Copy Face earns its place in the aescripts library as a locally-run, video-native face swapper that handles both realistic and stylized faces through its Instant and Style models.
Copy Face is an AI-based face-swapping plugin for After Effects from Blace Plugins, powered by blace.ai. It copies one face onto another and works with both realistic and stylized faces, with all processing running fully local on your machine.
The plugin is video-native for flicker-free results and ships with two models. Instant renders realistic faces quickly and is the default, while Style is built for swapping stylized characters. A face-verification system is included to safeguard the technology, and recent versions add face generation from text prompts along with support for loading .cpf files.
Copy Face is compatible with After Effects 2026 and 2025, and its Instant model supports both macOS and Windows. A demo video is available, and a Stop Processing button lets you cancel long-running computations. The plugin is listed as free in this catalog, so check the developer's page for current licensing details.
Copy Face is best for swapping faces on both realistic and stylized subjects in After Effects, with all processing running locally.
Copy Face is completely free to download and use.
Copy Face is compatible with After Effects 2026 and 2025. Version 1.4.59 was released on June 17, 2026, and the changelog includes compatibility releases alongside stability fixes such as resolving a crash that sometimes occurred on very long renders and improved feedback about out-of-memory situations. If you run one of these After Effects versions, the plugin should fit your setup. For any versions outside 2025 and 2026, check the developer's page, since compatibility beyond what's listed here isn't confirmed.
Copy Face runs fully local on your machine, so face swapping happens on your own hardware rather than a remote service. It's powered by blace.ai and ships with two models, Instant and Style. The changelog notes better reporting of out-of-memory errors and a Stop Processing button that lets you cancel long-running computations immediately, both of which relate to local processing. Because everything runs on your machine, available memory can affect longer renders, which is why several updates focus on out-of-memory feedback.
Copy Face deploys two models, Instant and Style. Instant renders realistic faces quickly and is set as the default, making it the starting point for typical swaps. Style excels at swapping stylized characters, so it suits non-photoreal subjects. The Instant model added Windows and macOS support in an earlier update, and the plugin as a whole works with both realistic and stylized faces. Choosing between the two comes down to whether your source material is realistic or stylized.
Copy Face includes macOS and Windows support for its Instant model, which was added in the 1.3.52 update. Instant is the default model and renders realistic faces quickly. The plugin runs fully local on your machine and is powered by blace.ai. Since the cross-platform support noted here specifically covers the Instant model, check the developer's page for details on the Style model and any platform specifics before installing on your system.
Copy Face is listed as free in this catalog, so there's no price figure to report here. Licensing terms can change, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm current availability. Note that the plugin includes a face-verification system introduced to safeguard the technology, so some workflows may involve verification, while face generation from new text prompts was added without needing that step. Check the developer's page for the latest on both licensing and verification.
