Beyond face swap

What is an AI head swap?

A face swap changes the face and keeps everything else. An AI head swap replaces the entire head — so the new identity is complete and consistent in every frame.

Identity

The whole head — face, hair and head shape

Upload a video and one clear photo of the new head. The AI swaps the head in the video — face, hairstyle, hairline and head shape all come from your photo — and tracks it through every movement and turn. The body, clothes, background, motion and audio stay exactly as they were filmed.

  • Replaces the full head including hair — a real face and hair swap
  • Body, outfit & scene stay untouched
  • Identity stays consistent frame after frame

Only need to change the face? Try AI face swap. Want to replace the whole person — body, clothes and all? That’s AI character swap.

How to swap a head in a video

Everything runs in the browser studio — upload, pick, generate. The exact credit cost is shown before you confirm.

1

Upload

Add your video and one clear photo of the new head — a sharp, front-lit head shot with the full hairstyle visible works best.

2

Pick

Choose whose head to swap when several people are in frame, scrub to a clear starting frame, and line the angle up with the built-in pose matching tool.

3

Generate

Pick resolution, duration and fast or high quality — the cost appears on the button. Your finished head swap video lands in the gallery, ready to download.

Tips for the most realistic head swap

Small choices before you hit Generate make the biggest difference.

Use a clear head shot

One sharp, front-lit photo where the whole head is visible — face, hairline and hairstyle — beats five blurry ones. Avoid sunglasses, hands, hats or hair covering the face.

Match the angle

Results are best when the head in your photo roughly matches the angle of the head in the video’s first frame. Scrub to a clear frame and use the built-in pose matching tool to line the two up.

Keep the head in frame

Pick videos where the head stays clearly visible — no heavy occlusion, extreme blur or hard cuts. Steady shots of one clearly-framed person give the cleanest swap.

Add extra views for long clips

On the Samurai plan you can add up to 3 more photos of the same head — a profile, a back view, a close-up. Identity stays consistent through turns and longer videos.

Fair & transparent

Head swap plans & pricing

Credits are a fixed price per second of video — never an estimate. You see the exact cost before you confirm, and failed generations are refunded automatically.

Paid plans: minimum 5 credits per video. Head swap requires a paid plan (from Kohai, $9.90/mo) — free accounts can test the sibling Character Swap on 1-second clips at 5 credits per second. Resolution never changes the price.

What you get on Free vs Paid

Free Head swap starts on Kohai — but your free credits (10 on signup + 10 per daily login) let you test Character Swap on 1-second clips first.

Paid Longer videos (up to 60 s), higher resolutions up to 1080p, high quality mode, extra reference photos and bigger monthly credit packs.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI head swap?

An AI head swap replaces the entire head of a person in a video — face, hairstyle, hairline and head shape — with a head from a photo you provide. The body, clothes, background, motion and audio stay exactly as filmed; only the head changes.

How is a head swap different from a face swap?

A face swap changes only the face — the original hair and head shape stay. A head swap is a full face and hair swap: the whole head comes from your photo, so the new identity is complete even when the hairstyle is very different.

How is Head Swap different from Character Swap?

Character Swap replaces the entire person — body, clothes and all. Head Swap replaces only the head while the body, outfit and scene stay exactly as filmed. Pick Head Swap when the performance and wardrobe should stay untouched.

Can I swap a head in a video for free?

Head swap requires a paid plan — it starts on Kohai at $9.90/month. A free account still gets 10 credits plus 10 more per daily login, which you can use to test the sibling Character Swap on 1-second clips before upgrading.

How many credits does a head swap cost?

Head Swap costs 5 credits per second of output video in fast mode, or 8 credits per second in high quality mode. The exact total is shown on the Generate button before you confirm, and you are only charged for successful jobs — see our refund policy.

How long can my head swap video be?

Head swap starts on Kohai: 10 seconds, 15 on Ninja, 30 on Ronin and up to 60 seconds on Samurai (free accounts can run a 1-second Character Swap test instead). If your upload is longer, you simply pick which part to process.

What makes a good head photo?

One sharp, well-lit photo where the whole head is visible — face, hairline and full hairstyle — with nothing covering it. For best results, match the head angle in the video’s first frame; the built-in pose matching tool helps you line them up.

Does a head swap change the body, voice or background?

No. Only the head is replaced. The body, clothes, background, camera moves, motion and the original audio track all stay exactly as they were filmed.
