How Deepswap Credits Work: Face Swap Pricing and Limits

Deepswap's credit system ties directly to the type of media you're swapping - images are cheap, videos are expensive, and understanding this split is the key to managing your budget. ## Credit Costs by Media Type **Photo face swaps** - The cheapest option. A single image face swap typically costs 1-2 credits. This includes photos and static images in any common format. **GIF face swaps** - Mid-range cost. Animated GIFs cost more than stills because they process multiple frames. Expect 5-15 credits depending on length. **Video face swaps** - Most expensive. Video processing costs scale with duration. Short clips (under 10 seconds) might cost 20-40 credits. Longer videos can cost 100+ credits per swap. ## Free Credits Deepswap gives new users a starter credit allocation, usually enough for several photo swaps or one short video. Daily login bonuses and first-time actions add small amounts. Free credits are best thought of as a trial rather than sustained use budget. ## Subscription vs Credit Packs Deepswap offers monthly subscriptions and one-time credit packs. For regular users, subscriptions are significantly cheaper per credit than purchasing packs individually. If you only occasionally need swaps, buying a credit pack as needed makes more sense than a recurring subscription. ## Getting the Most from Credits 1. **Start with images** - If you're testing a concept, do it on a still image before committing video credits 2. **Trim video clips before uploading** - Only pay to process the frames you actually need 3. **Check output before full processing** - Some platforms offer a preview mode at reduced credit cost 4. **Watch for promotional credit bonuses** - Deepswap occasionally runs promotions with bonus credits on purchases Credit balances carry over month to month with most subscription plans, so unused credits don't go to waste.
