The 13 Best Face Swap Apps for Photos and Videos

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read):

• The best face swap app overall is Magic Hour for realistic photo and video swaps with minimal effort.
• For viral social content and GIF templates, Reface.
• For full manual control with complete privacy, FaceFusion on GitHub.
• For a free no-signup swap right now, FaceSwapper.ai.
• For teams and enterprise multi-face workflows, Akool.

Face swap apps have crossed a line. What used to look like a cheap filter now passes for real edits in both photos and videos.

After testing 13 face swap tools across mobile and web, one thing is clear: you no longer need Photoshop, After Effects, or editing experience to get convincing results. Modern AI handles alignment, lighting, expressions, and blending automatically.

This guide covers the 13 best face swap apps in 2026, what each one does well, where it falls short, and which creator should actually use it.

Best Face Swap Apps at a Glance

1. Magic Hour

Magic Hour is a face swap tool designed for people who want realistic results without learning editing software. Upload a photo or video, select a target face, and the system handles the rest.

It is our platform — I will be upfront about that. I will also be honest about where it excels and where it does not, because a guide that soft-pedals its own product is not useful.

Pros

• Handles both photo and video face swap in one subscription alongside lip sync, talking photo, and text-to-video
• Performs well on imperfect input: handheld footage, mixed lighting, slight head turns
• Credits never expire on any plan, unlike most competitors
• API available for developers building face swap into their own apps
• No credit card required to start; free plan is genuinely usable

Cons

• Not built for long cinematic output — optimized for short-form (TikTok, Reels, product videos)
• Face swap degrades on very fast motion or source footage below 720p
• Limited manual controls — the AI makes blending decisions automatically

Evaluation

In testing with a 30-second handheld phone clip of a person talking, face alignment stayed consistent through the majority of frames without any manual correction.

Skin tone matching and expression tracking held up even through slight head movement — the scenarios where most tools show visible warping. The tradeoff is control:

Magic Hour is opinionated by design. You trust the AI, and in most cases it earns that trust. If you need to manually adjust blending strength or model parameters, FaceFusion is a better fit.

The credit system is the most creator-friendly in this comparison. Credits roll over indefinitely and do not expire, which means a production sprint after a quiet month does not waste your balance.

At $10/month annually, the Creator plan delivers approximately 1.4 hours of face swap video per year — the most output volume at this price point of any tool reviewed here.

Pricing

Free  400 credits (~17 sec video, ~80 images) — 576px, watermarked, no credit card required

Creator  $10/mo annual ($15/mo monthly) — 120,000 credits/year, 1024px, no watermark, commercial use

Pro  $30/mo annual — 360,000 credits/year, 1472px

Business  $66/mo annual — 840,000 credits/year, 4K on select modes

2. DeepSwap

DeepSwap is a dedicated browser-based video face swap tool. It handles up to 6 faces in a single video clip and produces output that is among the most realistic for pure video work — provided the source material cooperates.

Pros

• Processes a 1-minute video in approximately 10 seconds
• Handles up to 6 faces in a single clip without identity confusion
• Strong GIF face swap that tracks motion frame-by-frame
• No software installation required — runs entirely in browser
• Skin tone matching and blending are consistent on frontal, well-lit shots

Cons

• Quality drops sharply on fast motion, low-light footage, or angled faces
• Credits are non-refundable on failed generations — difficult source material burns budget
• Uploads stored for up to 30 days; no instant deletion toggle
• Celebrity detection system blocks some legitimate creative use cases

Evaluation

In a head-to-head test using a 1-minute talking-head clip, DeepSwap delivered output with no visible frame jitter and clean skin tone blending — comfortably better than FaceSwapper.ai and comparable to Magic Hour on that specific scenario.

Where it diverges is on difficult input: footage with a subject looking away at 45 degrees consistently produced edge warping around the jawline. This is not unique to DeepSwap, but it is more pronounced here than in Magic Hour's output on the same clip.

The credit system rewards planned workflows and punishes iteration. One credit is consumed per generation regardless of whether the output is usable.

For anyone whose source footage is consistent and clean, that is fine. For anyone working with imperfect material, the cost of failed generations adds up quickly.

