What Is Face Swap? How Does Face Swap Work?

[Pamela]

I am constantly hearing about the face-swapping term, and it sounds interesting to me. Could anyone please tell me about it in detail, along with its working process?

Face swap is a technology that digitally switches faces between two people in photos or videos. It works using facial recognition and image processing algorithms to detect key facial features (like eyes, nose, and mouth) and then map one face onto another. Advanced face swap apps or tools use AI and deep learning to make the swaps more realistic by adjusting lighting, angles, and expressions. It's commonly used for fun in social media filters but also has applications in entertainment and special effects.

Face Swap is a digital effect that swaps faces between people in photos/videos using AI.

How It Works:

1. Detects facial features (eyes, mouth).
2. Maps one face onto another.
3. Blends textures/lighting for realism.

Face swap is when you digitally replace one person’s face with another in a photo or video. Apps and AI tools do this by detecting facial features, mapping them, and then blending the swapped face so it looks natural. It’s mostly used for fun, but can also be done in movies or editing work.
