Model Swap
Model swap replaces the person in an existing product photo with a different model while keeping the garment, pose, lighting, and composition unchanged.
Also called: ai model swap, swap model, model replacement.
Model swap takes an existing on-model photo and replaces only the model, leaving the garment, pose, lighting, and framing intact. It lets a brand reuse photography it already paid for: localize a campaign with a regional model, diversify a catalog, or refresh imagery, all without re-shooting the product.
The hard part is keeping the garment pixel-faithful through the swap, so prints, seams, and fit stay exactly as photographed and only the person changes. That garment preservation is what separates a production tool from a demo.