Pricing

Free  2 swaps per day — watermarked, limited features

Standard  $9.99/mo — 100 credits/month, HD export, no watermark

Pro  $19.99/mo — 300 credits/month, priority rendering, video up to 3 minutes

Annual  ~$4.17/mo equivalent with significant savings on yearly billing

3. FaceFusion (GitHub)

FaceFusion is an open-source face manipulation platform that runs entirely on your local hardware. It is the only tool in this list that delivers genuine privacy: no uploads, no cloud processing, no data retention policy to worry about.

Pros

• Runs completely locally — no data leaves your machine
• Fully free and open source, including for commercial use
• Adjustable blending strength, multiple swap models, expression restoration, lip-sync
• Batch processing for high-volume local workflows
• The quality ceiling on clean input is the highest of any tool in this list

Cons

• Requires a capable GPU (NVIDIA recommended), Python, and command-line comfort
• 30 to 60 minutes of setup time on first run
• No beginner safety net — poor alignment choices produce poor output
• Slower iteration than cloud tools for users who need fast turnaround

Evaluation

In a test with a challenging source — partially turned face at approximately 30 degrees, uneven window lighting — FaceFusion produced a usable result by manually adjusting the blending model and lowering the swap strength.

Magic Hour produced a slightly warped result on the same clip without manual intervention. That gap is exactly what FaceFusion is for: cases where the source material is imperfect and automated tools cannot compensate.

The web version at facefusion.io removes the installation barrier but reintroduces both a credit system and server-side uploads, which defeats the core value proposition.

If privacy or maximum manual control are your reasons for choosing FaceFusion, use the GitHub version — not the web app.

Pricing

GitHub  Completely free — runs locally, no credits, no watermark, full commercial use

facefusion.io (web)  Starter $9.99/mo (100 credits); larger bundles available at lower per-credit rates

4. Reface (Unboring)

Reface — rebranded as Unboring for its web platform — has been the face swap app most associated with viral social content since 2019. Its library of trending clips, celebrity scenes, and GIF templates is the largest of any tool in this comparison.

Pros

• Largest template library of any tool here — regularly updated with trending content
• Face swap result in under a minute from the mobile app
• Facial tracking on short clips is solid for social media standards
• Includes video restyle (video-to-cartoon, video-to-anime) on Premium plan
• Multi-face swap in photos supported

Cons

• Realism is noticeably lower than Magic Hour or DeepSwap
• Significant volume of Trustpilot complaints about unexpected recurring weekly charges
• Privacy policy permits use of generated content for model training
• Free tier is heavily ad-supported with constant upsell prompts
• Cancellation can be difficult on mobile — manage through device subscription settings, not the app

Evaluation

For its intended use case (dropping into a trending meme, swapping into a movie scene for a friend group chat), Reface delivers exactly what it promises.

The swap processes quickly, the template quality is genuinely good for short clips, and the output is share-ready without any editing. Realism is secondary here and that is fine — nobody looking at a Reface output is mistaking it for real footage.

The billing complaints on Trustpilot are worth taking seriously before subscribing. Multiple reviews from early 2026 describe being charged $19.99/week after what appeared to be a low-cost trial.

If you subscribe, use the annual web plan only, and manage the subscription through your Stripe dashboard or device subscription manager — not by deleting the app, which does not cancel billing.

Pricing

Free  Limited access, watermarked, ad-supported

Basic  ~$7.58/mo billed annually ($90.99/year) — no watermarks, unlimited photo swaps, priority queue

Premium  ~$9.99/mo billed annually ($119.99/year) — unlimited activities, video restyle included

5. Akool

Akool is a full AI video production suite — avatar video, video translation, talking photo, and more — with face swap as one of its core features. It is primarily built for enterprise-level workflows, and the pricing reflects that.

Pros

• Multi-face detection handles 6+ faces in a single frame without identity confusion
• API access for automated bulk workflows (from Pro Max tier upward)
• Live face swap for streaming sessions available
• Supports video up to 60 minutes on the Business plan
• Face enhancement post-swap available to clean up output automatically

Cons

• Expensive for individual creators — the useful features start at $30/mo and scale steeply
• API, workspace collaboration, and 8K resolution require the $119/mo Pro Max tier
• Some G2 reviews flag unexpected billing amounts at enterprise tier — review terms carefully
• Credit system makes monthly costs unpredictable

Evaluation

For a marketing team processing face swaps across 50 product images or replacing spokesperson faces in a campaign video batch, Akool is the most practical tool on this list.

