How the AI head swap works
A head swap moves the whole head from one photo onto the body in another: face, hair, hairline and ears, not only the facial features. The body, pose, clothes and background stay as they were, and the new head is matched to their skin tone and light. That is the difference from a face swap, which keeps the old hair around a new face.

The Problem
Professional Model Imagery Is Expensive and Slow
E-commerce brands, content creators, and creative professionals face the same challenge: getting the right face on the right body at the right price.
Expensive Model Photography
Hiring models, booking studios, and coordinating photoshoots costs thousands per session. E-commerce brands need dozens of shots per product line.
Reshoot for Every Market
Different demographics require different model imagery. Running separate photoshoots for each market segment multiplies costs and delays launches.
Slow Turnaround Times
Traditional photography workflows take weeks — scheduling, shooting, retouching, and revisions. Fast fashion and seasonal drops can't wait.
Mannequin Photos Don't Convert
Products on mannequins or flat-lays get lower engagement than on-model shots. But not every brand can afford professional model photography.
Inconsistent Model Imagery
Using different photographers and models across catalog creates visual inconsistency. Brands need standardized imagery without standardized costs.
Creative Compositing Is Manual
Photoshop head-swaps require hours of manual masking, color matching, and edge blending by skilled retouchers. Most results still look "off."
AI Head Swap Changes the Economics of Model Photography
Upload a body shot and a face reference. AI handles alignment, skin tone matching, lighting adaptation, and edge blending in seconds — not hours. From 15 credits per swap, from any browser, on any device. No Photoshop skills needed.
Why Choose Us
Powered by cutting-edge AI technology that delivers unmatched quality and performance
Whole Head, Hair Included
The head is replaced as one piece, so hair, hairline and ears follow your face reference, not only the facial features. Check the hairline and neck seam at full size before you use the result.
Head Angle Matching
Ask the editor to fit the head to the target pose. References with similar angles need less reconstruction; review gaze and head tilt in the output.
Skin Tone Adaptation
Ask the editor to match skin tone and color temperature across the neck seam. Use similarly lit references and inspect the blend at full size.
One-Upload Simplicity
No manual masking, no point selection, no alignment tools. Upload two images, click process, done. AI handles everything.
Cloud-Powered Processing
Nothing to install. Process from any browser on any device. Works on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Commercial Rights Included
Every head swap result includes full commercial licensing. Use in e-commerce catalogs, marketing campaigns, or client work.

Head swap or face swap?
Head Swap vs Face Swap
What each one replaces, and which to use when the hair has to change.
| Feature | Head swap | Face swap |
|---|---|---|
| What is replaced | The whole head: face, hair, hairline, ears and jaw | The facial features only |
| Hair | Comes from the head photo | Stays as it was in the target photo |
| Head shape and ears | Come from the head photo | Stay as they were in the target photo |
| Photos you upload | Body photo + head photo | Target photo + face photo |
| Works best when | The two people have different hair or head shapes | The two heads already look alike |
| Check in the result | Neck seam, hairline and light direction | Face edges and skin tone at the jaw |

Pick Head Swap When the Hair Has to Change
If the two people have different hair, a face swap leaves the old hairline around a new face and the result reads as a mask. A head swap moves the head as one piece. Use it for catalog photography, portrait sets and client projects, and check identity, hair, lighting and the neck seam before approving a result.

A face swap and a head swap are different operations, not better and worse versions of one. The example above is a head swap: the hair in the result comes from the head photo.

Does an AI head swap keep the hair?
Quick Answer:
Yes. A head swap replaces the whole head, so the hair, hairline and ears come from the head photo while the body, pose and background stay. A face swap changes only the facial features and keeps the old hair. Imagera's head swap runs in the browser, 15 credits at 1K, 20 at 2K per image.

