Why Still-Photo Face Swaps Matter in 2025

  • Mobile-optimized realism. GoEnhance AI’s proprietary face swap model now blends facial features with impressive accuracy, even on smartphones.
  • Consent-ready by default. With new privacy regulations in place, modern tools (including GoEnhance AI) embed metadata to log permissions for ethical and legal compliance.
  • Personalized marketing at scale. E-commerce platforms are now replacing customer faces into product mockups at checkout—turning casual browsers into confident buyers.

Step-by-Step: Face Swap with GoEnhance AI

Before you begin: Log into your account at https://app.goenhance.ai. Free users get 10 image swaps per day.

Step 1: Upload your base photo. You can drag and drop the image or paste a direct link. For best results, use photos that are at least 2000 pixels wide.

Step 2: Add the face you want to use. Click “Add Source Face,” upload a clear frontal selfie, or choose a previously saved face from your library. Make sure the eyes are visible and unobstructed.

Step 3: Click “Generate.” The swap uses GoEnhance AI’s proprietary face swap engine—designed for photo-level precision. It usually takes about 3 seconds to complete.

Step 4: Fine-tune the result using sliders like “Blend Strength.” A setting between 30 and 50 is ideal for subtle edits, while higher values create full-face replacements.

Step 5: Download your final image as PNG, JPG, or transparent PNG. You can also use the “Auto Resize” option to generate platform-ready sizes for Instagram, TikTok, or X (Twitter).

Tips for Better Face Swaps

  • Use a front-facing photo. Side angles greater than 20 degrees can distort facial features like ears and jawlines.
  • Match the lighting temperature. Make sure both the base photo and the source face have similar light tone—e.g., both warm or both cool.
  • Avoid covered foreheads. Hair over the forehead can confuse the model and reduce realism.
  • Get proper consent. Always obtain permission when using real people’s faces. Consider adding a subtle watermark for commercial use.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Face looks unnatural? Try uploading a higher-resolution base image (2000+ px) and reduce the blend strength.
  • Skin tones don’t match? Check that both images use similar lighting or enable the “Color Match” toggle.
  • Glasses don’t align? Use a source face with a similar head angle or enable the “Pose Align” option.

FAQs

Is face-swapping legal?
Yes—if you have clear consent from the person whose face is being used. GoEnhance AI includes metadata logging to document that permission was granted.

Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. GoEnhance AI is mobile-friendly and runs directly in your browser via Safari or Chrome.

Is this the same as a deepfake?
No. Deepfakes involve video frame-by-frame tracking. Face-swapping for still photos is much faster, easier, and doesn’t require heavy computing power.