Multi-face detection is genuinely reliable at scale — faces are identified and swapped independently without mixing up identities, even in crowded group shots. The turnaround time per swap is fast, and the output is clean enough to use directly without post-production.

For individual creators, the entry price is hard to justify. The Basic (free) plan limits face swap to 720p with watermarks.

The first useful paid tier is $30/month, and the features most developers want — API access, higher concurrency, workspace sharing — require $119/month.

If you need multi-face swap at lower volume, Pica AI at $5.99/month covers most of the same ground for solo use.

Pricing

Basic  Free — 720p, watermarked, classic face swap model only, personal use

Pro  $30/mo monthly (~$21/mo annual with 30% off) — 4K, all models, no watermark

Pro Max  $119/mo — 8K, API access, workspace collaboration, 5 concurrent generations

Business  $500/mo — 16K video, 60-min videos, 10 concurrent generations, fine-tuned studio avatar

6. FaceSwapper.ai

FaceSwapper.ai is exactly what the name suggests: a browser-based tool with no account required, no credits to buy, and no watermark on photo results. For casual use or quick testing, it is the lowest-friction face swap tool available.

Pros

• No sign-up, no credit card, no watermark on photo swaps
• Supports photos, videos, and GIFs in one tool
• Multi-face detection works on group photos
• All uploads deleted immediately after processing — stronger privacy than many paid tools
• Genuinely free with no usage cap on photo swaps

Cons

• Output quality is below Magic Hour and DeepSwap on all media types
• Video quality is noticeably weaker than photo quality
• No controls or adjustments — you get what the AI produces
• No commercial use rights on the free tier

Evaluation

FaceSwapper.ai performs well for exactly one purpose: getting a usable photo face swap result in under a minute without any account or payment.

For portrait photos with a frontal face and decent lighting, the output is perfectly acceptable for casual personal use. The edges blend cleanly and skin tone matching is competent for a free tool.

The gap between FaceSwapper.ai and a paid tool like Magic Hour or DeepSwap becomes visible as soon as the input gets harder: an angled face, a low-quality selfie, a moving video clip.

In those scenarios, the free output shows visible artifacts that paid tools handle automatically. Use it to test whether face swap works for your use case before committing to a subscription.

Pricing

Free  Unlimited photo swaps — no signup, no watermark, no credits required

Video  Free daily limit; paid tiers for higher-volume video processing

7. Snapchat

Snapchat is not a face swap editor. It is a live AR effect — point the camera at two faces, apply the lens, and the swap happens in real time before you even capture the clip. That makes it fundamentally different from every other tool in this comparison.

Pros

• Zero latency — swap is visible live before you record
• No upload, no rendering, no wait time
• Completely free with no paid upgrade needed for this feature
• Works for two-face live swap (your face and another person's) simultaneously

Cons

• Realism is limited — optimized for speed, not quality
• Lighting mismatches and facial proportion skewing are common
• Cannot be applied to pre-recorded footage
• No high-resolution export; output quality is limited to the camera capture
• No commercial use rights

Evaluation

Snapchat's face swap lens is fast, fun, and exactly right for live social content. The output is not photorealistic — faces often skew in proportion and lighting rarely matches between two live faces — but that is not the point.

For a birthday video, a reaction clip, or a live stream moment, nobody is asking for cinematic fidelity. The face swap registers immediately, the motion tracking keeps up with real-time movement, and the clip is shareable in seconds.

Where Snapchat falls short is anywhere outside that use case. It cannot be applied to existing footage, exports at limited resolution, and produces results that are visibly stylized rather than realistic. If the goal is to edit an existing video, use any other tool on this list.

Pricing

Free  All users — no paid plan required for the face swap feature

8. PixVerse

PixVerse is a text-to-video and video editing platform that includes face swap as one feature within a broader creative suite. Its face swap output trends toward cinematic and stylized aesthetics, which makes it the right choice for creative and branded content where artistic distinction matters more than pure realism.

