The face swap video pipeline works in several stages. First, facial detection and tracking identifies the target face in every frame and maps its 3D pose (yaw, pitch, roll). Then the source face is warped to match each frame's specific angle and expression—if the person in the video turns their head 30 degrees left, the swapped face also turns 30 degrees. Finally, color correction and blending match the skin tone, lighting, and ambient color of the scene. The result is a video where the swapped face moves and emotes naturally, as if it were really there. Processing takes 2-5 minutes depending on video length and resolution. CelebMakerAI supports most common video formats (MP4, MOV, WebM) as input.

How to Use Video Face Swap Step by Step

Go to the Face Swap tool and switch to video mode using the toggle at the top. Upload your source face—use a clear, well-lit front-facing photo for best results. Then upload your target video (the video you want the face applied to). Choose between face swap (face only, keeps target's hair) or head swap (full head including hair). For head swap, select your preferred output resolution: 480p for faster processing or 720p for sharper quality. Click generate and wait—you'll see a progress indicator. When processing completes, preview your result and download. The output is a clean MP4 with no watermarks.
