presence on camera. Use an outfit image to guide the live transformation, then move and pose to explore the look as part of a performance or a costume idea.

  • Use an outfit reference from the gallery or your own images
  • Experiment with everyday fashion, statement pieces, and costumes
  • See the AI reinterpret the outfit as you pose and move

Take Your Performance Into Another Visual World

Turn a familiar camera scene into an illustrated frame or a world of handcrafted textures. Restyle uses a reference image to guide the look of the whole scene, letting you explore how the same movements feel in an animated, painted, or clay-inspired setting.

  • Guide the scene with the colors and textures of a reference image
  • Transform the visual style of both the person and surroundings
  • Explore different aesthetics with the same camera setup

Live Face Swap: What to Know Before You Go Live

How references work, what you need to start, and how credits and recordings are handled in the browser studio.

1

Is live face swap free?

Eligible new users can try live face swap for free after signing up, with no credit card required. After your trial, you can buy a one-time pack to continue. You can also watch the demos and preview your camera for free.

2

How do I swap faces live with my webcam?

Choose Character in the studio, select a fictional character, and open your camera. Sign in and start your live session with available credits. Your camera input and AI output appear side by side.

3

Can I use my own character image?

Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 10 MB, or choose a recommended reference. For face swaps, start with a clear, front-facing portrait. The result depends on your reference, lighting, and camera framing.

4

Can I change clothes or visual styles too?

Yes. The studio includes Try-On for outfit changes and Restyle for visual transformations, with their own reference images. Stop your current live session before switching effects. These modes must not be used to recreate or imitate a real person's identity.

5

Do I need to install software?

You can try the AI effects and check the results in your browser without installing anything. For regular use, live streaming, or video calls, we recommend the Windows desktop app. Its built-in virtual camera connects directly to compatible video apps and can be added as a video source in OBS. The macOS app is coming soon.

6

When does a live session start using credits?

Billing starts when resources are allocated to your live session, which may happen before the first output frame appears. The studio displays the credit rate before you start. Stop the session when you are finished; purchased credits are valid for one month.

7

Can I record or download the live output?

Yes. In a supported browser, you can record up to 90 seconds of the AI output, optionally include microphone audio, and download the clip to your device. Recordings stay on your device and are not uploaded or saved to your account. Download your clip before leaving the page; desktop Chrome or Edge is recommended.

8

Are my camera feed and recordings saved?

Neither we nor our live processing provider record or retain your live camera feed or generated live video. Clips you choose to record, including optional microphone audio, stay on your device. Starting a live session sends the selected reference and camera stream to our processing provider for the requested effect. See our Privacy Policy for details about reference storage and data processing.

Who Will You Become on Camera?

An anime hero with your smile. A fantasy character with your expressions. Choose a reference, step in front of the camera, and see where your next performance takes you.