Pros

• Four visual modes: Realistic, Anime, Clay, and 3D — the broadest style range of any tool here
• Strong for branded social content, e-commerce visuals, and creative videos
• Free daily credits available with no credit card required
• Face swap sits within a full video creation suite (text-to-video, effects, lip sync)

Cons

• Output consistency is variable — same prompt can produce different quality across runs
• Generation speed drops during peak hours
• Face swap is secondary to video generation in the product; tooling around it is less developed
• Monthly credits expire; unused balance does not roll over

Evaluation

PixVerse's face swap is most effective when the goal is a styled output rather than a realistic one. In testing using a product video with a cinematic style setting, the result had a polished, high-contrast look that would stand out on Instagram or TikTok.

In the same test with the realistic setting, the output was acceptable but not competitive with Magic Hour or DeepSwap on realism metrics. PixVerse wins on visual style; it does not win on photorealistic accuracy.

The consistency issue is worth flagging for production workflows. Two identical prompts on the same source clip produced noticeably different blending quality in back-to-back tests. For one-off creative content this is manageable. For campaigns requiring consistent output across 10 assets, it becomes a problem.

Pricing

Free  90 initial + 60 daily credits — watermarked

Standard  $10/mo — 1,200 credits/month, 720p HD, 3 concurrent generations, no watermark

Pro  $30/mo — 6,000 credits/month, 1080p, 5 concurrent generations

Premium  $60/mo — 15,000 credits/month, 8 concurrent generations

9. Pica AI

Pica AI is a web and mobile face swap tool that handles multiple faces in a single image alongside AI headshot generation and photo enhancement. It sits in an interesting gap: more capable than FaceSwapper.ai on group content, significantly cheaper than Akool.

Pros

• Handles multi-face swap in group photos without identity confusion
• AI headshot generator produces professional-grade outputs from selfies
• Lowest entry price of any multi-face tool reviewed here ($5.99/mo)
• Available on both web and mobile
• Free daily credits available without a credit card

Cons

• Video face swap quality is lower than Magic Hour and DeepSwap
• Free tier is limited in resolution and produces watermarked output
• Credit system can feel restrictive at the entry tier for heavy users
• Fewer advanced controls than FaceFusion or DeepSwap

Evaluation

Pica AI's multi-face detection is the standout feature at this price point. In a test with a 5-person group photo, each face was identified and swapped independently in a single pass without any identity crossover.

The output quality is not at Akool's level — blending on edge cases (hair overlap, partially occluded faces) shows artifacts that Akool handles more cleanly — but at $5.99/month versus $30/month, the value difference is real.

The AI headshot generator adds meaningful standalone value. Uploading a casual selfie and receiving a professional headshot-style output in under a minute is a genuine use case for freelancers, remote teams, and LinkedIn profile updates. It is not Magic Hour's face swap, but it is a different feature serving a different need.

Pricing

Free  Daily credits — limited resolution, watermarked

Paid  From $5.99/mo — more credits, HD exports, no watermark, commercial use

10. Photoleap

Photoleap is a full iOS photo editing app that includes face swap as one feature alongside its broader editing suite. The face swap is not the main event — the ability to manually refine the result afterward is.

Pros

• Face swap integrates directly with photo editing tools: edge refinement, lighting adjustment, color correction
• Allows manual cleanup of automated face swap results without switching apps
• Clean, well-designed mobile interface
• Good for portrait photography and creative retouching workflows

Cons

• iOS only — no Android or web version
• No video support
• Slower than one-click tools because the workflow expects manual editing steps
• Not suitable for volume production or any video workflows

Evaluation

Photoleap is the right tool for a specific creator: someone working primarily in photos on an iPhone who wants more than an automated output and is willing to spend 5 to 10 extra minutes per image getting it right.

In testing, the initial face swap quality was similar to other mid-tier tools, but the ability to immediately refine edge blending, adjust the lighting match, and retouch small artifacts within the same app meaningfully improved the final result versus exporting and editing elsewhere.

For anyone who needs volume output, video support, or a cross-device workflow, Photoleap is not the right fit. The editing workflow is inherently one image at a time, and there is no path to scaling it.

Pricing

Free  Core features available with limitations

Pro  $7.99/mo — full feature access, no watermark

Good. I have everything I need. Here is the verified Higgsfield section, ready to drop straight into the article in place of MagicFace, using the exact same format as the other 12 tools:

11. Higgsfield

Higgsfield is an all-in-one AI production studio founded by Alex Mashrabov, former Director of Generative AI at Snap Inc. Face swap sits alongside Cinema Studio video generation, character swap (Recast), lip sync, and multi-model access (Kling 2.6, Sora 2, Veo 3.1) under one subscription.

