What is the Gender Swap Filter trend?
The gender swap filter turns your photo into your opposite gender version: if you are a woman you see your male version, if you are a man you see your female version. On TikTok it runs as "Would you date your opposite self?". Upload one selfie and ViralVideoAI makes the reveal video or the swapped photo.

Which photo works best?
Use one clear selfie of yourself: your face toward the camera, in good light, from the chest up.
- Eyes, skin tone, freckles and glasses carry over. Hair keeps its color.
- A simple background works best, because it stays the same before and after.
- No sunglasses, no hand over the face, no beauty filter.
- Adults only (18+), and only people who agreed. Never a child, celebrity or stranger.

The Gender Swap Filter prompts
You do not need this: the one-tap flow runs it. The change is small on purpose: hairstyle, jaw and brows, stubble or light makeup. Eyes, nose, lips, skin tone and age stay.

Video prompt
A viral "gender swap filter" selfie video made from [Image 1], vertical 9:16. Use [Image 1] as the opening look and the only identity reference. Preserve identity, facial features, skin tone, age. Keep the camera fixed. 0-2 s: the person exactly as in [Image 1], one blink. 2-6 s: a clean straight vertical line sweeps from left to right: behind it the opposite-gender version, ahead of it still the original. 6-10 s: the new version touches their hair, a small confident smile, one eyebrow up. For the transformation, apply minimal adjustments: hairstyle, subtle facial softness or sharpness, eyebrow thickness — not a reconstruction. Female to male: slightly stronger jaw, no makeup, short or mid-short hair in the original hair color. Male to female: slightly softer contours, minimal natural makeup, longer hair in the original hair color, no beard. Clothes keep their colors and become an everyday modest cut. Audio: a soft whoosh, then a light pop beat. Exactly one grown adult. Friendly what-if, never a costume or a mocking look. No text, stickers, logos or watermark.

Video prompt
Use the uploaded image as the base. Generate the same photo with each person as a gender-transformed opposite-gender version, strictly retaining the same core identity. Do NOT change age group, facial proportions, face shape, eye distance, nose, lips, bone structure, skin tone or key expression. Minimal adjustments: hairstyle, subtle softness or sharpness, eyebrow thickness. If two people, each becomes their own opposite-gender version in their own place; never blend faces. Keep pose, expression, background, light and framing. Clothes keep colors and become an everyday modest cut. Vertical 9:16. Grown adults only. Friendly what-if, never mocking or revealing. No text, logos or watermark.
How many credits does it cost?

What happens in the video, second by second?
Swap video copies the look of the trend: a wipe from your selfie to your opposite self.
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0-2 s | Your selfie holds, one blink |
| 2-6 s | A straight line wipes left to right; the face is half and half for a moment |
| 6-10 s | The new you touches their hair and smiles |
What goes wrong
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| The face looks like someone else | Use a sharp selfie, face to the camera, and run it again |
| The change is too small | Run it again, or use a photo with your hair visible |
| The skin or age changed | That is not the trend look: run it again |
Caption, sound and hashtags
Use the trend's question as your caption: "Would you date your opposite self?" Then answer it honestly.
- Hashtags: #genderswapfilter, #oppositeself
- Post the Swap photo next to your real photo as a carousel
- Keep it kind. It is a playful what-if, not a statement about anyone
Gender Swap Filter questions
What is the gender swap filter?
It shows you as your opposite gender, with the same eyes, skin and background. The 2026 AI version wipes from your selfie to the swapped one under "Would you date your opposite self?".
Is this the Snapchat gender swap filter?
No. The Snapchat lens was a live camera effect from 2019. This makes a finished photo or video from one selfie.
Can I use a photo of a child or a celebrity?
No. Use a selfie of yourself or of adults (18+) who agreed. We do not swap children, celebrities or strangers.
