AI Face Swap for Memes: Best Ways to Make Hilarious Swaps

We all wish to meme, but some of us need an additional kick-up or bottoms to make something worthwhile. You would think that making a funny little image good is easy enough with Face Swap. After all, the presence of a human face that might be familiar to someone is half of the funny factor. But it doesn't always work. Why? Well, no one knows what makes a meme funny, except that it's a bunch of context and absurdity that eventually fry a person's brain enough to make it funny. You can't cook up a recepie that makes a good meme 10/10 times without fail, but you can understand small details that make something stand out; and how they should be used and leveraged when making a compact meme file before inevitably unleashing it onto the wider web and feeding the beast.

What You Need

Before you get anywhere, you need to have some basic materials on hand. Don't worry if you don't have everything ready, as you can grab them in the meantime, or you can roll out without some parts. Those parts are:

-  Idea: A vision for the meme. As much as memes are agents of chaos and oddness, the main purpose of a meem is to convey information, a set of data or knowledge that all comes together to create something that works. So, before you get to face-swapping, you need to know what your end goal for it is. You can't just randomly do something, but then again, that also might work if the stars align right.

-  Existing Meme Format: The most recognizable memes around the interwebs are the meme templates, such as the scene from Despicable Me with or from Star Wars. Meme templates are like a premade page with boxes you need to check off. Following it already solves the problem of recognition, but you will still need an idea of what you want to tell with the template. Templates aren't carved from stone, either, and it's very common to see users changing and editing them to suit the story or message. This makes meem templates a perfect starting point for Face Swap applications.

-  Know Your Community: Memes thrive inside the collective subconscious minds of the people who are exposed to them. Sometimes, these memes cross community borders and infect the wider internet, but most of the time, they don't leave the community. This means that each group has a set of ideas and common expressions that resonate strongly within it, while other expressions will only evoke confusion or fall flat into apathy. So, if you have a meme, make sure that it fits into the community you plan to share it with. You can use faces of characters that are well-known, for example, which will drive up the engagement.

Memes With Charisma

Aside from relying on the basic formats and ideas, you can create a free meme or something that has the potential to become a meme. You are no doubt familiar with the math woman. It used to be a clip from a series, but then someone added some math nonsense into the frame and made history. The same applies to the simple addition of "It ain't much, but it's honest work" over an image of a humble farmer. It doesn't even have to be any addition, and it could be just a striking image, such as with the Success Kid. With Face Swap, you can easily create something that kicks off a chain that eventually results in a viral, long-lasting meme. What that addition could be is not clear, but we have some suggestions that could work.

- Weird Geometric Face Swaps: This will need some editing skills on your part, mainly revolving around cutting and positioning some images. If you can find an AI face Swap that can handle weird shapes aside from the simple face as a base, you could get weird results that look creepy, uncanny, or downright bizarre. The best apps for this we can think of are the ones that swap your face with animals. Now, all you need to do here is find the one you think is good and cut it out of the frame for later use. You will probably need to insert some relatable or strange text into the image to tie it all together, but with some posing, you should get a striking final product.

- Exhagerrated Faces: What's the most common Face Swap expression? It's the classical smile or neutral face. It's so common that it becomes boring. Memes are driven by passion and strangeness. Instead of making the same old, softly smiling face, you should push your facial muscles to the maximum by stretching your cheek, lips, and more. You don't necessarily have to pose. If you ever saw a strange still shot of you talking or laughing, you probably noticed how strange it looks. This is all good, and it's exactly what makes your face look better in the final result. Better yet, you can blend strange faces into objects like the sun (a play on the smiling sun) or the moon (that one moon emoji) and let them roll.

Go And Be Smart

The only piece of information you need to make a meem is how to use the Face Swap tools, which is not difficult at all. The final quality of the result depends on you, on the community, and on the mercy of the algorithm. We are by no means meme gods, but we have been around long enough to know some of the most common measures of a good meme.

If the public display of your work doesn't yield much result, you can always stick to your family and friend group chats. Or worse, you can confine yourself to Facebook and alter minion memes. Face Swap and Deepfake tech is nothing but software for editing images and video clips. You hold all teh power, so go out there and share that crucial piece of information with the world!
