After this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Correctly use the Face Swapping tool to replace faces on images
  • Apply a saved face (from Face Generation or Text-to-Image) to target photos
  • Understand the limitations of the tool and choose proper source images for the most realistic results
  • Build a working pipeline: selecting a face → preparing target images → Face Swap → publishing

What is Face Swapping

Face Swapping is a tool that replaces the face on a selected image with a face you previously created or saved.

This is one of the key steps in creating a consistent AI influencer, because it allows you to keep the same face across all your visuals.

In ZenCreator, Face Swapping:

  • Works with images only
  • Supports batch processing
  • Preserves skin tone, lighting, and facial expression
  • Significantly speeds up content creation without manual retouching

When to Use Face Swapping

Use Face Swapping when:

  • You already have an anchor face from Face Generation
  • You want your influencer's face to remain the same in all scenes
  • You're producing photoshoots, carousel posts, UGC scenes, or series-style content
  • You have ready-made photos but need to replace the face without re-shooting
  • You are working at scale and want to swap faces on dozens or hundreds of images

How the Tool Works (Step-by-Step)

1. Upload your Source Face

Ideally — clear, high-quality, forward-facing or slight ¾ angle.

2. Upload Target Images

These are the photos where you want the face to be replaced.

3. Run Face Swap

ZenCreator replaces the facial structure while preserving lighting, skin tone, and expression.

4. Download the results

If needed, run Upscale afterwards → then publish.

What You Can Control

  • Only the facial structure is replaced. Hair, hairstyle, accessories — are not transferred.

  • If the target face is partially blocked (glasses, hands, phones, fur, hair, masks) → artifacts may appear. Try 1–2 more attempts — results can improve.

  • If no face is detected → generation stops, you will get a warning, and your credits are refunded.

  • If the target face is too small or turned too far → results may be poor or the swap may fail.

Best Practices & Recommendations

  • Use a clean, sharp source face without shadows, glasses, or occlusions.

  • If needed, preprocess the target: Upscale first → then FaceSwap (never the opposite).

  • For uncommon angles, prepare multiple source faces from different viewpoints.

  • For batch work, follow a simple structure: source face → target batch → final set. This makes large workflows easier to manage.
