AI Face Swap — Done Responsibly

The terms get used interchangeably, but there's a real distinction: a face swap puts your face onto a target video and tells you up front that the result is AI-generated. A "deepfake" in the harmful sense tries to make synthetic content pass as real, often without the source person's consent.

Swap-Video is firmly in the first camp. Free-tier previews carry a visible watermark, our terms require you to disclose that shared videos are AI-generated, and we require three explicit consent checkboxes before processing. If you came looking for a "deepfake video maker" to deceive someone, this isn't the right tool.

• 3-model NSFW ensemble on the input photo and on sampled output frames. Models from EraX, Marqo, and Freepik run in parallel; majority vote (2 of 3) decides whether content is allowed. Single-model NSFW detection misses too much.
• Three required consent checkboxes — you confirm you accept the Terms of Service, you are 18 or older, and you have the right to use the photo. Not foolproof, but it creates an audit trail and forces a moment of intentional consent.
• A disclosure duty built into our terms: you agree to tell viewers that a shared video is AI-generated (a caption or label is enough). That's a feature, not a bug — viewers should know.
• 24-hour auto-delete on uploaded photos and videos. We retain only a SHA-256 hash for abuse audits — enough to identify a repeat offender, not enough to recover content.
• Visible watermark on free-tier outputs. Removing it requires payment, which leaves a transaction trail. Bad actors don't want transaction trails.

In most US states and across the EU, consensual face swap for personal, creative, or commercial use is legal. Non-consensual sexual deepfakes are criminal almost everywhere (NY, CA, TX, VA, IL, EU AI Act, UK Online Safety Act). Political deepfakes during election windows are restricted in 30+ US states. Voice cloning of real people without consent is illegal under most state-level "right of publicity" laws. See our deeper legal guide for jurisdiction-specific details.

• Personalized greetings — birthday videos with the receiver's face on a celebration scene.
• Content creation — your face in a viral TikTok trend, music video, or movie scene.
• Marketing — A/B testing video creative with different actor faces, customer testimonial reenactments (with consent), personalized retargeting.
• Educational / research — demonstrating how face swap works for AI literacy education, journalism about synthetic media.
• Entertainment — funny videos with friends, family pranks (with consent on both sides).

• Sexual content — caught by the NSFW ensemble at both input and output, blocked unconditionally.
• Impersonation of real people without consent — violates our Terms of Service. You confirm you have the right to use the photo before processing.
• Public figure impersonation for misleading content — violates the EU AI Act and US state laws regardless of our ToS.
• Content involving minors in any sexual or inappropriate context — flagged and blocked.
• Removing the AI-generated metadata — technically possible (you can re-encode the file), but doing so to deceive someone moves the legal liability fully to you.
