Did you know you can put your face, or someone else's, onto images you create with Midjourney AI? A recent update makes this easy to do right inside Discord. This guide shows you the steps to get started with AI face swapping in Midjourney.
What You Need Before You Start
First, make sure you have a Midjourney account and use it on Discord. If you are new to Midjourney on Discord, there are resources online to help you get that basic setup done.
Once your Midjourney is ready in Discord, you will need to add a special bot that handles the face swapping.
Set Up Your Own Discord Server
To do face swaps easily, it helps to have your own private Discord server. This keeps things tidy and gives you a dedicated space.
Find the plus sign on the left side of Discord.
Click to add a server.
Choose the option to create your own server.
Select the option for you and your friends.
Give your server a name. It can be anything you like.
Click create.
You do not need to invite friends right now, just the bots needed for Midjourney and face swapping.
Invite the Necessary Bots
You need two key bots invited to your new private server: the Midjourney bot and the face swap bot.
Invite the Midjourney Bot
If you are already using Midjourney, you interact with its bot often. You just need to add it to your new server.
Go back to the main Midjourney server you joined before.
Find the Midjourney bot. It's usually listed on the right side or you may find it in your direct messages.
Click on the bot and select "Add to Server".
Choose the private server you just made from the list.
Click continue and then authorize.
Invite the Face Swap Bot
This is the special bot that handles the actual face swapping. You invite it the same way.
You need an invite link for the face swap bot. You can often find this link on the bot's website or guides online.
Click the invite link. It will open a page asking you to add it to a server.
Select the private server you created.
Click continue and authorize.
Now, when you look at the members in your private server, you should see yourself, the Midjourney bot, and the face swap bot.
Save Your Face for Swapping
The face swap bot needs to know which face to use. You save an image of the face you want to swap onto other pictures.
In your private server, type `/saveid` and press enter.
The bot will prompt you to drop an image. Upload the picture of the face you want to use for swapping.
It will then ask you to name this face ID. Pick a simple name, like "myface" or "swapface".
Press enter. The bot will confirm the ID name is created.
You can save multiple face IDs if you plan to swap different faces. Just repeat the process with a new name for each picture.
Create Your Base Image in Midjourney
Next, you generate the image you want to swap the saved face onto. You do this using the Midjourney bot in your private server.
Type `/imagine` followed by your prompt in the message box.
Describe the image you want Midjourney to create. For example, "cyberpunk portrait of a person look at camera ultra realistic 4K". Be specific about the look, style, and pose if you want the face to look correct when swapped.
Press enter and wait for Midjourney to generate the four image options.
Choose the image you like best. You can use the U buttons (U1, U2, U3, U4) to create a larger, higher-detail version of one of the images.

Perform the Face Swap
This is where the face swap bot does its work. It is very simple thanks to the Discord app feature.
Hover over the Midjourney image you want to use (either one of the initial four or an upscaled version).
Right-click on the image.
Find the "Apps" option in the menu that pops up.
Select the face swap bot name (often "In Swapper" or similar) from the list of apps.
Clicking the bot name will automatically start the face swap process using your saved face ID.
The bot will create a new image below the original. This new image will have the face from your saved ID on it.
Generating many images and face swaps can take time. The TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite lets you automate many steps, saving you effort. Learn more at [LINK url="https://www.titanxt.io/midjourneyautomator"].
Save Your Swapped Image
Once the face swap is complete, you can save the new image.
Click on the swapped image to open it fully.
You can usually right-click on the image and select "Save Image As..." or similar, depending on your browser or Discord settings.
Save the image file to your computer.
You now have a Midjourney image with your face swapped onto it! You can use prompts to create different styles and characters, then easily swap faces.
Conclusion
Adding face swapping to Midjourney creations opens up many fun ideas, from personalized greetings to unique profile pictures. By adding the right bots to your own server and following these simple steps, you can start swapping faces today.
Remember, tools like the TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite are available to help you optimize your Midjourney workflow and get results faster. Consider how automation could help with repeated tasks like generating images and performing swaps.
Happy swapping!
