Use this interactive demo to learn how to swap faces in HeyGen.

‍

Using face swap in HeyGen allows you to replace a face in a video or avatar with another image while maintaining realistic motion and expressions.

Log in to your HeyGen account and go to your dashboard to access the main workspace.
On the left side panel, click on Tools, then select Face swap from the available tools.
Upload your source images—this is the face you want to use.
Click the Process button to let HeyGen work its magic and swap the faces.
Wait for the swap processing to complete.
Review the final result and download/save/create video with the swapped output if satisfied.

📌 Why this matters

Face swapping lets you create personalized video content without appearing on camera yourself, perfect for maintaining privacy while building a professional presence online. You can use anyone's likeness—with permission—to generate training videos, marketing content, or multilingual presentations where consistency matters more than the actual speaker. This becomes particularly powerful when you need to scale video production across different markets or languages while maintaining a familiar face that your audience trusts, essentially separating your message from your physical presence.
