AI face swap, right inside Telegram.

What an AI face swap actually is

An AI face swap is a short video in which a model has detected a face in a target clip and replaced it with a different face — yours, sent in as a selfie — while preserving the original expression, lighting, head angle, and motion. The result reads as a single continuous shot, not a composite. Standin's target clips are cinematic scenes (action, music video, sci-fi, etc.) so the swap lands in something worth watching, not a meme you've already seen a thousand times.

How it works

1. Open @standinmebot in Telegram and tap Start.
2. Tap /render and pick a scene from the list (action, rockstar, astronaut, and more shipping every few weeks).
3. Send a clear, well-lit selfie — face the camera, no sunglasses, no hat brim shadow.
4. Get the face-swapped clip back in about 2 minutes. Forward it anywhere.

What makes Standin different

• No app install. You already have Telegram. The whole thing runs in the chat — open the bot, send a selfie, get a video back.
• No signup, no account, no email. The bot uses your Telegram identity. You don't create a password anywhere.
• Pay per clip, not per month. First render free. Paid from $9 when you want no watermark and longer clips. No subscription.
• Consent-first by design. Every render is logged. Free renders carry a visible watermark. Published takedown SLA — 24-hour ack, 72-hour removal. See Trust & Safety.
• Cinematic targets, not meme templates. Standin ships a curated set of scenes built for the format — action, music video, sci-fi. New ones ship to the bot every couple of weeks.

Selfie tips that actually matter

• Even lighting. Face a window or a lamp. Harsh side-light or backlight confuses the model.
• No sunglasses, no hat brim. Anything covering the eyes or casting a hard shadow across the brow makes the swap fall apart.
• Look at the camera, not the selfie screen. The model's trained on front-facing angles; the slight down-tilt of a selfie-screen shot doesn't help.
• One face in the frame. Group selfies work less well. Send a single-person shot for the cleanest result.

Common questions

What is an AI face swap?

A video or photo in which a model has detected one face and replaced it with another, while preserving expression, lighting, and head angle. Standin does this on video — your selfie is the source, a cinematic scene is the target, the output is a short clip in about 2 minutes.

How long does it take?

About 2 minutes from the time you send the selfie. The first render is free (watermarked); paid renders from $9 remove the watermark.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Standin runs inside Telegram. Open @standinmebot, send a selfie, get a clip back. No new app, no signup, no upload website.

Is it safe?

Standin is consent-first: every render is logged, free renders carry a watermark, and there's a 24-hour ack / 72-hour removal takedown SLA. Full details on the Trust & Safety page.

Can I use the result commercially?

Yes, as long as you have the rights to the underlying source clip and consent from every face in the output. Post it on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or any monetized channel.
