The swap page opens ready for it: add the clip and the photo, then tap Generate. - [Put yourself in](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=you): The main person becomes you. You add: a clip and 1 clear photo of you. - [Swap 2 people](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=two): Both people, each from their own photo. You add: a clip with 2 people and 2 photos, the left person first. - [Swap your pet](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=pet): The animal becomes your pet. You add: a clip with an animal and 1 photo of your pet. - [Swap an object](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=object): One thing, such as a car, a bottle or a bag. You add: a clip and 1 photo of the new object. Or skip the clip: viral swaps with the trend clip built in: [Storm](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/storm-ai-trend), [Closed on Sunday](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/closed-on-sunday-ai-trend), [Crazy Frog](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/crazy-frog-ai-trend). [Advanced: the full studio](https://www.makeviral.ai/create?idea=video-swap): Read and change the prompt, swap only the outfit, or add up to 9 photos. ## Which one should you buy? ### Choose Higgsfield Genjutsu if - You need 1080p or many references. The Genjutsu generator offers 480p, 720p and 1080p, and takes up to 30 reference images. MakeViral swaps at 480p or 720p, with up to 9 photos. - You want presets and a community library. Higgsfield's blog lists 30+ presets, the generator has a Motion Library of community clips with a Recreate button, and Higgsfield says its community has over 25 million users. - You want a fast, cheap mode for short trends. Genjutsu Lite takes clips of 4 to 15 seconds and up to 10 images, at 720p or 1080p. Higgsfield calls it faster and cheaper. - You already make everything else on Higgsfield. The same plan covers its image Face Swap and Character Swap (about 2 credits an image), studios such as Cinema Studio and Lipsync Studio, and many video models. Plus and Ultra also include 2 free Genjutsu generations a month at 720p. - You swap many clips on a plan. Per clip, Genjutsu costs less: Higgsfield's own blog lists 104 credits, about $5.20, for a 15-second clip at 720p, and 40 credits, about $2.00, at 480p. The same 15 seconds on MakeViral is 228 credits at 720p, about $16.28 on the $49.99 plan. ### Choose MakeViral if - You do not want a subscription. A one-time pack is $9.99 for 100 credits, enough for a 5-second swap at 720p or a 10-second swap at 480p. Higgsfield's plans start at $15 a month, its top individual plan (Ultra with 9,000 credits) is $375 a month, and we saw no one-time pack on its pricing page. - You want the clip's own sound on the result. A MakeViral swap starts with the clip's sound on, so the audio of your clip goes back on the new video. Higgsfield's Genjutsu pages do not say what happens to the sound. - You want it simple. The swap page has four choices: you, 2 people, your pet or an object. Add the clip and the photo, check the credits and tap Generate. A tested prompt is written for you, and the full studio lets you read and change it. - You want the viral swap trends ready to go. Storm, Closed on Sunday and Crazy Frog each have a template page with the trend clip built in. You add only your photos, and the price shows before you tap. - You film on a phone. A 1080p or 4K clip is made 720p for you after the upload, with the same frame and sound, before you pay anything. - You want the refund rules in writing. A video that fails gives its credits back by itself, and a purchase with no credits used can be refunded in full within 14 days. ## MakeViral vs Higgsfield Genjutsu | Feature | Higgsfield Genjutsu | MakeViral | | --- | --- | --- | | Smallest purchase | Starter, $15 a month for 200 credits | A $9.99 one-time pack of 100 credits | | Subscription | Plans from $15 a month; the top individual plan, Ultra with 9,000 credits, is $375 a month; we saw no one-time pack | Not needed; one-time packs from $9.99, or plans from $9.99 a week | | Sound | Not listed | The clip's own sound by default, or none (new AI sound in the full studio) | | What it does | Motion Transfer (a new cast, place or look on the clip's motion) and Object Swap (one character, outfit, product, location or object) | Swaps the main person, 2 people, a pet or an object into your clip and keeps the place, moves and camera; or your own prompt | | Inputs | 1 video of 4 to 30 seconds and up to 30 reference images (Lite: 4 to 15 seconds, up to 10 images) | 1 clip of 4 to 30 seconds, up to 200 MB (a 1080p or 4K clip is made 720p for