  • Lip syncFor characters that talk to camera

Three steps. No reshoot.

If you can post a story, you can do this.

  1. 1

    Upload your video

    A person on camera works best. Up to 2 minutes, in MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV.

  2. 2

    Add one image of your character

    A mascot, a cartoon or an AI influencer. One clear JPG, PNG or WebP is enough.

  3. 3

    Get your video back

    Your character takes the person's place. Everything else stays. Ready in a few minutes.

Real output

It moves like a person because a person moved.

Characters animated from scratch look stiff. A character swap starts from real footage, so every head turn and hand gesture is real.

Every clip here is real character swap output. The rooms, the camera moves and the gestures come from the original videos. Each character came from one image.

Swap my character
  • Podcast clip, new host
  • A cat mascot in armor
  • Reaction clip on the couch
  • Same moves, dog included

One shoot. As many characters as you want.

Example mascot: a red panda with headphones

Brand mascots that talk

Film a teammate once. Post it as your mascot. No animation studio, no 3D artist.

Example character: a cartoon mechanic in a car

Faceless content from real footage

Record yourself and post as a character. You keep the real energy without ever showing your face.

Example character: an older woman in her kitchen
Example character: a tabby cat podcast host
Example character: a lifestyle creator on a rooftop

Test more faces without reshooting

Swap different characters into one UGC clip. Run them as ad variations and keep the one that wins.

Example AI influencer: a woman taking a selfie at an airport

AI influencer videos with real movement

Act out the scene yourself, then swap in your AI influencer. The body language is real because it is yours.

You decide what changes.

Swap the whole clip or only part of it. Keep the voice or give your character a new one.

Swap my character
  • Keep parts of the original

    Mark any moment you want left alone, like a product close-up. The rest gets swapped.

  • New voice, if you want one

    The original audio stays by default. Turn on voice change to give your character its own voice.

  • Lip sync for talking clips

    Turn it on and the mouth follows the words.

  • 720p or 1080p

    Pick the quality you need. Then download it or post it from VidGuy.

AI character swap questions

What is AI character swap?

You give it a video of a person and one image of a character. It replaces the person with your character and keeps everything else: the movement, the timing, the background and the audio. It looks like the character was filmed in that scene.

What do I need to get started?

A video of a person, up to 2 minutes and 2 GB, in MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV. Plus one clear image of your character as a JPG, PNG or WebP. A person facing the camera works best.

How long can the video be?

Up to 2 minutes. You can also mark parts of the clip to keep as the original, so only the parts you pick get swapped.

Does it keep the original voice?

Yes. The original audio stays on the video. If your character needs a different voice, turn on voice change and it gets a new one.

Can the character lip sync?

Yes. Turn on lip sync and the mouth follows the words. It is made for short talking clips: each swapped part can be up to 14 seconds long.

How long does a swap take?

Most swaps are ready in a few minutes. Longer clips take a bit more time.

What quality is the finished video?

You pick 720p or 1080p. Then download it or post it from VidGuy.

Can I swap in a real person?

Only with their permission. Use characters you own or have the rights to, like your mascot, your AI influencer or an original design. Putting a real person's face in a video without consent can break the law and platform rules.

Film it once. Post it as your character.

Drop in a clip and one image. Watch your character move in a few minutes.
