Face Swap Video
Changed onWhat this API does
Create the same Face Swap you can make in the browser, but programmatically, so you can automate it, run it at scale, or connect it to your own app or workflow.
Good for
- Automation and batch processing
- Adding face swap into apps, pipelines, or tools
How it works (3 steps)
- Upload your inputs (video, image, or audio) with Generate Upload URLs and copy the file_path.
- Send a request to create a face swap job with the basic fields.
- Check the job status until it's complete, then download the result from downloads.
Key options
- Inputs: usually a file, sometimes a YouTube link, depending on project type
- Resolution: output size and plan requirements vary by workflow and model. Some workflows derive output size from the input video.
- Extra fields: e.g. face_swap_mode, start_seconds/end_seconds, or a text prompt
Cost
Credits are charged when the job is queued (credits_charged in the response). Tools billed per frame charge an estimate and settle to the frames that actually render once the job finishes; tools billed per second charge the final amount upfront. Failed jobs are refunded.
For detailed examples, see the product page.