you), plus up to 9 photos | | Result length | Not listed; priced by length | As long as your clip | | Resolution | 480p, 720p or 1080p (Lite: 720p or 1080p) | 480p or 720p, 720p by default | | Pets | Yes; the Objects swap example prompt replaces a man with a cat | Yes; a ready "Swap your pet" choice on the swap page | | Objects | Yes, with Object Swap | Yes; a ready "Swap an object" choice on the swap page | | Several people | Not listed; up to 30 reference images | 2 people in a ready swap, each from their own photo | | Trend templates | A Motion Library of community clips with Recreate, and 30+ presets | 160+ trend templates; swap ones such as Storm and Crazy Frog have the trend clip built in | | Price for a 10-second clip | Not listed | 68 credits at 480p, 152 at 720p (about $4.86 and $10.85 on the $49.99 plan) | | Price for a 15-second clip at 720p | 104 credits, about $5.20 (Higgsfield blog) | 228 credits, about $16.28 on the $49.99 plan | | Price for a 15-second clip at 480p | 40 credits, about $2.00 (Higgsfield blog) | 103 credits, about $7.36 on the $49.99 plan | | Price shown before you generate | Yes; each run shows its credit cost | Yes; on the Generate button | | Included generations | 2 Genjutsu generations a month at 720p on Plus and Ultra (3 billed annually); none listed on Starter | None; new accounts start with 0 credits | | API | Yes; $0.318, $0.681 or $1.632 per input second at 480p, 720p or 1080p, before discounts | Yes; a REST API and an MCP server, see /developers | | Who owns the result | You; yours to publish on organic and paid channels, subject to Higgsfield's Terms of Use | You; the terms say you own the videos you generate | ## What each one costs - **Higgsfield Genjutsu:** Plans, monthly: Starter $15 for 200 credits (no free Genjutsu generations listed), Plus $49 for 1,000 credits and Ultra $129 for 3,000 credits ($250 for 6,000, $375 for 9,000), each with 2 free Genjutsu generations at 720p.

We say where they win, not only where we win. When they change their product or their pricing, we update this page and move the date. ## What is Higgsfield Genjutsu? Genjutsu is the video swap tool of Higgsfield, the AI creative platform. Higgsfield announced it on its blog on August 31, 2026. In October 2026 it turned into a TikTok trend under #higgsfieldgenjutsu. It has two modes. In Higgsfield's own words, Motion Transfer "keeps the motion, camera and timing while rebuilding the scene from your references". Object Swap "changes a selected character, outfit, product, location or object while preserving the rest of the original shot". What we read in the generator on October 21, 2026: | Setting | Genjutsu | Genjutsu Lite | |---|---|---| | Reference video | 4 to 30 seconds | 4 to 15 seconds | | Reference images | Up to 30 | Up to 10 | | Quality | 480p, 720p, 1080p | 720p, 1080p | | Prompt | Optional | Optional | Higgsfield's blog adds 30+ presets, so a run can work with no prompt at all. Its FAQ says the result is yours to publish, subject to its Terms of Use. We found nothing on any Genjutsu page about the sound of the result, or about a top number of people. Many of the big posts in the trend put famous people into clips, or people into film scenes. We do not suggest that on either tool. Put yourself, friends who agreed, or your pet into clips you may use. ## What is the difference between Higgsfield Genjutsu and MakeViral? Both do the same core job: a clip goes in, the moves and the camera stay, and the people, a pet or an object change. The difference is around that job. Higgsfield is a large creative platform, and Genjutsu is one tool in it, with more settings: 1080p, up to 30 reference images, presets, a Lite mode and a community Motion Library. You pay for it with a monthly or yearly plan. MakeViral is made for the swap itself. [The swap page](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap) asks what you swap (you, 2 people, your pet or an object), then for the clip and the photo. A tested prompt does the rest. The result is as long as your clip, at 720p, and it keeps the clip's own sound. You can pay once, from $9.99, with no subscription. So the split is simple. Pick Genjutsu for 1080p and the biggest set of controls. Pick MakeViral for a simple swap, the clip's own sound, no subscription, and the viral swap trends ready in one tap. The full guide is on [the AI video swap page](https://www.makeviral.ai/tools/ai-video-swap). ## What does Higgsfield Genjutsu cost in October 2026? Read on [higgsfield.ai/pricing](https://higgsfield.ai/pricing) on October 21, 2026, with the Monthly toggle and then the Annual toggle. Prices exclude VAT and local taxes. | Higgsfield plan | Monthly | Billed annually | Credits a month | Genjutsu | |---|---|---|---|---| | Starter | $15 | $15 a month | 200 | No free generations listed | | Plus | $49 | $39 a month | 1,000 | 720p, 2 free generations (3 annual) | | Ultra, 3,000 credits | $129 | $99 a month | 3,000 | 720p, 2 free generations (3 annual) | | Ultra, 6,000 credits | $250 | Not read | 6,000 | 720p, 2 free generations | | Ultra, 9,000 credits | $375 | Not read | 9,000 | 720p, 2 free generations | | Team | $79 a seat | $65 a seat a month | 1,000 a seat | All features and models | The pricing page does not list Genjutsu in its per-model credit table, and the generator shows no credit number when you are logged out. The FAQ says "each run shows its credit cost before you generate". The only Genjutsu credit prices we found are on [Higgsfield's Genjutsu blog post](https://higgsfield.ai/blog/higgsfield-genjutsu), marked "pricing verified September 2026": | Genjutsu clip | Credits | Higgsfield's price | |---|---|---| | 15 seconds, 480p | 40 | about $2.00 | | 15 seconds, 720p | 104 | about $5.20 | | 15 seconds, 1080p | 144 | about $7.20 | The blog says Motion Transfer and Object Swap cost the same, "priced by length and resolution". It gives no price for 10 seconds. If the price grows in a straight line with length, 10 seconds at 720p would be about 69 credits. That is our arithmetic, not a Higgsfield number. For developers, the [Genjutsu API page](https://open.higgsfield.ai/models/higgsfield/genjutsu/motion-transfer/v1.0/playground) lists $0.318, $0.681 and $1.632 per second of input video at 480p, 720p and 1080p, before discounts. On October 21 it showed a 50% off banner. ## What does the same swap cost on MakeViral? You can start with one $9.99 pack of 100 credits, with no subscription. It covers one 5-second swap at 720p, or one 10-second swap at 480p. Higgsfield's smallest paid plan is $15 a month, and Starter lists no free Genjutsu generations. A swap bills the seconds of your clip plus the seconds of the result. The result is as long as the clip, so a 10-second clip bills 20 seconds. The photos add nothing. These numbers come from the same code that prices the Generate button. | Clip | 480p | 720p | 720p on the $49.99 plan | 720p on the $199.99 plan | |---|---|---|---|---| | 5 s | 34 credits | 76 credits | about $5.43 | about $5.07 | | 10 s | 68 credits | 152 credits | about $10.85 | about $10.13 | | 15 s | 103 credits | 228 credits | about $16.28 | about $15.20 | | 30 s | 205 credits | 456 credits | about $32.56 | about $30.40 | A credit is about $0.071 on the $49.99 plan for 700 credits, and about $0.067 on the $199.99 plan for 3,000. On a plan, Higgsfield's blog prices per clip are lower: both are in the side-by-side table. Two ways to spend less here: trim the clip before you upload it, and test at 480p first. Plans are on [the pricing page](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). ## Where does Higgsfield Genjutsu beat MakeViral? Five real gaps in MakeViral, so you do not find them after you pay. **1080p.** Genjutsu and Genjutsu Lite both offer 1080p. A MakeViral swap is 480p or 720p. **More references.** Up to 30 reference images for characters, products and wardrobe. A MakeViral swap takes up to 9 photos. **Presets and a community library.** 30+ presets, so a run can work with no prompt, and a Motion Library of community clips you can recreate. MakeViral has four ready swaps and its own trend templates. **A whole platform.** Higgsfield also has image Face Swap and Character Swap tools, Cinema Studio, Lipsync Studio, many video models and an API. If you already pay for Higgsfield, Genjutsu is part of what you have. **Price per clip on a plan.** From Higgsfield's own blog numbers, a Genjutsu clip costs about a third of ours at the same length and resolution. What we could not check: the sound of a Genjutsu result, the top number of people it can swap, and whether the result is always as long as the clip. Higgsfield does not state these on its Genjutsu pages. ## How do you swap a clip on MakeViral? Three steps, the same ones whether you come from Genjutsu or not. 1. **Pick what to swap.** [The swap page](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap) has four choices: [you](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=you), [2 people](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=two), [your pet](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=pet) or [an object](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap?mode=object). 2. **Add the clip, then the photo.** The clip is 4 to 30 seconds and up to 200 MB. A 1080p or 4K phone video is made 720p for you after the upload. Then add one clear front photo for each person, pet or object. 