If you've ever checked the main page of some U.S. government sites, you may have noticed a cheeky shoutout to Icons8 in the corner. Icons8 is one of the best resources for visual assets and icons that are aimed to be used by visual designers and casual people in need of inspiration or a library of stylistically consistent icons and set pieces. The site offers some QOL features, such as a background editor and a set of premade stylized body parts to use in creating a storyboard. Most importantly for our review, the site also offers Face Swap AI tools to its users. Since the site is primarily a resource for illustrations, 3D objects, and even music, we will be exploring everything about the Face Swap tools and any additional tools that can be qualified as Face Swap.
The Prime Examples Of Freemium
Icons8 famously boasts about a surprisingly lucrative business model that gives back to the community at large and still pats off. Mainly, you are free to use any of their features, any of the icons (at a maximum of 100 pixels), without a single penny charged. The only catch is that such usages obligate you to provide a link back to Icons8 somewhere on your site, and there is also the act you will need to contact the team if you wish to use anything for commercial purposes as a free user. Each tool on the site will roughly tell you how you can use a product, be it commercially or not, but also read their FAQ just to not get in trouble. With that said, their library is free for the taking and you won't be disappointed.
AI Anonymizer
This can be considered an AI face swap tool in the most loose sense, and it's part of the HeyPhoto pack. This tool, like many others, is free to use, with the exception that you can't monetize it. What it does is protect the user's anonymity without erasing key facial features. It's perfect for casual use in cyberspace, where you might want to upload your image but not to the point of being recognizable in public, as well as in the business world where placing a clear face on your profile is standard practice, but where you still might desire some leeway. This tool works in very direct ways by detecting your face and fumbling with data as if it were melding in a swapped face. The result is very close to the original, but there are enough differences that will make people second guess when they see you in public.
Tune Selfies And Group Photos
Also known as the HeyPhoto tool, you can use this grand collection of small tweaking tools to fix up faces in any photo. Everyone knows that getting a selfie or a group photo is hard as the participants often end up looking in strange places or making an expression that doesn't quite fit into the broader composition. With HeyPhoto, you can change the direction in which the eyes are looking and tweak and adjust expressions and emotions while you're at it. You can even change the look of your nose, apply makeup, change the shape of the entire face, and increase or decrease your age. There are plenty of small features packed into this toolkit, all of which come for free, of course. You can also do the classic hairstyle and gender-swapping tricks as much as you want. It's one of the most versatile Face Swap apps on the site.
Face Swapper
None of these tools can compare to the main centerpiece, which is the Face Swap tool. Designed to be an editing option without the use of Photoshop, it can handle mild head tilts and any surface on a picture. Multiple face swap technology comes built-in, and you don't need to pay any subscription plans to unlock it. The Face Swapper is suitable for changing static memes or mixing faces into already existing art, like the Mona Lisa or Girl With A Pearl Earring. The results from this tool are HD and without blurry lines. Not only can the AI blend two faces together, but you can choose to preserve identity and only swap bodies instead of blending the whole head in. There are no options for video or GIF swaps, so you will be locked to the classical image-swapping technology for the time being.
The Prices And Payments
As we have said, everything on Icons8 can be used for free with some clauses and minor limitations. The images you upload for Face Swapping will be kept on the site only temporarily, and you can clear them anytime. The site only collects data you provide, mostly for processing your payment, but sometimes also to send you emails. You can pay directly with your card, use Google Pay, or through Link. The HeyPhoto pack is 100% to use, but the Face Swap tool has a paid plan that grants you unlimited swapping, 30-day memory, and direct email support. You can cancel your recurring subscription at any time with one click. The price for paid Face Swapper when we checked the site was $19 per month (it used to be $24 monthly). The yearly plan was $8.25 per month or $98 per year, and it granted a three-day free trial.
Our Closing Thoughts
Icons8 is probably the best free SFW site on the market for graphic design and icons, and this also applies in the domains of Free AI Face Swap sites and tools. The benefits the site gives to its free users are immense, and even now, a giant, micro Face Swap tool pack is available for use for completely free. Even the Image Face Swap tool can be used without opening your purse, with some limitations. Choosing to go for a subscription grants you better benefits, and it supports the developers who can continue to provide great free service to you and all other users. Cancelling your membership is a simple task, and we did not encounter any cross-sales while we looked around. Don't be shy, and go visit Icons8 today!
