How it works

How to make an AI face swap video in 3 steps.

This is the exact flow inside the app: AI Video Studio, then AI Face Swap in the Editing tools. Each picture below was made for this page with fictional people.

    Upload your video

    Add the clip you want to change

    Upload an .mp4, .mov or .webm file up to 200 MB, or pick a video you already made in ClipNova from My videos. Standard takes clips of 1 to 29 seconds and Pro takes 5 to 20 seconds, so trim longer footage to the moment you need first.

    Add the new face

    Choose a face photo and a quality mode

    Upload a clear photo of the new face or pick one from My images, then choose Standard or Pro. In Pro you can add up to three photos and a short note on who becomes whom.

    Press Swap face and download

    ClipNova renders the new person into every frame and keeps the original audio. The finished clip lands in your Library like any other video, ready to download without a watermark and post wherever you like.

Standard vs Pro

Two modes, pick per clip.

Standard is the quick, affordable face swap for one person. Pro is the most realistic video face swap AI in ClipNova, with natural skin, cleaner blending and multiple faces.

Example: a 15 second clip costs about 150 credits in Standard and about 1,690 credits in Pro. The exact cost is shown before you swap.

Multiple face swap

Swap up to three people in the same video.

Group clips are where most face swap tools give up. In Pro, ClipNova does a multi face swap in one pass: add one photo per person and they are matched to the people in the video from left to right, so the first photo becomes the person on the left, the second the person in the middle and the third the person on the right.

If the order in your video is different, add a short note such as "photo 2 replaces the man in the grey sweater". The swap keeps everyone's timing, gestures and reactions, and camera cuts in the clip stay where they were.

Use cases

What people make with face swap video.

Creator skits and series

Play every role in a sketch yourself, then give each character a different face. Recast a recurring character without reshooting the scene.

Ads and UGC, localized

Film one strong UGC ad and swap in presenters who fit each market, with their written consent. The script, timing and product shots stay identical, so you test faces, not edits.

Personalized videos

Put a customer, a teammate or a friend who agreed to it into a greeting, a welcome video or a sales follow-up, using the same base clip for everyone.

Film, fan edits and pre-viz

Try a stand-in's take with the lead actor's face before a reshoot, preview casting choices, or rework your own short film without calling the crew back.

Memes and parody, with consent

Swap yourself or friends who said yes into a reaction clip or a trend. Keep it light, label it as AI and never use someone's face without asking.

Education and training

Reuse one training video with different presenters for different teams or languages, or protect a speaker's identity by swapping in a consenting stand-in.

Tips

Get the best face swap results.

Responsible use

Consent first, always.

Only swap faces you have the right to use: your own, or people who gave you clear permission, in videos you own or are allowed to edit.

Do not use face swap to impersonate anyone, to mislead people, to harass someone or to make sexual content of a real person. Do not use the faces of celebrities, politicians or other public figures. Content that breaks these rules is against ClipNova's terms.

When you post, follow each platform's rules on AI content. TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook ask creators to label realistic AI-generated or altered video, and ads still need their usual disclosures.

AI face swap video questions.

How do I make an AI face swap video?+

Log in to ClipNova, open AI Video Studio and choose AI Face Swap. Upload your video (or pick one from My videos), add the face photo, choose Standard or Pro and press Swap face. The result is saved to your Library.

What is the difference between Standard and Pro?+

Standard renders at 720p, takes clips of 1 to 29 seconds and swaps the main person. Pro renders at 1080p with the most natural skin and blending, takes clips of 5 to 20 seconds and can swap up to three people at once. Both keep the original audio.

Can I swap more than one face in a video?+

Yes, in Pro. Add up to three face photos and they are matched to the people in the video from left to right. You can add a short note to say who becomes whom if the order is different.

Does the face swap keep the original voice and sound?+

Yes. The soundtrack of your clip is kept as it is. If you also want the new person to say different words, pair the swap with AI Lip Sync or a new voiceover.

Does it only change the face?+

It changes the person's look: face, skin tone and hair come from your photo, and it can also carry over the photo's outfit. The pose, motion, expressions, camera, background and lighting come from the original video.

What videos work best for a face swap?+

Clips where one to three people face the camera, stay in frame and are reasonably well lit. Very fast motion, faces mostly hidden or faces at the very edge of the frame give weaker results.

Can I paste a TikTok or Instagram link?+

No. Download or export the clip first, then upload the file (.mp4, .mov or .webm up to 200 MB). You can also use any video you made in ClipNova.

Is there a mobile app?+

ClipNova is a web app. It works in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer, so there is nothing to install.

Is AI face swapping legal?+

Swapping your own face, or the face of someone who gave you permission, for fun, ads or creative work is generally fine. Using someone's face without consent, impersonating real people or making deceptive or sexual content can break the law and platform rules, and is not allowed on ClipNova.

How much does an AI face swap video cost?+

Face swap needs a paid plan, from $19/mo. Standard uses about 50 credits per started 5 seconds and Pro about 113 credits per second, so a 15 second clip is about 150 credits in Standard and about 1,690 in Pro. The exact cost is shown before you swap.
