Gender Swap — hands up, new look.
Gender Swap changes hair and clothes to an opposite-gender look during a single hands-over-head move. The sample opens on a young man with short dark hair, a dark green cable-knit cardigan and a cream knit sweater, against a plain light grey wall. By the end, he appears as a woman with long dark hair.
The sample
What happens in the Gender Swap sample.
The sample opens on a young man with short dark hair styled up, wearing a dark green cable-knit cardigan over a cream sweater. His hands move in front of his chest, then rise to the top of his head. As they do, the cream sweater becomes a dusty pink dress under the cardigan. His hands slide to the back of his head and his hair comes down long and dark, parted in the middle. The cardigan slips off his arms, and the final frame shows a woman with long wavy dark hair in a pink wrap dress with thin straps.
The face keeps the same eyes, brows, skin tone and calm expression from start to end, while the hair, clothes and body outline change. The grey backdrop stays the same and the camera holds a steady waist-up shot. The sample starts on a front-facing, waist-up view against a plain background, so that is the framing to aim for.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Waist up, facing forward
The sample opens on a waist-up shot looking straight at the camera, so a photo framed that way is a good match.
Leave room above your head
Both hands rise to the top of the head during the change, so a little space above your head keeps them in frame.
Plain backdrop
The sample uses a plain light grey wall that never changes. A simple background is close to how it is set up.

Gender Swap, answered.
What does the Gender Swap effect do?
A young man in a green cardigan raises his hands over his head, and his short hair and cream sweater change to long dark hair and a dusty pink dress.
Does Gender Swap change my face?
In the sample, the face stays very close to the original. The eyes, brows, skin tone and calm expression carry through, while the short hair becomes long and dark and the green cardigan and cream sweater give way to a pink strappy dress. The change happens as both hands move over the head. You need only one photo.
