Want to put a different face onto your Midjourney creations? This guide shows you how to do face swapping directly within the Midjourney Discord environment. While other tools exist that might be simpler, staying in Discord is useful if you're already there all the time.
Let's walk through the steps to get this working for you.
Get Started in Midjourney Discord
To use this specific face swap method, you need to be using Midjourney through Discord.
If you don't use Midjourney on Discord, search for "Midjourney Discord" and join their server.
Log in if you have an account, or create one.
While the browser version of Midjourney is great, face swapping this way requires the Discord setup.
Create Your Own Server
You'll need a personal server in Discord to do the face swapping smoothly. You can create one easily:
Click the plus (+) icon to add a server.
Choose "Create My Own server."
Select "For me and my friends" or similar.
Give your server a name, like "Face Swap Fun," and click create.
Add the Necessary Bots
Now you need to invite two bots to your new server: the Midjourney bot and a face swap bot.
Invite the Midjourney Bot
Go to the Midjourney server or find the Midjourney bot in your direct messages.
Click on the Midjourney bot profile.
Select "Add App."
Choose "Add to Server."
Pick the server you just created (e.g., "Face Swap Fun").
Click "Continue" and then "Authorize." Confirm you are human.
Invite the Face Swap Bot
You also need the InsightFace Swap bot. This is a separate bot you invite like you did the Midjourney bot.
Find the invite link for the InsightFace Swap bot (often shared in tutorials or communities).
Click the invite link.
Choose the server you created as the destination.
Click "Continue" and "Authorize." Confirm you are human.
Once both bots are in your server, you'll see them in the member list. Now you are ready to swap faces.
Handling multiple faces and projects can get complicated. Consider using the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to streamline your workflow and manage face swaps more easily across many images.
Save the Face You Want to Use
The face swap bot needs to know which face is your "source" face – the one you want to put onto other images.
In your new server, type `/saveid`.
You'll see a prompt to drop an image or upload a file.
Upload the image of the face you want to use for swapping consistently.
Give this face a name, like "myface" or the person's name. Press Enter.
The bot confirms it saved the ID. Now, this is the default face for swaps until you save a different one with the same ID name or a new ID name.
Generate Your Base Image
Next, create the image you want to swap the face onto. Do this directly in your new server where the bots are.
Type `/imagine` followed by your prompt.
Describe the scene, person, and style for the image you want Midjourney to create (e.g., "a knight looking at camera, dark setting").
Press Enter and wait for Midjourney to generate the images.
Perform the Face Swap
With your base images generated, swapping the face is straightforward.
Find the image you want to use from the grid Midjourney created.
Click the U button below it to upscale that specific image (U1, U2, U3, or U4).
Once the single image appears, right-click on it.
Hover over "Apps" in the menu that pops up.
Click on "InSwapper".
Wait a moment.
The bot will process the image and provide a new version with your saved face swapped onto it. You often get a few tries or credits with face swap bots before needing a paid plan.
Managing different face IDs and iterating through multiple swaps can be time-consuming. For a more efficient process, explore the Midjourney Automation Suite by TitanXT.
Refine and Download Your Swapped Image
Just like any other Midjourney image, you can now work with your face-swapped result.
View the swapped image the bot provides.
You can right-click and save/download it.
Depending on the bot and setup, you might have options for variations, zooming, or other adjustments, similar to standard Midjourney upscales.
This method integrates face swapping into your Midjourney workflow directly within Discord.
In Summary
Face swapping in Midjourney Discord involves setting up your own server, adding bots, saving a source face ID, generating a base image with /imagine, and using the InSwapper app function. It has a few setup steps but keeps the process within the Discord environment if you already use it for Midjourney.
Automating repetitive Midjourney tasks, including managing image generation and face swaps, can save a lot of time. Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to see how it can help.
Happy swapping!
