What is image character swap?

An image character swap replaces a whole character using a separate reference. It differs from face swap: clothing, body silhouette and other defining features are part of the replacement. Upload the target scene first and the replacement character second, then describe which subject should change if the scene contains several people.

Keep the two roles clear

The target supplies the scene and pose; the second image supplies the replacement identity and outfit. A clean, unobstructed full-body reference helps when the target includes the entire figure.

Use direction for crowded scenes

Name the intended position, such as the person on the left. Ask to retain the other subjects. Generative edits can still change nearby details, so check every person rather than only the new character.

Review continuity

Check face, clothing, accessories, hands and contact shadows. A result that works as a single picture may need another review before becoming a frame in a longer visual story.

Replace the person in the center with the reference character. Keep the walking pose, full-body framing, warm evening light and background unchanged.

Image Character Swap: questions answered

Is this the same as face swap?

No. Character swap aims to replace the complete character, including outfit and silhouette. Face swap focuses on the face while preserving the original body and clothes.

Can I use illustrated characters?

You can provide illustrations or stylized references. Style and identity preservation depend on the inputs; inspect the result rather than assuming exact reproduction.

Can I replace one person in a group?

Describe the person’s position clearly. This is instruction-guided selection, not automatic identity tracking; inspect the other people for unintended edits.

How much does it cost?
