Live Face Swap

Halloween 2026 · Live webcam

A Halloween face filter that runs live on your webcam

A Halloween face filter on Live Face Swap is not a sticker on top of your video: the AI redraws your face in real time from a reference portrait, so a pale vampire or a sage-painted witch blinks, talks and turns its head when you do. Run it in the browser, or through the desktop app’s LiveFaceSwap Camera in Zoom, Discord, Twitch and OBS. Below are five fictional Halloween faces made for this page that you can upload as the reference.

Five Halloween faces to use as your reference

These are fictional people made for this page, not real faces. Save the image you like (right-click or long-press), open the live workspace, choose Face Swap and upload it as the reference portrait. The model takes facial features, skin tone and hairstyle from the reference and keeps your clothes, room and movement, so a face with painted skin carries that colour into your call.

  • Front-facing fictional woman with pale porcelain skin, dark red lips, black hair in a sleek bun and a black lace collar on a plum background

    Porcelain Nocturne Vampire

    Very pale skin, oxblood lips and a sleek centre-parted bun. Pairs well with a dark room and a single lamp beside your monitor.

    Recipe used to make this reference face
    Front-facing head-and-shoulders reference portrait of a fictional adult vampire character for a live face swap: a woman in her 30s with very pale porcelain skin, sharp dark eyebrows, dark red lipstick, faint grey shadows under the cheekbones, glossy black hair in a sleek low bun with a centre parting, and a high stiff black lace collar. She looks straight into the lens with a calm, closed-mouth expression, both eyes, the full mouth and the jawline clearly visible. Even, soft frontal studio light, plain dark plum background, sharp focus, realistic skin texture. No fangs showing, no blood, no hands near the face, no hat, no text, no watermark.
  • Front-facing fictional older man with sage-green painted skin, grey shoulder-length hair, silver beard and amber eyes

    Sage-Paint Hedge Witch

    Even green face paint, a silver beard and amber eyes. No hat, because a brim over the forehead makes the swap less stable.

    Recipe used to make this reference face
    Front-facing head-and-shoulders reference portrait of a fictional adult witch character for a live face swap: a man in his 50s with sage-green painted skin evenly covering the whole face and neck, a long straight nose, deep-set amber eyes, a short silver beard, shoulder-length grey hair tucked behind the ears and a dark green wool collar. He faces the camera squarely with a sly closed-mouth smile; eyes, mouth and face outline fully visible, nothing covering the forehead. Soft even frontal light, plain charcoal background, sharp focus, realistic skin texture under the green paint. No hat, no warts, no hands in frame, no text, no watermark.
  • Front-facing fictional young woman with deep brown skin and short black curls wearing white skull face paint with black eye sockets and drawn teeth

    Half-Skull Stage Paint

    White skull paint with black sockets and drawn-on teeth, but open, readable eyes, which is what keeps the live face tracking your expressions.

    Recipe used to make this reference face
    Front-facing head-and-shoulders reference portrait of a fictional adult with theatrical skull face paint for a live face swap: a young Black woman in her 20s with deep brown skin, short natural black curls, the face painted matte white with clean black sockets around open eyes, a black triangular nose tip and fine black tooth lines drawn across closed lips, following her real bone structure. She looks directly at the camera with a neutral expression, both eyes bright and clearly readable. Soft even frontal light, plain black background, crisp focus, visible skin texture at the hairline and neck. No flowers covering the face, no gore, no hands, no text, no watermark.
  • Front-facing fictional East Asian man with shaggy grey hair, bristly sideburns, amber eyes and a fur-trimmed leather collar

    Full-Moon Mutton Chops

    Werewolf by suggestion: a shaggy grey mane, bristly sideburns, amber eyes and a fur collar, with no snout, so it still reads as a human face.

    Recipe used to make this reference face
    Front-facing head-and-shoulders reference portrait of a fictional adult werewolf-inspired character for a live face swap, still clearly a human face: an East Asian man in his 40s with warm light-tan skin, wild shaggy dark grey hair swept back like a mane, very thick bushy dark eyebrows, big bristly grey mutton-chop sideburns that run down the cheeks into a rough short beard, glowing golden-amber eyes, smudges of dirt on the cheekbones and a torn brown leather jacket collar with grey fur trim. He looks straight into the lens with a wolfish closed-mouth grin; eyes, mouth and jawline fully visible. Moody but even frontal light, plain dark forest-green background, sharp focus. No snout, no fur on the nose or forehead, no fangs, no hands, no text, no watermark.
  • Front-facing fictional older woman with ashen grey-blue skin, violet eye shadows, silver hair pinned up and an ivory lace blouse

    Ashen Parlour Ghost

    Grey-blue stage-ghost skin, violet shadows and Victorian lace. Spookiest with the room lights off and a cool screen glow on your face.

