Face swapping has become a trending activity, allowing people to see how their faces would look in different scenarios, characters, or even combined with other people's features.

With the introduction of AI-based platforms like Midjourney, face swapping is now accessible to almost anyone. Here's a step-by-step guide to performing a face swap on Midjourney using InsightFace.

1. Invite Insight Face Bot to Your Server

You'll need to invite the Insight Face Bot to your server to begin the process.

Once added, the bot should appear in the online list on your server.

Detailed instructions on creating your server can be found here and how to invite MidJourney to your server here.

2. Register the Identity with "/saveid" Command

Upload an image and register the Identity with the command /saveid for subsequent facial replacement and editing.

Front-view, high-quality ID photos without glasses or heavy bangs are preferred.

For example, you could take a photo of Leonardo Decaprio and register it with the id "him".

3. Create a Portrait with Midjourney

Create a portrait using Midjourney and choose one that you like.

Enlarge the selected image with the "U buttons."

4. Utilize the "INSwapper"

Right-click on the image, then select "Apps — INSwapper" from the dropdown menu.

The swapping process is typically completed quickly.

5. Use Locally Stored Images (Optional)

Insight Face can also process locally stored images using the /swapid command.

Hit enter to complete.

Major Commands You'll Need

  Upload an image and register the ID.
