Choose a face, see the swap in Live, record a clip, then share it. This guide covers the iOS 4.0 workspace and iOS App local creation benefits. Rules for the website, macOS and Discord remain separate.
Download the app from the App Store, sign in and select an available face or add a new one. Initial setup, new face preparation and subscription verification require a connection. The app does not run entirely offline.
Sign in with Apple, Google or Discord, using the Picsi.Ai account that holds your subscription. Check your current plan in Settings. Your App Store purchase account and your Picsi.Ai sign-in account serve different purposes.
Use the account and Discord synchronization help in the app. The Settings entry opens instructions. If your expected plan does not appear, contact support before purchasing again.
Follow the app's help instructions using a Discord account whose email matches the Apple or Google sign-in used for Picsi.Ai. The flow includes signing out and signing back in with Discord. Apple's Hide My Email can prevent the email match. If the addresses differ or benefits do not appear, ask support for help rather than assuming synchronization succeeded.
Sign out if necessary, then sign in with the Discord account that holds your active subscription. Check the plan shown in Settings. If it is not the expected plan, contact support; do not buy a second subscription to resolve a display or account issue.
The main workspace contains Live, Video and VR. Open Classic for Photo and GIF creation. Use My Faces to manage source faces, Library for saved recordings and Settings for account and help options.
Layouts adapt to iPhone and iPad. iPhone Duo uses layouts for its inner and outer displays; folding or unfolding during Live recording ends and saves that clip. Start a new recording after the preview resumes.
Add a clear source photo from your camera or Photos, then select the prepared face for your creation. Reuse an existing available face instead of importing it again as a new face.
Local Live recording, video export and GIF creation are not charged by operation or duration. Preparing a new face and generating a cloud image remain separate services.
iOS App local creation benefits (4.0)
Can I reuse prepared faces, including when I have no credits?
Yes. Already prepared, available faces can be reused for local creations. Even with 0 credits, you can record and export with those faces within the limits of your currently active plan.
Which actions still use credits?
For free and paid accounts, local Live recording, video exports and GIF creation no longer consume credits per operation. Adding new faces and cloud image generation still consume credits according to the server-side rules.
What if I import the same picture again as a new face?
Each new face import is processed independently and charged according to the rules, even when the picture is the same. Reuse an already available face to continue local creation.
Use the controls available in your selected mode. Smoothing can reduce facial jitter and flicker in Live and video. Adjust it to the scene; results depend on the source, movement and device. Photo controls do not imply that the same options or multi-face slots are available in every mode.
Use Choose from Photos in Video or Classic to import your own media. The former iOS template browser, categories, search and template downloads are no longer available. This change does not alter template features on other Picsi.Ai platforms.
Open VR for a dual-eye view of Live Camera or Video.
Headset viewing requires a mobile headset compatible with your phone. For live VR, keep the phone's rear camera unobstructed using a suitable headset design.
Frame rate and comfort depend on the device, content and temperature. Pause if the device becomes hot or the view feels uncomfortable.
These are viewing limits only. The separate iOS local recording and export limits still apply; paid VR viewing does not mean unlimited recording.
Adjust pupil distance, viewing distance and scale in VR. Video also provides area and distortion controls. Stop if you cannot obtain a comfortable view.
Your safety is paramount. Please read carefully:
By using VR Face Swap, you acknowledge and accept these safety guidelines and limitations.
For a shortcut, touch and hold the app icon and choose Live Quick Capture. It reuses the latest face when available; you still tap Record yourself. Live is a camera workflow, not automatic broadcasting or posting.
Open Classic → Photo, choose source face(s), then import a target from Photos. Use the available photo options and start creation. Photo generation uses the cloud and follows the image credit rules below. The left-to-right source slots belong to paid photo creation, not iOS video or GIF.
Open Classic → GIF, choose one available source face and import a GIF from Photos. Select its start and duration before creation. A longer input does not increase the allowed output length. The swap applies to the largest detected face and processing takes place on the device.
iOS App local creation benefits (4.0): Free — up to 2 seconds and 200 frames, with repeated watermarks covering the frame. Basic, Pro and Ultra — up to 10 seconds, no plan-based frame limit, and no watermark. Local GIF creation consumes no credits by operation or duration.
Open Video, import a clip from Photos and choose one available source face. Trim and adjust before exporting. The preview is muted; exports keep the original audio when the source has audio. Keep the app in the foreground while exporting.
Video swaps the largest detected face. iOS multi-face video swapping is not supported; the website's separate multi-face tools have their own rules.
iOS App local creation benefits (4.0) — For free and paid accounts, local Live recording, video exports and GIF creation no longer consume credits per operation.
Please note: multi-face video swapping is a highly advanced feature available exclusively to Pro and Ultra subscribers via our dedicated HD Multiface Video Web Tool at https://www.picsi.ai/en/video-face-swap-ai.
For controlled multi-face photos, use paid Classic Photo source slots. Video and GIF replace the largest detected face; they do not use those photo slots.
Successful Live recordings save to the app's Library first. Preview or share them there. Closing the post-recording share prompt keeps the Library item. Library is separate from the iOS Photos app and from website cloud storage.
Open Share to use the iOS share sheet. The shortcut beside Record shares the latest recording. Available destinations depend on iOS and installed apps; choose WhatsApp only if it is available, then complete sharing there. Picsi.Ai does not send it automatically.
Save to Photos creates a separate copy. Deleting a Library item does not mean that copies saved to Photos or shared elsewhere are also deleted.
Basic, Pro and Ultra have the same local Live/video/GIF duration limits listed below; their other benefits remain as shown on the pricing page. For App Store purchases, use the price displayed for your region. Manage billing through the original purchase provider: Apple, Stripe or Patreon.
iOS App local creation benefits (4.0) — For free and paid accounts, local Live recording, video exports and GIF creation no longer consume credits per operation. Adding new faces and cloud image generation still consume credits according to the server-side rules.
