Price

Option	Credits (per second of output)	US dollars
`Default`	3.9	$0.039

Parameters

Field	Type	Default	Allowed	What it does
`video_url`Required	`string`	—	—	Target video. The face of the person in this clip is the one that gets replaced.
`reference_image_url`Required	`string`	—	—	Reference face image. The facial features from this image are carried onto the person in the video.
`face_mapping`Optional	`array<object>`	—	up to 10 items	Multi-person swap: which face in the reference image goes onto which face in the target, one entry per face. Faces are numbered from 0 in detection order. Leave it out to swap a single face.
`face_enhance`Optional	`boolean`	`false`	—	Run a face-enhancement pass on the swapped face for a sharper, more detailed result.
`style`Optional	`string`	`realistic`	realistic, beautify, lossless	Finish applied to the swapped face: realistic keeps natural skin tone and texture, beautify smooths and brightens the skin, lossless holds on to the most facial detail.

Example request

This request runs as it is; any field you leave out uses its default. Put your key in POPNOW_API_KEY first.

The example uses PopNow sample files in reference_image_url, video_url. Replace them with your own public HTTPS links, uploads or saved assets.
