Example made with AI Head Swap Example · made with RegiAI

AI Head Swap takes the entire head from one photo, including the face, hair and head shape, and places it on the body in a second photo. The body photo keeps its pose, outfit, framing and background, and the AI blends the neck, skin tone and lighting so the join does not show. A swap costs $0.10 and takes about 10 seconds, and signed-in users get one free generation a day.

Head swap is the right choice when hairstyles differ a lot. A regular AI Face Swap keeps the target's hair, so a short-haired face on a long-haired target can look wrong. If you want to keep your own head and borrow a whole outfit and pose, use AI Body Swap instead.

How to use AI Head Swap

  1. 1

    Upload the body photo

  2. 2

    Upload the head photo

    The face and hair from this photo are used. Pick one where the whole head and hairline are visible and not cropped.

  3. 3

Head swap, face swap or body swap?

These three tools sound alike but move different parts of the picture:

  • Face swap replaces only the facial features. The target keeps its hair, ears and head shape. Best when the two people have similar hair. $0.10.
  • Head swap (this tool) replaces the whole head: face, hair and head shape. You choose which photo gives the body. Best when hairstyles or head shapes differ. $0.10.
  • Body swap starts from your photo and puts you into another person's body, pose, outfit and scene. It is the same idea seen from the other side, and is set up for full-body shots. $0.10.

For a group photo with several people to change, use Multiple Face Swap. For moving pictures, see AI Face Swap Video and GIF Face Swap.

How to get a clean neck and hairline

The hardest part of any head swap is where the head meets the body. You can help the AI a lot with the right photos:

  • Match the head angle. If the body photo is turned three-quarters to the left, choose a head photo turned the same way.
  • Match the light. A head lit from the left looks pasted on a body lit from the right. Photos taken outdoors in soft daylight mix well.
  • Show the full head. A head photo cropped at the forehead gives the AI no hair to move.
  • Avoid hats and hoods in the head photo unless you want them in the result.
  • Similar framing. Head swaps look most natural when the head is roughly the same size in both pictures.

If the result is small or soft, run it through the AI Image Upscaler. To tweak the expression afterwards, use the AI Face Editor.

Use it with permission

Only use photos of people who agreed to be edited, and never use a head swap to deceive, harass, impersonate or sexualize anyone, or to make a fake photo look like a real event. RegiAI does not add a watermark, so tell people when an image is edited. Your results stay in My creations for 30 days and can be deleted at any time.

Head swaps are especially easy to misuse because they move a person's whole recognizable head onto a body that is not theirs. Be careful with body photos in swimwear, uniforms or any setting that could embarrass the person, and never put someone's head on a body in a compromising or sexual context. If you are making a gift or a joke, show it to the person first. When in doubt, use your own head, or a head you created with the AI Image Generator.

AI Head Swap FAQ

Still stuck? Contact us.

How much does AI head swap cost?

$0.10 per swap, paid from your RegiAI balance. There is no subscription; you buy credits and pay per use. See pricing.

Can I try head swap for free?

Yes. Every signed-in user gets one free generation a day on tools priced $0.10 or less, and head swap qualifies. It does not stack or roll over.

What is the difference between head swap and face swap?

Face swap only replaces facial features and keeps the target's hair. Head swap moves the face, hair and head shape together, which looks better when hairstyles are very different.

Which photo keeps its body and background?

The first upload, the body photo. The second upload only gives the head, face and hair.

Does it blend skin tone and lighting?

Yes. The AI is instructed to blend the neck and match skin tone and lighting to the body photo. Results are best when both photos have similar light.

How long does it take?

Usually about 10 seconds.

Is there a watermark?

No. RegiAI does not add a watermark to AI results.

Can I head swap in a video?

Not with this tool. For video, AI Face Swap Video swaps the face, and AI Character Replace replaces the whole person.

Can I swap heads with a celebrity photo?

Only use photos you have the right to use and never to impersonate or deceive. Many public figures' images are protected, so a swap you make for private fun may not be something you can publish.

What file formats are supported?

JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10 MB. Convert iPhone HEIC photos with the free HEIC converter.

What if the head swap fails?

The charge is refunded automatically. If it was your free daily generation, you get it back.

Can I use the result commercially?

You can use results under our Terms of Service and the model provider's license, when you hold the rights and consent for both photos.

Can I swap heads between two of my own photos?

Yes. A common use is taking the best head from one shot of a photo session and placing it on a better pose from another shot taken in the same light.

Does head swap keep the body photo's background?

Yes. The body photo keeps its pose, clothing, framing, lighting and background exactly.

Is there an API?

Yes. AI Head Swap is available through the RegiAI API at the same price. See the API docs.
