How to Make a Face Swap Video on iPhone

What you need for a face swap video on iPhone

The ActLike AI App Store listing requires iOS 17 or later. Videos are created inside the app. This website explains the workflow and shows an example; it does not accept your uploads.

• A short clip of one person, no longer than 20 seconds. Choose a steady shot where the face stays visible.
• A clear photo you own or have permission to use, or a description of an original character.
• A credit balance sufficient for the length and quality you choose. Generation is paid; packs are one-time purchases.

Prepare a five-second clip for your first attempt. It keeps the credit cost small and gives you enough movement to inspect the result. Use a clip you can legally reuse, rather than downloading a scene featuring someone who has not agreed to the edit.

Create the video in three steps

1. 1Add the source clipChoose your prepared video. The person in that clip supplies the movement, expression and framing; the character input supplies the new appearance.
2. 2Add a photo or describe a characterUse one bright, front-facing photo. The app checks the photo before generation. For an original character, use a short visual description; text mode adds one credit.
3. 3Choose quality and generatePick Credit Saver 480p or Best Quality 720p. Scene Match adds one credit to fit the character to the scene. Check your credit total before generating; finished creations can be saved to Photos or shared from the app.

A described character is a different creative choice from inserting a specific person. The vampire example demonstrates a text-described transformation. It does not test how accurately the app reproduces a particular uploaded face.

Choose credits for the clip you actually want

US App Store packs range from 5 credits for $1.99 to 500 for $49.99. A 5-credit pack cannot cover a 10-credit job by itself. The dollar value of credits consumed is also different from the amount you pay to buy a whole pack; unused credits remain in your balance. See the full pricing table before choosing.

Review movement before sharing

• Watch the jaw and hairline when the head turns; a good still frame is not the whole result.
• Check the eyes and mouth while the person moves. Facial details in a description may not all carry over.
• Check clothing and the surrounding scene. Character replacement can change more than the face.
• Save the result to Photos, then review the saved video before sharing it.

If a result looks soft, first change the source: brighter light, a less obstructed face or steadier footage. Raising the output to 720p does not guarantee that identity or movement errors disappear. The quality guide explains what the settings change.

A failed generation returns its credits automatically. A completed result that you dislike is a separate case; do not assume every disappointing output qualifies for the same automatic credit return. Purchase refund requests are handled by Apple, as explained in the refund policy.

For another phone, use the Android walkthrough. For an original monster, the Halloween guide offers twelve character descriptions. Use other people’s likenesses only with permission and follow the acceptable use policy.
