How to Face Swap on Android (No App Needed)

Before you start

• An Android phone or tablet with Chrome or Samsung Internet.
• A clear selfie, or good light to take one.
• An internet connection. The swap runs on a server, not on your phone.
• A starter pack or PRO plan. You'll see the options when you make your first swap.

What the studio looks like on Android

The studio has two tools, switched at the top: Face swap for two photos of your own, and Templates for ready-made portraits. Each has a Your face box, the target photo or template, and a Swap faces button pinned to the bottom of the screen, so you never have to scroll back up to find it.

When the swap finishes, the page scrolls to your result with Download, Share and Swap again underneath.

Where your face swap is saved

Download saves the photo to your phone's Downloads folder. Google Photos shows it under Library, in the Download folder, and Samsung Gallery lists it under Albums. You can also open the Files app and look in Downloads.

If you only want to send the photo on, tap Share instead. Android's share sheet opens and you can pick WhatsApp, Instagram, Messages or any other app.

Fixing common face swap problems on Android

• Only your photos open, not the camera. Some phones skip the camera option. Take the selfie with your camera app first, then tap Your face and pick it.
• The sign-in email opened inside the Gmail app. Type the code from the email into the sign-in window instead, or use Continue with Google. Your photos wait in Chrome, so you don't have to add them again.
• The result looks blurry. The selfie was probably soft or small. Retake it in daylight with your face filling more of the frame.
• The face looks pasted on. Your head is turned differently from the template's. Pick a template facing the same way as your selfie.
• You can't find the download. Open the Files app and look in Downloads, or use Share instead of Download.

Templates that work well with a phone selfie

Front-facing portraits with even light are the easiest match for a phone selfie. Good first picks are the smart casual headshot template, the casual dating profile picture template and the royal portrait template.

Put Face Swap AI on your home screen

While you're in the studio, tap Chrome's ⋮ menu and choose Add to Home screen (some versions say Install app). Face Swap AI gets its own icon and opens full screen, straight to the studio.

Want to use your own photo instead of a template? Open Face swap, add the face, then add the picture it should go into. There are more tips in how to swap faces between two photos.
