How to put your face in a TikTok
TikTok links go into the same composer as Instagram Reels — the placeholder names both, and the path behind them is identical. You build an avatar from one photo, paste a public TikTok URL, and the product watches the video before it plans anything. The analysis is free and arrives as a plan with a price on it, so nothing is charged until you have seen what we understood.

Five steps, and only the first two are yours
- 1
Create your avatar from one photo
Open Avatars and upload a single sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo. That is the whole setup — no filming, no voice recording, no training session. Building an avatar is free; credits are only spent when you generate a video.

Paste the TikTok link into the composer
The same composer accepts both platforms — its placeholder reads "instagram.com/reel/... or tiktok.com/...". Copy the link out of the TikTok app's share sheet and paste it in, then press Make it. The video has to be publicly viewable.

Wait out the free analysis
We read the video itself rather than its caption or its sounds page: the scene structure, the movement and the pacing all come out of the source. It takes roughly 30 to 90 seconds and costs nothing.

Read the plan, then confirm
You see what we understood, which avatar will be used, the credit cost and an ETA before anything is spent — "Looks good — continue", then "Confirm & Generate".

Collect the video from your Library
About 25 minutes later a vertical MP4 lands in your Library with your face across every scene. Any single scene can be regenerated on its own if you dislike it.

What runs under the autopilot
HappyHorse 1.0 Video Edit
Product defaultThe default for a narrative, talking-head or lifestyle TikTok. You do not choose it; the router does, from what it saw in the video.
The trade-off: It edits the source rather than inventing a new one, so the result inherits the original's framing and lighting — including its flaws.
Specs and credit price →Kling 3.0 Pro Motion Control (standalone)
We tested itThe TikTok is a single-shot dance and you want to drive the motion transfer yourself through the Copy a dance tool.
The trade-off: It transfers whole-frame movement, which is the wrong shape for a multi-cut TikTok — those go through the per-scene face-replace path instead.
Specs and credit price →These picks come from our own side-by-side runs and from what the tools actually default to. The specs and credit prices live on each model's own page and are generated from the catalogue, so they cannot drift out of date here. We do not quote anyone else's review, benchmark or price.
Your first video from $0.99
A one-time purchase — 35 credits land in your balance immediately. No subscription, nothing renews, and if a generation fails on our side the credits come back automatically.
What this does not do
- It does not post to TikTok for you. We never ask for your Instagram, TikTok or YouTube password, never read your DMs and never publish anything for you. You download the file and post it yourself.
- It does not work from private, region-locked or deleted videos.
- It does not license the sound. Whatever audio you put under the result is cleared by you or by the platform's own library, never by us.
- Tools that copy movement or speech out of someone else's video ask you to tick a rights confirmation before the Generate button becomes active. Copying a format is ordinary practice; republishing someone's actual footage is not.
