Choose a useful selfie for a video face swap

Start with a clear portrait that makes the face easy to see.

1. Face the camera

Try a front-facing portrait with the main facial features visible. A photo with one clear face gives you a straightforward starting point.

2. Use even light

Choose an image where the face is neither deeply shadowed nor washed out. Avoid heavy filters that hide facial details.

3. Keep the face unobstructed

Try a photo without hands, hair or large accessories covering the eyes and face. Compare another photo if the generated clip is difficult to recognize.

4. Review the entire clip

Look beyond a single frame. Check the face as the person moves, and save only a result you are comfortable sharing.

Keep your edit focused

Use your own face or a face you have permission to use. Avoid impersonation, harassment and presenting an AI-created clip as authentic footage.
