How to Face Swap a Video on Android, Step by Step

What you need to face swap a video on Android

You can face swap a video on Android without a computer or an editing app. ActLike is on Google Play, and the whole job happens on your phone in three choices: a clip, a face and a quality.

• A clip of one person, up to 20 seconds long. Their movement, expressions and lip motion are what the new face will follow.
• A face: a clear, front-facing photo you own or have permission to use, or a text description of an original character.
• Credits, bought inside the app through Google Play. There is no subscription.

How to face swap a video on Android in five steps

1. 1Install ActLike from Google PlaySearch for "ActLike: AI Face Swap Video" or use the Google Play badge on this page. The listing is rated for everyone and contains no ads.
2. 2Add your clipPick a video of one person from your gallery. Keep it under 20 seconds; five to ten seconds is usually plenty and costs fewer credits.
3. 3Add the faceChoose a photo, and the app gives it an instant score for how well it will match before you spend anything. No photo? Describe a character in text instead, which adds 1 credit.
4. 4Pick quality and renderCredit Saver 480p for ideas, Best Quality 720p for the version you share. Turn on Scene Match for cleaner blending. You can leave the app while it renders; a notification tells you when it is done.
5. 5Compare, save and shareCheck the before-and-after view, then save the video to your gallery or share it straight to your favourite apps. Finished videos also stay in History on your device.

What each choice costs

A 10-second video with a photo costs 10 credits at 480p or 21 at 720p with Scene Match. Credits for a failed render are returned automatically. On Google Play, credit items are listed between $3.99 and $17.99; see the pricing page for how far credits go.

Choosing a clip and photo that work

The clip

• One person, with the face visible from the first frame.
• A steady camera and stable light. Phone footage filmed near a window works well.
• Nothing crossing the face: no hands, microphones or hair over it.

The photo

• Sharp and front-facing, with one face in the frame.
• Even light, with no sunglasses or heavy shadows.
• Watch the match score. If it is low, try a brighter photo before rendering rather than after.

Tips specific to Android

Let it render in the background

Rendering takes a few minutes. You do not need to keep the screen on: switch apps and wait for the notification. Make sure notifications are allowed for ActLike so you see it.

Buy and refund through Google Play

Credit purchases go through your Google Play account. If you need a refund for a purchase, request it from your Google Play order history; see Google Play’s refund guidance and our refund policy.

Post vertically

Film your source clip upright if the result is going to Shorts, Reels or TikTok. The output keeps the framing of your clip, so a vertical source gives a vertical result.

Using it responsibly

Only use videos and photos you own or have permission to use, and only use someone’s likeness with their consent. If a result looks wrong or inappropriate, you can report it directly in the app. The full rules are in the acceptable use policy.
