Overview
VidMage is an AI face-swap platform for photos, videos, GIFs, and live camera workflows. It offers daily free swaps on the web, a Mac application for live and partial face replacement, and paid credits for larger or higher-volume projects.
Our take
VidMage focuses on face swap and creative video editing across web and Mac, at a single monthly price. It is a narrow entertainment-leaning product and it performs that brief adequately. The important consideration is not technical: face swap is the capability most likely to create legal and reputational problems when used on someone who did not agree to it.
Worth it if
Personal creative video projects using your own footage and likeness.
Look elsewhere if
Any use involving a recognisable person who has not given permission.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is face swapping someone else legal?
Increasingly not, depending on what you do with it. Several jurisdictions have legislated on synthetic likeness, non-consensual sexual deepfakes are criminal in a growing number of places, and civil claims over likeness are available in many more. Consent from the person, in writing, is the only position that is safe everywhere.
Does the Mac app do more than the web version?
Desktop versions in this category typically handle larger files, process locally and avoid upload time, which matters for longer or higher-resolution footage. Feature parity varies and changes between releases, so if a specific capability is the reason you are subscribing, confirm it exists on the platform you will actually use.