3. **Check the price and tap Generate.** You see the credits before you pay. The result keeps the clip's frame, length and sound. Prefer a viral trend with the clip already inside? Try the [Storm AI trend](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/storm-ai-trend), the [Closed on Sunday AI trend](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/closed-on-sunday-ai-trend) or the [Crazy Frog AI trend](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/crazy-frog-ai-trend). You add only photos. The rules are the same as everywhere: use clips you have the right to use, never put a real person's face in a video without their consent, and no photos of a child without the parent. The prompt check blocks sexual content, and [the terms](https://www.makeviral.ai/terms) forbid misleading or deceptive content. Tips for a good result are on [the AI video swap page](https://www.makeviral.ai/tools/ai-video-swap). ## Is Higgsfield Genjutsu worth it in 2026? If you already pay for a Higgsfield plan, Genjutsu is part of what you have, and it is worth a try for 1080p and its large set of controls. Plus and Ultra even include a couple of free Genjutsu generations a month. Two cautions. The pricing page does not list Genjutsu's credit cost, and the only numbers we found are on a blog post from September. Check the cost the generator shows before you run a long clip. And nothing on the Genjutsu pages says what happens to the sound, so test one short clip first if the audio matters. If you do not want a monthly plan, MakeViral is the simpler buy: $9.99 once, the clip's own sound back by default, and the viral swap trends in one tap. Start on [the swap page](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap), read [the AI video swap guide](https://www.makeviral.ai/tools/ai-video-swap), or browse [the trend templates](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates).

Genjutsu is Higgsfield's video swap tool. You upload a clip of 4 to 30 seconds and up to 30 reference images. Motion Transfer keeps the motion, camera and timing and rebuilds the scene from your references. Object Swap changes one character, outfit, product, location or object and keeps the rest of the shot. ### How much does Higgsfield Genjutsu cost? Higgsfield's blog lists 40 credits for 15 seconds at 480p, 104 at 720p and 144 at 1080p, about $2.00, $5.20 and $7.20. Plans on October 21, 2026: Starter $15 a month for 200 credits, Plus $49 for 1,000 and Ultra $129 for 3,000 (up to $375 for 9,000), or $15, $39 and $99 a month billed annually. ### How long can a Genjutsu clip be? The reference video can be 4 to 30 seconds on Genjutsu, and 4 to 15 seconds on Genjutsu Lite. Higgsfield prices a run by length and resolution. On MakeViral a swap clip is also 4 to 30 seconds, and the result is as long as the clip. ### Does Higgsfield Genjutsu keep the original sound? Higgsfield does not say. We found nothing about sound on the Genjutsu page, the generator or the Genjutsu blog post on October 21, 2026, so test one short clip first if the audio matters. MakeViral's swap ideas put the clip's own sound back on the result by default. ### Does Higgsfield include free Genjutsu generations? On some plans. Plus and Ultra include 2 Genjutsu generations a month at 720p, or 3 on annual billing. Starter lists none. MakeViral has no free plan: new accounts start with 0 credits, and the smallest step is a $9.99 one-time pack of 100 credits. ### Is MakeViral cheaper than Higgsfield Genjutsu? To start, yes: a $9.99 one-time pack with no subscription, against Higgsfield plans from $15 a month, up to $375 a month for Ultra with 9,000 credits. Per clip on a plan, no: a 15-second swap at 720p is 228 credits on MakeViral, about $16.28 on the $49.99 plan, against 104 credits, about $5.20, on Higgsfield's blog. ### Can I swap a pet or an object instead of a person? On both. Genjutsu's Object Swap changes a character, outfit, product or object, and its own example prompt replaces a man with a cat. The MakeViral swap page has a ready choice for each: Swap your pet, and Swap an object, where you type what the object is, such as a sneaker or a bag. ### Can I use Higgsfield Genjutsu and MakeViral together? Yes. Use Genjutsu when you need 1080p, many references or the lowest price per clip on a plan. Use MakeViral for a swap with no subscription, the clip's own sound by default, a simple swap page, and viral trends with the clip built in, such as the Storm and Crazy Frog templates. ## Related tools and guides - [AI Video Swap: Put Yourself Into Any Clip](https://www.makeviral.ai/tools/ai-video-swap): Add a clip and a photo.
