How to Put Yourself in Any Viral Video With AI (From One Photo, 2026)

What you need

• The clip, saved on your phone or computer as MP4, MOV or WebM. You own it or have permission to use it.
• A section of 4 to 15 seconds where the person you want to replace is clearly visible.
• One clear, front-facing photo per person you replace (one or two people).
• A monthly plan, a yearly plan or the Mega pack, which include custom templates.

Step by step

1. Open “Your video”. On the generator, sign in and choose “Your video”, the first chip in the template row.
2. Choose the clip. Tap “New template”, then “Choose a video” and pick the MP4, MOV or WebM from your phone or computer.
3. Pick the section. Move Start and Length to the 4–15 seconds you want and press “Play this section” to check it. Then choose one person, or two people (left and right), to replace. The clip is trimmed in your browser before upload.
4. Name it and create. Give the template a name, confirm you own the clip or have permission to use it and press “Create template”. The clip keeps its original sound.
5. Your template is ready. In about a minute it appears in your templates row, shown only in your account. From there it works like any trend template: add your photo, pick 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 and create.

What the result looks like

The clip guides the choreography, camera movement and timing; your photo guides who is in it, from face and hair to outfit. The clip’s own audio is added to the finished video, so it is ready to post. It is a newly generated video rather than a frame-by-frame face swap, so backgrounds and small details can differ from the original, and each result varies.

Clips that work best

• One or two people, fully or half in frame, without heavy crowds in front of them.
• Steady footage. Fast cuts inside the section make the motion harder to follow.
• A section where the person faces the camera at least part of the time.
• Dances, reactions, walk-ins and short skits work better than long dialogue.

Who can use it, and the rules

Custom templates come with monthly and yearly plans and the Mega pack. Your templates and results appear only in your account, never in a public gallery. So the video provider can read it, a silent copy of the clip is kept at an unlisted public link: it is not listed anywhere, but anyone with that exact link could open it, so don’t upload clips that must stay strictly private.

Only upload clips you own or have permission to use. Clips with minors, explicit content or public figures without their consent are not allowed, and you should only use photos of people who agreed to appear.
