Akool Video Face Swap

Playground

AKOOL Video Face Swap replaces faces in videos from a single image, supporting multiple faces for seamless, realistic swaps. Price starts at $0.05 per video second with a minimum charge of 10 seconds. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Akool Video Face Swap is a powerful AI-powered face swapping model that replaces faces in videos with new ones. Upload source faces and their corresponding target faces, provide a video, and the model seamlessly swaps each face — perfect for content creation, entertainment, and creative projects.

Why It Stands Out

• Multi-face swapping: Swap multiple faces in a single video simultaneously.
• Face-to-face mapping: Match each source face to its corresponding target face.
• Face enhancement: Optional post-swap face quality enhancement for better results.
• High-quality output: Produces realistic, seamless face replacements.
• Long video support: Process videos up to 10 minutes (600 seconds).

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload source images — add face images that will appear in the final video.
2. Upload target images — add face images to be replaced (match order with source images).
3. Upload your video — provide the video containing faces to swap.
4. Enable face enhancement (recommended) — improves face quality after swapping.
5. Click Run and wait for processing.
6. Preview and download the result.

Face Mapping

The model matches source and target faces by order:

Add multiple source/target pairs to swap multiple faces in the same video.

Best Use Cases

• Content Creation — Create engaging face-swap videos for social media.
• Entertainment — Produce fun videos with friends and family.
• Film & Production — Replace faces for creative or practical purposes.
• Marketing — Create personalized video content at scale.
• Dubbing & Localization — Swap faces for regional content adaptation.

Pricing

Billing Rules

• Billed per second at $0.05
• Minimum charge: 10 seconds
• Maximum duration: 600 seconds (10 minutes)

Pro Tips for Best Quality

• Use high-resolution, front-facing source images with clear facial features.
• Ensure target images match the faces appearing in the video.
• Keep face enhancement enabled for smoother, higher-quality results.
• Videos with well-lit, forward-facing subjects produce the best swaps.
• Match the number of source and target images correctly.

Notes

• Ensure uploaded image and video URLs are publicly accessible.
• Processing time varies based on video length and current queue load.
• Please ensure your content complies with usage guidelines and respect individuals’ likeness rights.
