How to Swap Faces with Midjourney (Step-by-Step Guide)

Ever imagined what you'd look like as a Renaissance painting, or swapped faces with your favorite celebrity? Midjourney, the AI art generator taking the internet by storm, has opened up a universe of creative possibilities. One of its most captivating features is face swapping using the InsightFaceSwap bot. But how exactly does it work, and what are the best techniques to achieve the most convincing face swaps? Below we have pieced together a detailed tutorial on Midjourney face swap. Join us as we explore the fascinating process and unleash your creativity with ease.

Part 1. Midjourney Face Swap Tutorial

Step 1. Invite Midjourney and InsightFace bot to your server

Create a new Discord server by clicking Add a Server > Click My Own > For me and friends, and go through the setup process.

Invite the Midjourney bot to your new server:

• Going to an existing Midjourney room.
• Right-clicking on the Midjourney bot.
• Selecting "Add to Server".
• Choosing your new server.

Then invite the Insight Face Bot to your Discord server by following the provided link.

After following these steps, your new Discord server will have both the Midjourney bot for generating images and the InsightFace bot for performing face swaps on those images.

Step 2. Register the identity using the /saveid command

In your new Discord server, upload a front-facing, high-resolution photo of a face using the "/saveid" command followed by an ID name. E.g. "/saveid her" to register that face identity with the InsightFace bot.

Step 3. Create a portrait image with Midjourney

Then generate a portrait image using Midjourney's /imagine command.

E.g. 'Cyberpunk long hair girl, close up portrait'

Select and enlarge the desired image for the face swap.

Step 4. Face swap with INSwapper in Midjourney

Right-click on the upscaled image > App > INSwapper.

There you have it! The face swapping process is complete.

Note: After registering your face ID, it will be used as the default for face swapping in MidJourney. To change the default face ID for future swaps, use the command '/setid name'.

Step 5. (Optional) Use locally stored image

In addition to the images created with Midjourney, Insight Face can process and perform the face swaps on locally stored images.

Just enter the ID name using the '/swapid' command and upload your image.

Here is the final look:

Part 2. Upscale and Enhance Your Midjourney Face Swap

The images after face swapping may appear a bit unclear when zoomed in or not large enough for printing and sharing. Additionally, the upscale feature in MidJourney isn't very effective, which is a common issue for other MidJourney users as well. To address this, you can use a dedicated AI image enhancer.
