What "live face swap" means on this page
Most tools that advertise a live face swap run a model on your camera feed while you are still on it — for calls, streams, or a mirror on screen. This page covers both a browser live preview (above) and a documented clip-based path: upload footage you already recorded, swap the head across every frame, and download a video that plays like live action.
The clip path exists on purpose. A recorded clip lets the model spend far more compute per frame than a webcam pipeline can, so short-form video — TikTok, Reels, Shorts — usually comes out cleaner than a stream capture. The downloadable result is a live-action face swap file, not a virtual camera for Zoom or OBS. If you need a face changed inside an ongoing call or stream, use a dedicated real-time virtual-camera tool.
How to make a live face changer clip
- Upload the clip. MP4, MOV or WebM, 3–120 seconds, up to 100 MB, one clearly visible subject. Steady, well-lit footage gives the model more to work with.
- Add one portrait. A single JPG or PNG up to 12 MB — front-facing or three-quarter view, even lighting, face unobstructed. You do not need multiple angles.
- Choose 480p or 720p. Draft at 480p, final at 720p. 720p costs roughly twice as much per second.
- Check the estimate and generate. Credits are calculated from source duration (rounded up, 3 second minimum) and resolution before you confirm. Failed runs are refunded.
What a live face swap clip costs
Clip generations use prepaid credits (no subscription), charged at the Creator pack rate ($9.99 / 850 credits). The live studio preview above bills separately in renewable prepaid chunks while connected — check the studio estimate before you start.
Clip path examples:
| Source length | 480p | 720p |
|---|---|---|
| 3s (minimum) | ≈21 credits (≈$0.25) | ≈42 credits (≈$0.50) |
| 10s | ≈68 credits (≈$0.80) | ≈136 credits (≈$1.60) |
| 15s | ≈102 credits (≈$1.20) | ≈204 credits (≈$2.40) |
Credit packs start at $4.99 (400 credits). Your exact estimate appears after upload, before you confirm. See pricing for packs and how credits work across tools.
Real-time webcam vs. clip-based face swap
| Real-time webcam swap | This tool (clip-based) | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Live feed for calls and streams | Downloadable MP4 |
| Setup | Webcam, desktop app, sometimes OBS | Browser only |
| Works on mobile | Rarely | Yes |
| Fast motion / quick head turns | Often breaks up | Handled per frame |
| Cost model | Monthly subscription | Per clip, prepaid |
| Best for | Calls, live streams | Short-form video, skits, reactions |
Real-time tools trade quality for latency. When you are not on camera, that trade makes no sense — record the shot, swap it once, post the version that looks right.
Clips that take a live face swap best
Dance and trend clips — fast, full-body movement where the face only needs to track the head; try the Coldplay kiss cam or Shan Shen Bu templates. Reaction and talking-head shots — a stable camera and one subject is the easiest input. Crowd and kiss-cam footage — works when the target face stays clear of other people. Costume and character bits — swap in a face that fits the bit rather than buying a mask. Presenter and product reads — a different face on the same read, without reshooting.

Live face swap vs. video face swap on this site
Both use the same head-swap model on the same kind of input. Video face swap is the general workflow and handles any clip up to two minutes. Live face swap is the short-clip route: 3–15 second takes, one portrait, generated fast and cheaply enough to try several versions. Read the video face swap guide if you need the full spec sheet, or start here if you are making short social clips.
What changes — and what stays
Changes: facial features, hair and head outline, adapted to each frame's angle and lighting.
Designed to stay: body pose, clothing, background and framing.
Known limits: fast cuts, heavy motion blur, hands covering the face, profile-only angles and crowded scenes can reduce identity consistency. One clear subject per clip is the reliable case.
Consent, likeness and responsible use
Only upload footage and portraits you have the rights to use. Do not create content of people who have not agreed to it, and check the rules of the platform you are posting to — several treat synthetic face content as requiring a label. The tool does not grant you any rights to anyone's likeness.

FAQ
Is this a real-time face swap?
The studio above can preview a swap on your camera feed. The documented clip path edits footage you already recorded and returns a downloadable video file — not a virtual camera for calls.
Do I need a webcam, OBS or any app?
No app or OBS. The live preview uses your browser camera; the clip path is upload-only on desktop or mobile.
Can I use it on Zoom, TikTok Live or a stream?
Not as a virtual camera inside the broadcast. Record the segment, run the clip path, then play the swapped file back on stream.
How long does a clip take to process?
Usually minutes; you can close the tab and return to your creations.
How long can the clip be?
3 to 120 seconds. Shorter clips cost less.
How many photos do I need?
One clear portrait.
How much does one 3-second clip cost?
About 21 credits (≈$0.25) at 480p, roughly double at 720p.
Can it handle two people in one clip?
It may, but identity targeting in crowded or multi-person shots is not guaranteed.
Does it keep the original audio?
Not guaranteed — check the output before publishing.
Can I use the result commercially?
Only with the rights and consent to the footage and likeness, and within the site terms.
Is a live face swap the same as a deepfake?
It is the same underlying technique. Use it on people who have agreed, and label synthetic content where a platform requires it.
Which is better for social video — this or a webcam swap?
For recorded short-form clips, this. For calls and live streams, a real-time tool.
