What's the Difference between Head Swap & Face Swap?

For those looking to replace an entire head—including the face shape and hair—a headswap app is the way to go.

Most photo editing apps with a cutout feature can provide decent results, but the quality depends heavily on how effective their cutout tool is. Without a strong cutout feature, the head swap might look unnatural, especially when it comes to hair.

On the other hand, Face Swap apps only replace your face with someone else's. They essentially insert your face into an existing photo without altering the rest of the image. 

We already know some face swap apps that can pull this off without any manual editing. For example, YouCam Perfect can easily swap your face with another by using AI Face Swap feature, with 0 editing skill needed.
