# How does Video Swap work?

> [Video Swap](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap) puts the person, the pet or the object from your photo into your clip, and keeps the moves, the camera and the sound of the clip.

## Swap a video

1. Open [Video Swap](https://www.makeviral.ai/swap).
2. Pick what to swap: you, two people, a pet, or an object.
3. Add your clip. It must be 4 to 30 seconds long and up to 200 MB.
4. Add the photo (for two people: the left person and the right person). For an object, type the word for it.
5. Pick 720p or 480p, then tap **Swap it**. The button shows the price in credits.

## Good to know

- Use only clips you may use, and only faces of people who agreed.
- Clips above 720p are converted to 720p.
- If the swap fails, its credits come back by themselves.
