Difference Between Headshot and Face Swap AI Features
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.
Quick Comparison
| Area | AI Headshots | AI Face Swap |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Premium portraits, creative themes, group AI output | Branded scenes, character swaps, consistent themed assets |
| Setup time | Low for preset styles; higher for custom prompts | Depends on prepared assets |
| Output variety | High; each result can be different | More controlled and repeatable |
| Creative control | Prompt and model-driven | Asset driven |
| Typical processing | Slower than Face Swap, especially with Elite group mode | Faster for prepared assets |
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.
