Pixlr Face Swap
Swaps a face into another photo, with a template library so you do not need a target picture of your own.
Overview
Pixlr Face Swap puts one face into another photo. You upload the face and the target picture, and it does the swap. Hundreds of ready-made target images are built in. Pixlr states it works on human images only, not animals.
It sits inside Pixlr, a suite of online editors. It runs in a browser, in a version you install from the browser, and in iPhone and Android apps. Each swap costs 2 AI credits, and the run button shows that cost. Credits come with a Pixlr subscription or with the 7-day trial. An account with no credits cannot run a swap.
Key features
When to use
Use Pixlr Face Swap if:
- You have a face but no picture to put it in. The template library is hundreds of ready-made targets.
- You do have a target photo of your own, which you upload in place of a template.
- You want to know the cost before you run it, since the button prints the credit price of a swap.
- You already use Pixlr, since this runs from the same account and the same credit balance as the rest of the suite.
- You want it on a computer or a phone, since Pixlr runs in the browser and in its phone apps.
When NOT to use
Skip Pixlr Face Swap if any of these describe you:
- You want to swap a face onto a pet. Pixlr states it works on human images only.
- You want to do this without paying. Every swap costs AI credits, and Pixlr's only published free credits come with its 7-day trial. AIFaceswap swaps photos free without a login, and it does not watermark the result.
- You have a lot of swaps to do, since each one spends credits from the same balance as Pixlr's other AI tools.
- You want an app with your photos already in it. Reface is built as a phone app first.
Frequently asked questions
No. Pixlr has hundreds of built-in templates to use as the target, so you can supply only a face and choose a picture to put it in. Most swap tools ask for both images and leave you to find the second one. If you do have your own target photo, you can upload that instead.
No. A face swap costs 2 AI credits, and the run button shows the cost before you use it. The only free credits Pixlr publishes come with its 7-day trial, which grants 250 AI credits. An account that has no credits left will not run a swap. Paid plans are subscriptions, and each one includes a credit allowance.
Yes. The tool asks you to sign in before it will run a swap, and the swap is charged against your account's AI credits. The same account and balance cover Pixlr's other AI tools, so credits spent here are gone from those.
No. Pixlr states the face swap works on human images only, so it will not swap between an animal and a person.
You click the finished image to save it, and it downloads as a PNG file.
