How do I copy a TikTok video, Instagram Reel, or YouTube Short?
You do not need a downloader or editor to reuse a public short-form clip. Pasting the link is enough for SwapReels to read the source video for generation.

1. Paste any TikTok video link.
2. Drop your AI influencer's photo.
3. Generate a unique UGC video for your TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.
Impressive.
Step 1
Upload your photo
Use a clear, well-lit photo of a person, JPG, PNG, or WebP. A front-facing shot with full body or upper body visible works best.
Step 2
Paste an Instagram Reel, YouTube Short, or TikTok link
Copy a public Instagram Reel, YouTube Short, or TikTok URL (up to 30 seconds) and paste it in. No download, no editor.
Step 3
Generate and download
Preview your AI video, then download your motion control swap video to post on TikTok Videos, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.
