Face Swap for TikTok

Swap a face across a vertical clip and download it clean, ready to upload. There is no watermark on the result, so the video does not arrive on TikTok branded by another app.

Video is billed at 2 credits per second, which puts a typical 15-second TikTok at 30 credits.

Shooting a clip that actually swaps well

The footage that works is not the footage TikTok trends usually reward, so it is worth knowing the trade-off. Face swapping is frame-by-frame, so it is happiest when the subject is well lit, roughly facing the camera, and moving at a normal pace. Trending formats built on fast cuts, whip pans and rapid head movement are precisely the conditions that make a swap ghost.

If you are shooting specifically to swap, a talking-to-camera clip in even light is close to a guaranteed result. If you are swapping footage you already have, expect the calm sections to look great and the frenetic ones to be where artefacts show.

Vertical video, credits and clip length

Aspect ratio is preserved, so a 9:16 clip comes back 9:16 and does not need re-cropping before upload.

Because billing is per second, length is the main cost lever. A 15-second clip is 30 credits and a 60-second one is 120, so the 100 free credits on a new account cover roughly 50 seconds of finished video in total. Trimming to the part you will actually post β€” before uploading, not after β€” is the difference between a few test clips and one.

Disclosure is worth doing

TikTok requires synthetic or AI-manipulated media showing realistic scenes or people to be disclosed, and provides a toggle for exactly that. Using it is both the rule and, practically, the safer path for an account you care about.

The same consent line applies as everywhere: your own face or a willing friend's is fine; putting someone into a clip who has not agreed to it is not.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a watermark on the download?+

No. The clip downloads clean, so it does not arrive on TikTok branded by another tool.

What does a TikTok-length clip cost?+

2 credits per second β€” about 30 credits for 15 seconds, 120 for a full minute. The 100 free credits on signup cover roughly 50 seconds of video.

Does it keep vertical aspect ratio?+

Yes, 9:16 comes back 9:16 with no re-cropping needed.

Why does my swap look wobbly in fast parts?+

Fast head motion blurs individual frames, and swapping onto a blurred face is where frame-by-frame swapping struggles. Steadier, front-facing footage swaps cleanly.

Do I need to disclose that it is AI?+

TikTok requires disclosure for realistic AI-generated or manipulated content and provides a toggle for it. Use it.
