3 Free AI Face Swapping Tools - Face Swapper vs Remaker vs Akool

Introduction

In this article, we'll explore how to swap faces using three different AI tools: Face Swapper, Remaker AI, and Akool. We will evaluate each tool's performance, including their unique features and any deficiencies, and provide insights into how to enhance the final output using Photoshop's AI capabilities.

Introduction to AI Face Swapping Tools

Face swapping has become increasingly popular thanks to advancements in AI technology. Today, we’ll look at three different tools that allow users to swap faces in images. The first two tools, Face Swapper and Remaker AI, offer limited free access, while Akool (often pronounced differently) is a paid tool that is widely regarded as offering superior results.

Tool Overview

1. Face Swapper: While not entirely free, Face Swapper provides users with 10 credits upon creating an account, allowing for 10 face swaps. This tool also has a feature for swapping clothes, as discussed in a separate video (link available in the description).

2. Remaker AI: This tool gives users around 30 credits, making it partially free. Users must create an account to access the tool fully.

3. Akool: This is the paid tool among the three, known for delivering the best-quality outputs for face swapping, though it does not offer a free trial.

Face Swapping Process

To demonstrate the face swapping functionality, we used an image of Lionel Messi as the face image and an image of Superman as the target image.

Using Face Swapper

1. Navigate to the Face Swapper website and upload the Messi image as the face image and the Superman image as the target.
2. Click “Start Face Swapping” to generate the result.

Using Remaker AI

1. Visit the Remaker AI website and log into your account.
2. Upload the Superman image first, followed by the Messi image.
3. Adjust any sliders if desired, then initiate the face-swapping process.

Using Akool

1. Similar to the above steps, upload the Superman image as the target, followed by the Messi image as the face.
2. This tool generally offers more refined results but may require a subscription to access without watermarks.

Results Overview

After processing the images, we observed variations in quality among the three tools.

• Face Swapper produced a reasonably good result.
• Remaker AI offered similar but slightly less appealing visual changes.
• Akool delivered a clean and well-integrated output, showcasing Messi’s features effectively.

Despite the varying results, one consistent issue across these tools was their inability to change the hairstyle, resulting in outputs that sometimes looked unrealistic.

Enhancing Results with Photoshop

To address the hairstyle deficiency, we turned to Photoshop beta, which features a generative fill tool that allows users to provide a reference image. By giving Photoshop a headshot of Messi, we could incorporate elements of his hairstyle into our swapped image:

1. Select the hair area in the generated image.
2. Use the generative fill tool and choose the reference image.
3. Apply the changes to retrieve a more realistic output.

Conclusion

In wrapping up, the face swapping tools we explored each have their pros and cons. For serious users, combining these tools with Photoshop can yield impressive and realistic results, especially after adjusting the hair and other facial features post-swap.
