Difference Between Headshot and Face Swap AI Features

Updated Today · 1 min read

AI Headshots and AI Face Swap both transform guest photos, but they solve different event needs.

Use AI Headshots when you want the system to generate a new portrait from a prompt or style. Use AI Face Swap when you want the guest's face placed into pre-designed assets with more control over the final scene.

AI Headshots

AI Headshots uses generative AI to create new portraits from the captured booth photo. It is best when you want variety, artistic output, professional-style portraits, or premium group AI experiences.

Choose AI Headshots for:

  • Corporate headshots
  • Weddings and galas
  • Premium AI activations
  • Creative portraits with varied styles
  • Group photos using the Elite model

AI Face Swap

AI Face Swap uses uploaded or prepared assets and replaces the face in those assets with the guest's face. It is best when the final composition needs to stay consistent across guests.

Choose AI Face Swap for:

  • Branded scenes
  • Character-based activations
  • Themed parties
  • Events where the same output format should repeat
  • Campaigns with strict art direction

Choosing The Right Feature

If the event needs consistency, use AI Face Swap. If the event needs variety and a stronger visual impact, use AI Headshots.

For high-end group portraits, use AI Headshots with the Elite model and test the event lighting before the event.
