Which online face swap tool supports GIF, photo, and video?

GIF Face Swap, Magic Hour, and AskAI publish photo, GIF, and video workflows. Compare each mode's input, output, limits, and billing instead of assuming one universal tool.

Quick take
GIF Face Swap, Magic Hour, and AskAI each publish separate photo, GIF, and video face-swap workflows. Their limits and allowances are not necessarily shared in the same way.
GIF Face Swap explicitly uses one credit balance: one credit per GIF or photo, two per group photo, and one or two credits per started video second for Standard or HD.
Support for three media types does not mean one input form, identical output formats, unlimited length, or multi-face mapping in every mode.

Three supported media types still mean three contracts

A photo is a still image, a GIF is a timed animation, and a video has its own container and potentially an audio track. A provider can offer all three while using separate upload pages, limits, settings, and charges. The useful question is whether each mode finishes the job you need, not whether three format names appear together in a slogan.

GIF Face Swap's homepage links separate photo and video workspaces alongside its GIF creator. Magic Hour's GIF page links photo and video face swap, and AskAI's GIF page does the same. These are documented product surfaces, not evidence that we generated and inspected all three media types on each service.

GIF Face Swap publishes a shared credit schedule

The pricing page lists one credit for a GIF, one for a photo, two for a group photo, and one credit per started second for Standard video or two for HD. Video is limited to ten seconds per generation. Batch GIF processing supports up to ten separate files at one credit each. The shared balance can simplify mixed work, but it does not make the media types equally expensive.

For example, three GIFs, two photos, and a four-second Standard video require nine credits under that schedule. The same video in HD raises the total to thirteen. These are arithmetic examples from the published rules, not receipts from test generations. A duration extending into another second is billed according to the started-second rule, so check the selected clip and shown cost.

Magic Hour offers separate media entries and a shared free limit

Magic Hour exposes photo, video, and GIF face-swap entries. Its GIF FAQ states that GIF and video share the same free creation count, and lists a ten-second GIF ceiling with up to 576p output on the free tier. It also distinguishes watermarked free output from paid clean output. Do not assume that trying a video leaves an entirely separate free GIF allowance.

For group animations, its dedicated multiple-face GIF page describes selecting faces and supplying individual replacements. That capability should be checked in the specific mode; a suite's group-photo support alone would not prove group-GIF mapping. We do not publish an exact paid price comparison here because the media contract is the decision this article addresses.

AskAI exposes a GIF workflow with its own settings

AskAI's GIF tool links separate photo and video face-swap pages. Its GIF interface accepts a GIF and a source portrait, exposes frame and quality choices, and says token cost scales with frames and output quality after free daily swaps. Free-account limits are listed as 5 MB and 150 frames, with higher Pro limits. We do not extrapolate those numbers to its photo or video modes.

This is the right way to read a multi-format suite: evaluate each workflow independently before comparing total cost. A GIF token rule cannot be converted into a video-per-second price without the provider's actual rule. Likewise, a photo source accepted in one mode does not establish every target-image format or video codec supported elsewhere.

Check outputs and audio before choosing a single provider

Write down the required deliverable for each job: still image, animated GIF, or video. Then verify the downloaded format, dimensions, animation or duration, and watermark conditions in that mode. For video, explicitly check audio behavior if it matters. The public sources reviewed here do not establish a uniform audio-preservation guarantee across all three providers, so we do not claim one.

GIF cannot carry the same audiovisual experience as a video with sound. If you convert between them, treat it as a separate preparation or delivery step. Do not buy a multi-format plan expecting every mode to export every other format automatically.

When one provider is worth choosing

A shared balance is valuable if you repeatedly use several media types and understand their different charges. It is less important if you only need one GIF. Our recommendation is GIF Face Swap when its explicit shared-credit schedule and short-video limit fit the work; Magic Hour is a candidate when its separate group-GIF mapping is important; AskAI is a candidate when its visible GIF controls fit the task.

Before committing, list one representative job for each format and verify the current conditions. Also distinguish multiple-face photos, different-face group GIFs, and batches of separate files. Those are independent requirements. A provider that checks the GIF, photo, and video boxes may still lack the exact face arrangement you need.

FAQ

Does one subscription mean the same cost for each format?

No. Providers may charge per image, animation, frame, or video second. GIF Face Swap publishes different rates within one balance.

Does multiple-face photo support include group GIF mapping?

No. Verify that separately. GIF Face Swap explicitly distinguishes its group-photo workflow from multiple identities inside one GIF.
