Pixlr's Face Swapper Is Free to Open, Not Free to Run

Pixlr’s “Free AI Face Swap Online” tool presents a simple two-image interface but requires users to sign in and spend 2 AI credits per completed swap, details that are not clearly stated in its surrounding marketing copy. The service supports only still-image swaps, automatically downsizes uploads to a maximum 2160-pixel edge and converts them to JPEG before processing, then provides a PNG download that has been re-encoded from JPEG, limiting quality for print or editing work. Credits can be obtained through subscriptions, packs, or a trial, with effective costs varying from roughly $0.01 to $0.062 per swap depending on the purchase route, while Pixlr offers no documented public API, output-size controls, processing history, or visible template browser despite references to templates. Its terms require users to have appropriate rights and permissions and grant Pixlr a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable license over uploads and generated results, alongside an FAQ statement that uploads are promptly deleted. The comparison highlights Atlas Cloud as a metered alternative with image swaps priced around $0.096 per run, configurable output options, a REST API, and separate video face-swap support, making it more suited to automation, specified formats, burst workloads, or video processing.
