How to Use GiliSoft Face Swap

Import a photo or video

In Import Video/Picture, click Add File or drag in the photo or video that contains the face you want to change. This is the target. Keep a separate, sharp portrait ready to use as the replacement face.

Swap a face in a photo

1. Open the target photo

   Import the photo that contains the person you want to change. It appears on the left.

2. Add a reference portrait and select the face

   Choose Add face image on the right and load a clear, front-facing portrait. Use Replace in that panel to change the reference portrait. If there are several detected faces, select the thumbnail of the person you want to change.

   

3. Export and inspect the photo

   Choose Export. Open the saved image at full size and check the eyes, hairline and jaw for visible blending issues.

See the photo tutorial for choosing a reference portrait and improving the result.

Swap a face in a video

1. Trim or crop the target clip

   In Cut/Crop, use the timeline handles or Start Time and End Time to keep the section you want. To change the framing, adjust the crop box or Crop Size. Select Next Step when the range and framing are set.

   

2. Identify the face and add its replacement

   Choose Identify Faces to find the faces in the clip. Select the intended face thumbnail and use Add face image to load its replacement portrait.

   

3. Export a test clip

   Check the selected face and reference, then choose Export. Play the saved clip and look for flicker during head turns and speech before processing the full video.

See the video tutorial for input selection and video quality checks.

Choose cloud or local processing

Cloud Face Swap sends the selected media online for processing and uses a separate usage-based points model. Review the job's requirements in the app before exporting.

Offline FaceSwap Master processes photos and videos on your Windows PC without sending them to the cloud for processing. It uses a separate offline license. Its controls may differ from the points-based screens shown above.

Compare cloud and offline Face Swap.

Export and check the result

Choose Export and save the result separately from the original. Inspect photos at full size for mismatched skin tone or rough face edges. In video, look for flicker or drift around head turns, speech and partial obstructions.

Try a sharper portrait or a shorter segment if a face looks unstable. Check the new export before processing the full clip.