    Recipe used to make this reference face
    Front-facing head-and-shoulders reference portrait of a fictional adult Victorian ghost character for a live face swap: a white woman in her 60s whose skin is painted an even, pale ashen grey-blue like stage ghost makeup, with soft silver hair pinned up in a loose Victorian chignon, pale icy-blue eyes, dusky violet shadows around the eyes, desaturated grey lips and a high-necked ivory lace blouse with a cameo brooch. She faces the camera directly with a faint closed-mouth smile; eyes, mouth and face outline clearly visible and fully opaque. Cool moonlit frontal light with a faint blue glow, plain misty slate background, sharp focus, realistic skin texture. No transparency over the face, no veil, no hands, no text, no watermark.

Each reference face was generated from its recipe with an open image model (FLUX.2 klein) for this page. How closely the live output matches depends on your lighting, camera angle and connection.

In short

  • Upload any of the five Halloween faces below as the reference in Face Swap; the built-in Zombie, Cyborg and Elf presets work too.
  • Live AI output costs 3.6 credits per second, only while it runs; the $15 Basic pack covers about 3 minutes.
  • Pencil sketch and Comic ink run free on your own device, with no credits or sign-in.
  • The Windows 11 and Apple Silicon Mac apps send the result to any app that can pick a camera.

Three ways to do Halloween in the live workspace

The workspace has three effects, and each one gives you a different kind of costume. Only one runs at a time, so pick the one that matches the call.

  • Face Swap: upload one of the faces above, your own costume selfie, or pick the built-in Zombie, Cyborg or Elf preset. Best when people should see a character, not you.
  • Try-On: keeps your face and replaces your clothes. Choose Knight armor or Black tuxedo, or upload a photo of a cape or costume you like.
  • Restyle: turns the whole frame into Claymation, Comic book, Oil painting, Cyberpunk neon and other styles, so you stay recognisable in a spooky look.
  • Free on your device: Pencil sketch and Comic ink. They cost nothing and need no sign-in, which makes them a good test before a call.

Getting the reference face right

The live model copies what it can read from the reference: the face shape, features, skin tone and hairstyle. Hats, veils, hands near the face and heavy shadows give it less to work with, which is why the faces above are front-on, evenly lit and bare-headed. If you make your own, keep those rules and copy the structure of a recipe: who the character is, the skin and hair, a straight-on gaze and a list of things to leave out.

Your side matters as much. Sit facing a window or a lamp, keep your face roughly the same size in frame, and avoid backlight from a bright window behind you. You can swap to another reference photo while the session runs, so try two faces before the party starts.

Zoom, Discord, Twitch and OBS on Halloween night

In the browser, the workspace is a preview: other apps cannot see it. To appear as your Halloween face in a call or stream, install the desktop app (Windows 11, or macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon), start the effect there, then select LiveFaceSwap Camera as the camera in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or Discord, or add it as a Video Capture Device in OBS for Twitch and YouTube. The detailed Zoom and OBS guides on this site walk through each menu.

The first AI frames usually appear 10 to 25 seconds after you press Start, so switch on a minute before you join, not when the host says “cameras on”. Credits are counted only while AI output is running; previewing your camera and choosing a photo are free.

Keep the costume party fun

Use your own face, a fictional face like the ones above, or a portrait of someone who said yes. Do not use a live face to pass yourself off as a real person, and tell the people on the call or stream that they are watching an AI-altered video. A short “it’s a filter” in the chat or the stream title is enough, and it saves anyone from wondering who just joined.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free Halloween face filter?

Pencil sketch and Comic ink run on your own device and are free, without sign-in. The AI face swap, try-on and AI styles run in the cloud and use credits: 3.6 per second of live output.

How long does a Halloween call cost?

At 3.6 credits per second, the 650-credit Basic pack ($15) covers about 3 minutes of live output and the 2,500-credit Pro pack ($29) about 11 minutes. Credits never expire and are shared between the browser and the desktop app.

Can I use these faces on Zoom or Discord?

Yes. Save the image, start Face Swap in the desktop app with it as the reference, then choose LiveFaceSwap Camera as your camera in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or Discord.

Why does my witch face look less green than the reference?

The live model blends the reference with your real lighting and camera. Even, frontal light keeps colours closest to the reference; a warm lamp or a bright window behind you shifts them.

Can I record a clip to post later?

Yes. Record the LiveFaceSwap Camera feed in OBS. For a finished clip without going live, the Video face swap tool replaces a face in an uploaded clip of up to 15 seconds for 2 credits per second.

Updated 2026-10-20. Live Face Swap is an independent product. Use only your own face or portraits you have permission to use, never to impersonate or deceive anyone, and tell the people watching when they are seeing an AI-altered video.