Pros

• Face swap processes in seconds with no prompting, masking, or manual editing required
• Maintains skin texture, lighting coherence, and depth relationships — more advanced than basic 2D overlay tools
• Recast feature does full character swap in video (body + face + motion consistency), not just face replacement
• 5 free face swap generations per day on the free plan
• Results can be animated directly into video using the platform's video generation models
• Commercial use included on all paid Pro plans and above

Cons

• Does not support multi-face swap in a single frame — optimised for one face at a time
• Face Swap Pro is locked behind paid plans; free tier limited to 5 daily generations
• Credit system can drain fast on complex or iterative projects
• Generation speed varies: 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on plan and queue load

Evaluation

Higgsfield's face swap stands out for one specific reason: the output accounts for depth and lighting rather than just overlaying a face onto a target. In reviewer-tested outputs, shadow behaviour, skin texture, and lighting direction held consistent between the swapped face and the surrounding scene — something basic tools do not handle well. The key limitation is single-face only: the AI prioritises the closest face to camera in multi-person frames, meaning group content requires individual passes.

Where Higgsfield genuinely separates from dedicated face swap tools is the workflow it enables after the swap. The face-swapped photo can be pushed directly into video generation, animated with lip sync, or used to build a persistent character identity (Soul ID) reusable across an entire content campaign. For marketing teams producing multiple content variants from one character, this is a meaningful difference from a standalone face swap tool.

Pricing (Verified: multiple independent 2026 reviews consistent on these figures. Confirm at higgsfield.ai/pricing before purchasing.)

• Free — 5 face swap generations/day, limited credits, personal use only
• Basic — $9/mo, 150 credits, commercial use, selected models
• Pro — $17.40/mo (annual billing), 600 credits, all models, Face Swap Pro unlocked
• Ultimate — $29.40/mo (annual billing), 1,200 credits, 4 concurrent jobs
• Creator — $119/mo (or ~$49.80/mo annual), 6,000 credits, all models at max resolution

Use Higgsfield when: You need face swap as part of a broader content production workflow — particularly if you want to animate the result, build a reusable character identity, or A/B test different faces across marketing assets without reshooting.

12. DeepFaceLab

DeepFaceLab is the open-source tool behind much of the professional deepfake work seen in film and TV. It trains a custom model on your specific source face from multiple angles, which produces a quality of output that single-pass cloud tools simply cannot match.

Pros

• Highest output quality for long-form video of any tool in this list
• Trains a custom model per source face — maintains consistency across full-length videos
• Completely free and open source, including commercial use
• Handles re-aging, expression control, and occlusion scenarios cloud tools cannot
• Runs entirely locally — no data uploaded anywhere

Cons

• Requires Windows, a capable NVIDIA GPU, Python, and command-line proficiency
• Model training takes hours — not suitable for fast turnaround workflows
• Steep learning curve; poor user choices produce poor output with no safety net
• Not a tool for beginners or anyone who needs results in under an hour

Evaluation

DeepFaceLab's output on a full-length video clip is in a different league from any cloud tool in this comparison.

Because it trains on multiple source images rather than inferring from a single reference photo, the model learns the lighting responses, skin texture, and geometry of the specific face — meaning the swap holds consistency through head rotations, expression changes, and lighting shifts that single-pass tools cannot handle.

This is why it is used commercially for re-aging actors and replacing stunt doubles in post-production.

The tradeoff is everything else. Setup takes time. Training takes hours. Iteration is slow. For anyone who needs a face swap by end of day, DeepFaceLab is the wrong tool.

For anyone producing a professional film-quality product where the face swap cannot look like a face swap, it is the only viable option in this list.

Pricing

Free  Completely free and open source — runs on local hardware, no fees

13. FaceFusion.io (Web Version)

FaceFusion.io is the hosted web version of the FaceFusion open-source project. It makes the same underlying model available in a browser without requiring GPU hardware, Python, or command-line setup.

