# AI Character Swap

> Swap an entire character into a scene from a reference — posed and lit to match the original shot. Keep a character consistent across frames so a series reads as the same subject.

## Replace the whole subject

Unlike a face-only swap, character swap brings in the full subject — body, styling, and proportions — and fits it to the scene's pose and lighting.

Use a reference to define the character, then place them into new backgrounds and compositions.

## Consistency across a story

Hold a character steady across a sequence of shots for ads, storyboards, or social series.

Send any result into Magic Edit, retouching, or Video Studio, with everything saved to your unified library.

## How to swap a character

1. **Upload the scene** — Add the target image where the character should appear.
2. **Add a character reference** — Provide a reference that defines the subject to bring in.
3. **Generate and continue** — Render the swap, then reuse the character across more shots.

### How is this different from face swap?

Face swap replaces only the face, while character swap brings in the full subject — body, styling, and proportions — and fits it to the scene's pose and lighting for a complete replacement.

### What can I do with the result?

Place the character into new backgrounds, refine with Magic Edit or retouching, or animate in Video Studio — every render saves to your unified library.
