- / iSamurai Quick Face Swap: The Complete Step-by-Step Guide for Instant Results
The Quick Face Swap tool is your express lane to swapping a single face in any image or video. Designed for speed and simplicity, it takes one "Identity" (Source) and applies it to one "Scene" (Target). Perfect for memes, profile pictures, and quick revisions.
🖥️ Interface Overview¶
Before you start, here is a quick tour of the dashboard:
1. Source Face (Left Panel)¶
This is the face you want to use. You can Upload a new photo or select one from your Gallery if you've used it before.
2. Target Media (Right Panel)¶
This is the image or video where the face will appear. iSamurai supports standard image formats (JPG, PNG) and popular video formats (MP4, MOV, MKV).
3. Controls¶
Use the Quality Selector to switch between SD (fastest, good for mobile), HD, or Full HD (professional quality). The Clear Session button resets both panels.
🚀 Step-by-Step Tutorial¶
Step 1: Upload Your Source Identity¶
The Source Face is the face you want to use (the "who"). Click the Upload button in the left panel and select a clear, front-facing photo.
Pro Tip: Avoid photos with heavy shadows, hair covering the eyes, or extreme angles. High-quality sources act like high-quality blueprints for the AI.

Step 2: Choose Your Target Scene¶
The Target Media is the image or video where the face will appear (the "where"). Click Change Target in the right panel and upload your file.

Note: The swap shown here is an illustration to demonstrate the workflow. Actual results will vary based on face angles and lighting.
Step 3: Preview & Process¶
Before committing to a full video render, it's smart to check your settings. Use Preview Swap to see a single-frame preview. Then select your quality (SD, HD, or Full HD) and click Full Video FaceSwap.
Step 4: The Result¶
When processing is complete, your output will appear automatically. You can download it or save it to your Gallery.

❓ Common Questions¶
Q: Can I swap multiple people with this tool?¶
A: No, Quick Face Swap only swaps the most prominent face found in the image. For groups, use our Multi Face Swap tool.
Q: Why is my video taking long to process?¶
A: Higher resolutions (1080p) and longer video durations require significantly more AI processing power.
Q: Are my uploaded images saved?¶
A: Source faces are saved to your private gallery for convenience so you can reuse them. Processed videos are available for download for a limited time.