What is AI Head Swap?
AI Head Swap An AI head swap replaces the whole head in one photo, hair included, with the head from a second photo, and blends the neck join, skin tone and light so the result reads as one photograph.
Use a head swap when the two people have different hair or head shapes; use a face swap when only the facial features should change.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI head swap for professional use
AI head swap replaces the whole head in one photo, hair included, with the head from a second photo, and keeps the body, pose, clothes and background of the first. Upload the body photo and the head photo, press Generate, then check the hairline, the neck seam and the lighting in the result.
Upload two images: first the body photo (the scene you want to keep), then the head photo (the person whose head goes onto it). The Head Swap button opens Imagera Typeset 3 (Edit) with a working instruction already written: keep the body, pose, clothing, lighting and background of the first image, and replace the head with the person from the second, matching skin tone, light direction and edges. There is no masking or alignment step; edit the instruction only if you want something specific, then press Generate.
Head swap is widely used in: e-commerce product photography (placing model faces on mannequin bodies), corporate headshot standardization, creative compositing for art and design, fashion catalog production, content creation for marketing materials, and family photo corrections. Always ensure you have proper consent for any faces used.
A head swap on Imagera Typeset 3 (Edit), the model the Head Swap button opens, costs 15 credits at 1K, 20 at 2K per image, so ten swaps at the default size is 150 credits. Other edit models in the model picker are priced differently, and the Generate button shows the exact cost before you run. Buy credits as a pay-as-you-go pack that never expires or on a monthly plan for the best rate per credit: credit packs from $39.99, plans from $19.99/mo.
Imagera charges from 15 credits per image, depending on the output size and the model you pick. For a catalog or portrait project, compare outputs using the same source pair, inspect hair and the neck seam, and check current terms and quotes before choosing a tool.
No. Imagera head swap runs entirely in the cloud. Any device with a web browser works — laptops, tablets, even phones. Nothing to install and nothing to download first. Upload two images, get your result.
JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each. Upload the body photo first and the head photo second; a run takes up to 3 pictures. The result downloads as PNG or JPEG at 1K or 2K.
For a client project, evaluate the actual output against your brief: identity, hair, angle, lighting and delivery size. Imagera provides a two-image workflow with engine selection and a credit quote before you generate. Use references you have permission to edit.
Yes. E-commerce is one of the primary use cases. Replace mannequin heads with model faces, standardize your catalog with consistent model imagery, or adapt product shots for different market demographics. AI handles skin tone, lighting, and pose adaptation automatically. Full commercial rights included.
Imagera is designed for legitimate professional use — e-commerce photography, creative compositing, content production, and artistic work. Always ensure you have proper consent to use someone's likeness. Head swap technology is a standard tool in photography studios and production houses. Our terms of service prohibit misuse including non-consensual deepfakes and impersonation.
The selected Imagera engine uses your target and reference photos with instructions to match skin tone, lighting and edges. Results depend on the source pair and settings. Check the full-size output against both originals before approving it for a project.
Currently, Imagera head swap is for still images (photos). For video face work, check our Face Enhancer tool which handles video face enhancement and restoration. Video face swapping is on our product roadmap.
The whole head, hair included. That is the difference between a head swap and a face swap: a face swap maps features onto the head that is already in the photo, so the original hairline, hair and ear shape stay put and the result often reads as a mask. Imagera replaces the entire head — hair, hairline, ears and jaw — then rebuilds the join at the neck and matches skin tone and lighting to the body image. It is the right tool when the two people have different hair, and the wrong one if you only want to change an expression.
A face swap transfers facial features onto an existing head, keeping that head's hair, shape and angle — cheap, fast, and convincing only when the two heads already look alike. A full head swap replaces the head as one object, so hair, skull shape and ear position all come from your face reference. Head replacement also requires the neck join and lighting to fit the target scene. State any hairstyle requirements in the optional instructions and review the completed output.
It runs in the browser on any device, phones included, so there is no head swap app or desktop program to install. Upload the body image and the head image and press Generate. Processing time depends on the model and your source images. Runs are priced per swap in credits, 15 credits at 1K, 20 at 2K, with commercial rights included. You can review completed generations in your history.
Add the photo you want to keep as the first image and a photo of the new head as the second, then press Generate. There is no cut-out or masking step as in a photo editor: the model replaces the head, hair and neck join in one pass and relights them to match the body photo. If something is off, add one line to the instruction, for example "keep the original hair length" or "match the warm indoor light", and run it again for 15 credits.
Nothing, to start: the Sandbox loads a working instruction that keeps the body, pose, clothing, lighting and background of the first image and replaces the head with the person from the second, matching skin tone, light direction and edges. Add a short sentence only for what you want changed, such as the hairstyle to keep, the expression or the direction of the light. Refer to the pictures as the first and second image so the model knows which is the body and which is the head.
