Create your account

Head to facecast.org and click Sign Up. Enter your email and create a password, or sign up with Google for instant access.

Try the 5-minute free trial

Every new account starts with a 5-minute free trial — no credit card. Output is watermarked at 720p. After the trial, you can pick a Day Pass ($7.99 for 24h) or subscribe (Pro Monthly $19.99 / Pro Annual $179) from the in-app pricing modal.

Tip: Use the trial to test camera framing and lighting on your actual setup before paying.

Open the live face-swap page

Click "Try it free" on the home page or go to facecast.org/faceswap. Allow camera access when prompted — the swap runs entirely in the cloud, no local GPU required.

Pick a face

Choose a default preset (Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Einstein, Frida Kahlo, JFK — all public-domain or CC-licensed) or upload your own portrait. The swap follows your head movements in real time.

Tip: Faces with frontal pose, even lighting, and a clear jawline produce the cleanest swap. Avoid heavy shadows on the source photo.

Use it in any app

The swapped video plays in your browser tab. To pipe it into Zoom, Meet, Teams, OBS, or any video app, install OBS Studio (free) and use Window Capture on the browser tab — that exposes the swap as a virtual camera.