Pros

• Same model quality as the open-source FaceFusion — high output ceiling
• No local installation, GPU, or technical setup required
• Supports photo and video face swap with HD output
• Credit bundles scale well for higher-volume use (500, 2000, 5000 credits)

Cons

• Loses the core privacy advantage of the open-source version — uploads go to a server
• Credit-based pricing adds friction for iteration-heavy workflows
• If privacy is your reason for choosing FaceFusion, the GitHub version is the right choice — not this

Evaluation

FaceFusion.io serves a clear gap: users who have seen the output quality from the open-source project and want access to it without the installation overhead.

The web interface is clean, the output quality matches the GitHub version on comparable inputs, and the credit system is straightforward. For someone without a capable GPU, this is a legitimate alternative.

The one caveat worth repeating clearly: if privacy was your primary reason for looking at FaceFusion, this version does not preserve it.

Uploads go to facefusion.io's servers. The open-source version on GitHub is the privacy-first option; this is the convenience-first option.

Pricing

Free  Basic access to test the platform

Starter  $9.99/mo — 100 credits, HD output, photo and video face swap

Bundles  500, 2000, 5000 credits available at lower per-credit rates

How We Tested

Each tool was evaluated across the same four test scenarios: a single-face portrait swap, a short talking-head video clip (30 seconds of handheld phone footage), a group photo with three faces, and a low-light source image with the subject at approximately 30 degrees from frontal.

Evaluation criteria: output realism on frontal input, degradation on difficult input (low light, angled face, motion), processing speed, ease of use, and whether published pricing matched what we encountered during actual signup and use. All 13 tools were assessed independently. Magic Hour is our own product and was held to the same criteria as the other 12.

Using Face Swap Technology Responsibly

Face swap technology is convincing enough that outputs can be mistaken for real footage. Always get explicit consent before creating a face swap featuring another person. Never use face swap to create content that could mislead, defame, or harass. Most platforms prohibit swaps involving public figures for non-satirical purposes, and several actively block known public faces.

If you are using face swap for commercial projects, verify that your chosen tool includes commercial use rights on your specific plan tier before distributing the output. Several tools in this list restrict commercial use to paid plans only.

The Bottom Line

Face swap technology in 2026 is genuinely good. The gap between a free tool and a paid one is real, but the gap between paid tools has narrowed significantly. Most of the 13 tools in this list will handle a clean frontal photo swap competently. Where they diverge is on video, difficult input, volume, and what happens when the AI gets it wrong.

For most creators, the decision comes down to this: if you need face swap as one feature within a broader content workflow — photo swap, video swap, lip sync, talking photo, all from a single subscription with credits that never expire — Magic Hour covers more ground at a lower combined cost than any combination of tools in this list. The free plan requires no credit card and gives you enough credits to test the output on your own footage before committing.

Frequently Asked Face Swap App Questions

What is the most realistic face swap app?

Magic Hour delivers the most consistent realism with minimal setup for both photo and video. For video specifically with high-quality source footage, DeepSwap is a close second. For the absolute quality ceiling with full manual control, FaceFusion on local hardware.

Which face swap apps are completely free?

FaceSwapper.ai is the most generous: no signup, no credits, no watermark on photo swaps. FaceFusion on GitHub is completely free with no limitations, but requires local GPU hardware. Snapchat is free for live swaps. DeepSwap, Magic Hour, Pica AI, and Reface all offer free tiers with watermarks or limited credits.

Can I use face swap videos commercially?

Only on tools that explicitly grant commercial use on your plan. Magic Hour grants commercial rights from Creator plan upward. FaceFusion (GitHub) grants full commercial use with no restrictions. FaceSwapper.ai limits commercial use on the free tier. Always check the specific terms of your plan tier before distributing face-swapped content commercially.

Which face swap app works best for video?

For video quality on clean footage, DeepSwap is the strongest pure video tool. For video combined with photo swap and other features in one subscription, Magic Hour. For cinematic or stylized video output, PixVerse. For pro-level long-form deepfake video, DeepFaceLab.

Is there a face swap app with no signup required?

Yes: FaceSwapper.ai works entirely without an account and produces watermark-free photo results. Snapchat requires a standard Snapchat account but no paid subscription for the face swap feature.

What is the difference between photo and video face swap?

Photo face swap replaces a face in a static image: one frame, no motion tracking required. Video face swap must track the face across every frame, handling motion blur, lighting changes, and head movement frame to frame. Video is significantly more computationally intensive, which is why most tools charge more credits for video and why quality drops more sharply on difficult video input compared to photos.
