Best Face Swap Apps for iPhone (2026)

What we actually use and recommend.

There are roughly 20 face-swap apps on the App Store as of mid-2026, but only five do the job well enough to be worth your time. This is a hands-on ranking — written by the team behind AnyFace, so take the AnyFace section with the obvious bias, but the rest is honest.

Every app on this list works. The choice is about workflow fit (mobile-only vs cross-platform, credits vs subscription, focused vs suite) rather than capability gaps.

1. AnyFace

Mobile-native iOS face-swap with credit-pack pricing. No subscription, no watermark, HD included with every credit, on-device face library. Best for users who want a focused, fast tool without the subscription trap.

  • Strengths: workflow speed, custom targets, on-device face library, transparent pricing
  • Weaknesses: no pre-made templates (you bring the target), iOS only

2. Reface

The viral-template heavyweight. Hundreds of pre-built scene templates (the famous-musician-singing-your-face, the celebrity-dance, the meme-of-the-week). Subscription-based at $7.99/week or $39.99/year. Best for users chasing TikTok trends.

  • Strengths: pre-built templates, video output, large library of meme references
  • Weaknesses: subscription model, weaker on custom targets, photo ToS allows broader data use

3. FaceMagic

Free-tier-anchored app with daily limits and watermarks. Pro tier unlocks unlimited and removes watermarks. Best for casual users who do one swap per day and don't mind the watermark.

  • Strengths: meaningful free tier, established userbase
  • Weaknesses: watermarks on free, no per-credit option

4. DeepSwap

Web-first multi-platform face-swap tool. Better than mobile apps for batch jobs and longer videos. Subscription pricing. Best for desktop workflows.

  • Strengths: batch jobs, longer videos, 4K on top tier
  • Weaknesses: web-based (mobile workflow is painful), subscription only

5. Remaker AI

Multi-tool AI photo suite (face-swap is one of several features). Convenient if you also want background removal and image upscaling.

  • Strengths: multi-tool suite, decent face-swap quality
  • Weaknesses: each individual tool weaker than a focused app, subscription-based

Picking by use case

Casual swap for fun: AnyFace 10-pack or FaceMagic free tier.

Frequent swap, TikTok trends: Reface annual.

Project / batch work: DeepSwap.

Multi-tool needs (BG remove, upscale, swap): Remaker.

FAQ

Q1Why is AnyFace ranked first if you wrote this?

Honest bias disclosed. The ranking criteria are documented — focused workflow, transparent pricing, mobile-native, on-device library. AnyFace is built around those values, so it ranks first under them. Other rankings using different criteria would weight Reface or DeepSwap higher.

Q2Should I install multiple?

Many users do. Free trials are free — try AnyFace and Reface, pick one as your primary, install the second only when the primary doesn't fit a specific need.
