You can try a face swap on vswp for free with a preview: about 5 seconds of your video at 480p, with a small "vswp.app" mark on it. Uploading a video and finding the people in it are free too. The full video costs Telegram Stars (⭐), your first paid video is 50% off, and the app shows the exact price before you start.
What is free on vswp?
vswp runs in the browser, so a free video face swap online needs no app to install. You pay only when a full video starts; everything before that is free:
- Signing in with Telegram, with no password to create.
- Trends and uploads. Pick a video from Trends, with the people already found, or upload your own clip of 1 to 120 seconds, up to 150 MB.
- The people search. vswp finds the people in the first 30 seconds automatically, usually in a couple of minutes, at no charge.
- Your free preview. A short part of your video, about 5 seconds, at 480p, with the original sound and a small "vswp.app" mark. vswp takes it from where the people you added photos for are on screen. For a very short clip, the preview is shorter: at most half the clip, and never less than 2 seconds.
If the free preview fails, you get the free try back. The number of free previews started per day is limited, so the free preview is sometimes unavailable for a while. The app then says when the next one frees up.
How do you make your free preview?
- Open vswp and sign in with Telegram.
- Pick a video from Trends or upload your own.
- Add a photo for each person you want to replace. Everyone without a photo stays as in the original.
- Press Make the free preview. The app shows the preview as free before you start.
- Watch the preview when it's ready. If you like it, make the full video: your first paid video is 50% off.

What are Telegram Stars?
Telegram Stars (⭐) are Telegram's own currency for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps. vswp prices videos in Stars, shows your balance on the site, and takes top-ups through its bot, @vswpapp_bot.
How do you top up?
- On the site, press the top-up button next to your ⭐ balance, or open @vswpapp_bot in Telegram.
- In the bot, pick a pack of Stars. Bigger packs come with bonus Stars.
- Confirm the payment in Telegram. No Stars yet? You can buy them right there.
- Go back to the site and start your video.
What does the price depend on?
Three things set the price of a render:
- Length. The longer the part, the more it costs. One render covers up to 30 seconds.
- Quality. 480p is cheaper than 720p.
- Number of people. Replacing more people costs more. One video takes up to 6 different photos.
The exact price in ⭐ appears before you press "Create video", so you can adjust the part, quality, or people first. Your first paid video is 50% off.
When do you get Stars back?
Stars are taken from your balance when a render starts. If the render fails or you cancel it, they come back automatically.
A finished video is different: pressing the button again makes a new take, which is a new variation and a new render with its own price. It can fix a weak result but won't copy the last one exactly.
How do invites earn bonus Stars?
Get your personal invite link from the account menu on the site ("Invite a friend") or by sending /invite to the bot. When a friend who joined through your link tops up for the first time, you both get bonus Stars.
Your friend gets a free preview too. Making a video together is an easy reason to invite people: see how to recreate a trend with friends.
How can you spend fewer Stars?
- Use the free preview as your test. See how your photo works on a few seconds of the clip before paying.
- Render only the part you need. Shorter costs less, so trim the clip or pick a shorter part.
- Start at 480p. Switch to 720p once the photos and the clip work. Each render is a new take.
- Replace only the people who matter. Background people can stay as they are.
- Get the photo right the first time. Use a sharp, well-lit photo with the whole face visible. With "Keep the original look" off, clothes and hair come from the photo, so pick one with the outfit you want. See which photos work for an AI video swap.
- Pick an easy clip. Covered faces, very fast camera moves, and crowded scenes are more likely to need another take. Here's why AI face swap has these limits.
- Buy a bigger pack if you plan several videos. Bigger packs come with bonus Stars.
