For Halloween, Face Swap AI can put your face into a gothic chapel portrait, a 1940s film noir still or a movie poster with a burning skyline, all from one selfie in a few seconds. It's an easy profile picture for October, a party invitation, or a costume idea you can see before you buy anything.

Here are the looks that work best, plus a trick for previewing a costume on yourself.

Halloween looks to try

  • Gothic Style: black lace gown, a black rose, a moonlit chapel. See it.
  • Film Noir: smoke, venetian-blind shadows, a 1940s mystery. Perfect for a murder-mystery party. See it.
  • Intense Drama: a lone figure under a stage spotlight in a long coat. See it.
  • Cinematic: the villain-or-hero movie poster, city on fire behind you. See it.

Preview a costume on yourself

Found a costume photo you like? Tap Upload your own photo, use a picture of the costume being worn (one you have the right to use), and add your selfie. You'll see roughly how the look suits you before you order anything.

It works best when the person in the costume photo faces the camera and isn't wearing a mask, since the face needs to be visible to be replaced.

Make a Halloween party invitation

  1. Swap the host's face into Film Noir or Gothic Style.
  2. Download the result.
  3. Add the date, time and address in any photo editor or story app.
  4. Send it to the group chat.

Tips for spooky results

  • Don't smile. Gothic and noir portraits use a cool, serious look.
  • Take your selfie in dim light with one strong light source, like a desk lamp to one side.
  • Black-and-white templates hide skin-tone differences, so they're the most realistic.

One starter pack ($2.99 for 15 swaps, no subscription) is plenty to make a profile picture, an invite and a few for friends.

Questions

Can I make a Halloween photo for my whole friend group?

Yes, one swap per person. Ask each friend for a clear selfie and their OK, then swap each face into a template or the same costume photo.

Is there a zombie or monster template?

Not at the moment. The Halloween looks are gothic, film noir and cinematic portraits. You can upload your own spooky photo and swap your face into it instead.
