How it works

How AI head swap works

  1. Add the head photo

    A sharp, front-facing photo of the head you want to use, with all of the hair inside the frame.

  2. Add the target photo

    The photo that receives the head. The body, the clothes and the background stay as they are.

  3. Check the price and generate

    The studio shows the price before you start. You get one new photo, marked as AI-made in its file data.

Compare

Head swap vs face swap

Both put someone into another photo. The difference is how much of them comes along.

Why DER

Keep the hair, too

  • Face and hair

    Head swap moves the hairstyle along with the face.

  • Two photos in, one out

    One photo of the head and one target photo. You get one new photo back.

  • Head swap online

    It runs in your browser, on a phone or a computer. There’s nothing to install.

Better results

Pick the right photos

A head swap is only as good as the two photos behind it. Check these before you upload.

  • The head photo

    Do

    • Front-on or slightly turned
    • The whole head and all of the hair inside the frame
    • Even light and sharp focus

    Avoid

    • Hats, sunglasses or hands covering the face or hair
    • Hair cut off by the edge of the photo
    • Small, blurry or heavily filtered pictures

  • The target photo

    Do

    • One person, with the head easy to see
    • A head angle close to the one in the head photo
    • Light that matches the head photo

    Avoid

    • Group photos — crop to one person first
    • A head turned far away or partly hidden

Rules

Use it responsibly

Swapped photos are marked as AI-made inside the file. These rules apply to every swap:

  • Only use faces you have permission to use

    Your own face, or someone who agreed to it.

  • No deception or impersonation

    Don’t pass swapped content off as real, or use it to mislead, harass or defraud.

  • Label AI edits when you share

    Say the image was edited with AI where it matters.

  • No intimate images

    Never make sexual or intimate images of a real person without their consent, or anything involving minors.

FAQ

AI head swap FAQ

What is AI head swap?

AI head swap replaces the whole head of the person in a photo — face, hair and head shape — with the head from another photo. Think of it as a photo head changer: the body, the clothes and the background stay.

When should I use head swap instead of face swap?

When the hair matters — head swap moves the hairstyle too, face swap keeps the target’s hair.

What photos work best?

A sharp, front-facing head photo with all of the hair in the frame, and a target photo of one person with the head easy to see. PNG, JPEG, or WEBP files up to 20 MB each work.

Is AI head swap free?

No. A head swap starts at 15 credits per image (≈ $0.15). Credits come from one-time top-ups, starting at $5. There’s no subscription, and failed runs are refunded.

Can I swap a head in a video?

No. AI head swap works on photos only. To replace a person in a video, use AI Character Swap.

How long are my results kept?

7 days. Keep the ones you want in your Library (up to 200) so they don’t expire.
