Making a GIF that swaps well

  • Reaction GIFs with one clear face work best.
  • Fast head turns and blurry motion can make the face flicker.
  • Trim long GIFs in any GIF editor before uploading.
  • Too big? Resize it first. Most reaction GIFs are already small enough.

Getting the GIF file

The tool takes the GIF file itself, not a link to it. On most GIF sites you can right-click the GIF (or long-press it on a phone) and save the image; check that the saved file ends in .gif. Some sites hand you a short MP4 instead: that clip works in Video Face Swap, which also keeps the sound.

Your files

Your GIF and face photo are stored privately while we make the swap. We delete both when it's done, always within an hour. The finished GIF is kept 7 days so you can download it. If a swap fails, it doesn't count.

GIF Face Swap FAQ

Is there a free GIF face swap?

Yes, to try: new accounts get free tries that work on GIF swaps. Photo Face Swap is free with no sign-up.

How do I face swap a GIF?

Add a face photo (or pick a built-in face), upload the GIF, sign in and click Swap face. About a minute later you can download the new GIF.

Do I need to download an app?

No. GIF Face Swap works on this page in any up-to-date browser, on a computer or a phone. You sign in to run a GIF swap; Photo Face Swap works without an account.

Can it swap two people in the same GIF?

Yes. When the GIF has several faces, tap each one in the row that appears and pick a new face for it, up to 6. Each person keeps their new face from frame to frame.

Why was my GIF refused?

It was over 15 MB, longer than 30 seconds or 300 frames, or wider than 1024 pixels. Trim or resize it and try again.

Will the GIF still loop?

Yes. It loops the same way as the GIF you uploaded.

Can I swap a face in an MP4 instead?

That's Video Face Swap. It keeps the sound and takes clips up to 60 seconds.

Is there a watermark, and does the GIF lose quality?

Free results have a small Facecam mark in the corner; on a plan, nothing is drawn on the frames. GIFs can only show a limited number of colours, so skin can look a little blotchy. For smoother colour, swap an MP4 with Video Face Swap instead.

How long does a GIF face swap take?

About a minute for a typical reaction GIF. Longer GIFs with more frames take longer.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. It works in any up-to-date phone browser, and the finished GIF downloads like any image.

Can I post the GIF on Discord, Slack or social media?

Yes. You get a normal GIF file up to 1024 pixels a side, so it uploads anywhere GIFs do.

Is face swapping a GIF legal?

Making a face swap GIF for fun is legal in most places.

Do you keep my GIF?

Your GIF and face photo are deleted when the swap is done, always within an hour. The finished GIF stays 7 days, then it's deleted.
