How oVideo compares

oVideo is our product. Cloney takes TikTok and Reels links, and ClipTwin imports a video from a link for a face swap (checked October 31, 2026). See the character swap tools compared.

  • TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts in one box.
  • You pick the exact seconds to use.
  • The whole person is swapped, outfit included, not only the face.
  • The original sound of the clip is put back in sync.
  • Story to Video, Shorts and captions in the same account.

Ideas

What people swap into

  • The dance on your feed. Do the trend everyone posted without learning a single step.
  • A reaction or a punchline. Be the face of the meme your friends keep sending.
  • A sports moment. Score the goal or land the trick from a clip you found.
  • A friend as the star. Use their photo, with their consent, and send them the result.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

How do I put myself in a TikTok video?
Copy the link of the TikTok, open Put Yourself In on oVideo and paste it. Pick the seconds you want, add one clear photo of yourself and create. You replace the person in the clip while the moves, the camera and the sound stay.
Can I use an Instagram Reel?
Yes. Paste the link of the Reel or of a video post. Photo posts and carousels without a video cannot be used.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Paste the link of the Short, or of a short YouTube video, and pick the part you want.
Do I have to download the video first?
No. oVideo brings the clip in from the link. If a link cannot be used, for example a private video, you can still save the video and upload the file.
Does the original sound stay?
Yes. The music, voices and effects of the part you picked are put back in sync with the moves.
What changes and what stays?
Your face, hair, body and outfit come from your photo. Every move, the camera, the background and the timing stay from the original clip.
How much does it cost?
Bringing a clip in from a link is free. The swap is priced per second: 19 credits per second at 720p and 26 at 1080p, shown before you create, and failed videos are refunded automatically.
Which other tools can swap from a link?
Cloney takes TikTok and Reels links and ClipTwin imports a video from a link for a face swap (checked October 31, 2026). oVideo also takes YouTube Shorts, lets you pick the exact seconds, swaps the whole person including the outfit, and keeps the original sound.
Can I use any video?
