How to do a gender swap in three steps

One photo, one choice, one result.

  1. 1

    Upload a clear photo of one face

    Use a selfie or portrait where the person looks at the camera. Keep sunglasses, masks and hands away from the face. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.

  2. 2

    Pick the direction

    Choose Opposite Gender, Female or Male. To steer the look, add a note such as long wavy hair or a short beard in the Describe the changes box. The note is added to your request and capped at 500 characters.

  3. 3

    Swap, compare and download

    Press Swap Gender and the result appears beside your original. Check it against the photo, then download it. Your first image is free.

What the gender swap changes in your face

The tool redraws the face so it reads as the other gender: jaw, brow, cheeks, lips and facial hair, plus a hairstyle in your hair color. It aims to keep you recognizable, like a sibling of the other gender, with the same age, expression and head pose.

Clothing style, background, lighting and framing are also meant to stay as they were. Glasses or a head covering should carry over too. It is a generated image, so small details can still shift, and the eyes and hairline are the first places to look.

Read the result before you share it

This is a new picture drawn by an AI model, not an edit of your pixels. Put it next to the original and look at the eyes, the hairline, the teeth and any jewelry.

A gender swap works best on one person with a clear face. Use photos of yourself or of someone who agreed to it. The result is a playful preview, not a statement about anyone's identity. Your photo is only used to create your images and is never used to train AI models.

What people use a gender swap for

A quick look at a different version of a face.

Curiosity

See what you might look like as a man or a woman, just to find out. It takes one upload and one button.

Character reference

Writers and artists can run a gender swap on a face they already have, then see the same character in both versions side by side.

Costume and cosplay planning

Test a gender-bent character before you buy the wig. Add a hairstyle note to preview the cut.

Group chat jokes

Send a friend their swapped selfie and let them react. Ask first if the photo is theirs, and keep it a joke between people who know each other.

Social posts

Post a before and after pair of your own face. The result sits beside the original, so the pair is easy to screenshot and share.

Family resemblance games

Swap a parent or a sibling photo with their permission and compare who looks like whom.

They are meant to stay. The tool aims to keep the pose, framing, lighting and background, but it redraws the picture, so compare the result with your original.

The tool is built around one clear face, so portraits and selfies are the safest input. A full-body photo is a smaller face in the frame, and the face may look less detailed.

The clothing style is meant to stay the same. If you want a different outfit or hairstyle, say so in the Describe the changes box, for example a short beard.

There is no strength slider. Choose Female, Male or Opposite Gender, and describe the look you want in the optional text box, for example a softer or a stronger change.

A clear, well-lit photo of one face looking at the camera, with no sunglasses, mask or hand over it. Photos with several people are not what this tool is made for.

Your photo is only used to create your images and is never used to train AI models. The photo goes to the AI model provider, which keeps the result for a limited time so you can download it.

No. This tool works on a photo you upload, not live on a camera. You get one still image to download, with a choice of direction and an optional note.
