How it works

Upload your photo

Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better head results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Head replacement is complex: 40-60 seconds. May need 2-4 refinements for optimal neck blending and lighting match.
Describe the replacement you need

Type your instruction: 'replace the head to face forward looking at the camera naturally' or 'change the head position to look toward the group.' Be specific about direction, expression, and pose. For groups, identify the person by location or clothing, or use a marker.

Tip: Describe the desired head position explicitly: 'facing camera', 'looking left toward the bride', 'tilted slightly with warm smile.'

Copy one of these to get started:

Head swap from another photo replace the head of the person on the right with the head from the reference photo, blend seamlessly at the neck
Try This →

Use better expression from different shot swap this person's head with the head from the reference image where they have a better expression, match the lighting
Try This →

Person looking away needs to face camera (no reference) replace the head to face directly toward the camera with a natural pleasant expression, match lighting and skin tone
Try This →

Fix turned head in group photo change the head of the person on the right to face forward toward the group, keeping the same person's appearance

Review the blend and match

Check the neck transition carefully—this is where most issues appear. Verify skin tone matches, lighting direction is consistent, and the new head looks natural in context. Check hair edges against the background.
Refine the transition

Head replacements often need refinement, especially at the neck. Tap markers on problem areas and regenerate with specific guidance. This is expected for complex edits like this.

Tip: The neck area is critical. If visible seams appear, use markers on the neck and ask to 'seamlessly blend the neck transition.'

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Creative Compositing

Swap and replace head in photos to create imaginative composites, mashups, and artistic transformations.

Common Scenarios

Replacing head with something completely different for a surreal effect
Swapping head to create a humorous or viral-worthy photo edit
Compositing multiple elements by replacing head with custom alternatives

Best Practices

Be specific about what should replace head — include color, style, and position details
The AI matches lighting automatically, but mentioning 'match the scene lighting' improves realism
For multiple replacements, do them one at a time for the cleanest results

📷

Professional & Commercial

Replace head in commercial photos for marketing, product shots, and client presentations without reshooting.

Common Scenarios

Replacing head in a product photo to show a different variant or model
Swapping head in a marketing image for a different campaign or audience segment
Updating legacy photos by replacing outdated head with current versions

Best Practices

Use reference images when the replacement needs to match a specific look exactly
Verify that lighting, shadows, and proportions look natural after the swap
For product photography, describe materials and colors precisely when replacing head

📷

Personal Photo Editing

Fix or improve personal photos by replacing head with something better — save the shot without retaking it.

Common Scenarios

Replacing a dull or overcast sky (as head) with a dramatic sunset or blue sky
Swapping out head in a photo to fix a mistake or improve composition
Replacing head in an old photo to update or refresh the image

Best Practices

Save the original first — keep the unedited version in case you want to try different replacements
If the replacement doesn't match the first time, describe the desired look in more detail
Natural-looking replacements work best when the new element matches the photo's lighting and perspective

If something looks off

Visible seam or line at the neck

Why: The most common issue with head replacement—the transition between head and body wasn't fully blended.

Try: Tap markers on the neck area and regenerate: seamlessly blend the neck transition, no visible edges

Try This →

Tip: Neck blending almost always needs a refinement pass. This is expected, not a failure.

Skin tone doesn't match the body

Why: The AI generated a head with different coloring than the existing body.

Try: match the skin tone exactly to the rest of the person's visible skin, same lighting and color

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning 'visible skin' helps the AI use the shoulders/hands as color reference.

AI changed the wrong person's head

Why: In group photos, the AI may have selected the wrong person without clear identification.

Try: Tap a marker directly on the head you want replaced, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers are essential for group photos—they eliminate any ambiguity about which head to replace.

New head looks artificial or doesn't belong

Why: The AI may have generated a head that doesn't match the person's identity or the photo's context.

Try: replace the head while preserving the person's identity and natural appearance, match the photo's style

Try This →

Tip: 'Preserve identity' helps maintain who the person is. 'Match the photo's style' ensures consistency.

Hair doesn't blend with background properly

Why: Hair edges are complex and may not have blended cleanly against the background.

Try: Tap markers on the hair edge areas and regenerate: blend the hair naturally against the background

Try This →

Tip: Hair edges are the second most common refinement needed after necks.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the head before describing the replacement?

For single-person photos, no! Just describe the change. For group photos, always either identify the person clearly ('the man in the blue tie on the far right') or tap a marker directly on their head. Head replacement is complex enough that clear targeting is essential for good results.

Is head replacement realistic enough for important photos?

It can be! Head replacement is the most complex edit type and typically requires 2-4 refinement passes for optimal results. Simple cases like turning a head slightly work better than dramatic changes. Plan for some back-and-forth refinement, especially for the neck blend area. Results are often good enough for professional use.

What's the difference between replace face and replace head?

Replace Face modifies features on the same person in the same position—like opening eyes or changing expression. Replace Head changes the entire head including pose and direction. Use face replacement for fixes like closed eyes. Use head replacement when someone is looking entirely the wrong direction.

Can I use a head from a different photo?

The current tool generates an appropriate head based on your description rather than importing from another photo. Describe what you want: 'forward-facing with natural smile' and the AI creates it. This often produces better blending than composite from separate photos.

Why does the neck always need refinement?

The neck is where the new head meets the existing body, making it the natural transition zone. Differences in skin tone, lighting, and the exact boundary all concentrate at this area. Expect to do at least one refinement pass focused specifically on the neck blend. This is normal for head replacement.
