VidMage is a Magic Hour alternative for saved-file face swap. You drop the MP4 already on disk, then a photo or GIF can follow.
Swap Face Now
Magic Hour is a browser AI studio that sells 100+ video, image, and audio tools under one credit plan. Face swap sits in that studio for photo, video, and GIF, and video face swap also accepts a YouTube URL.
While Magic Hour can paste a YouTube URL into video face swap, VidMage runs the MP4 you already hold. Open VidMage when the source sits on disk.

Magic Hour is different from VidMage because Creator export sits at 1024px, however VidMage subscriber video lists 4K. 4K on Magic Hour sits on Business. Open VidMage when the paid cut should print 4K without that Business seat.
Magic Hour free outputs stay personal use. VidMage lets you use generated images, video, and audio commercially when you own the source. Open VidMage after you confirm you own those files.
Magic Hour face-swap pages state uploads are not used to train models, and Magic Hour may still use prompts, uploads, or assets to improve products. VidMage does not use user media or prompts to train. Open VidMage when that no-training rule should be one line.
Magic Hour free photo face swap prints 5 stills a day with no watermark. VidMage reprints 15 stills a day. Open VidMage when the morning still quota should be larger.
Magic Hour Creator accepts uploads up to 2GB. Paid VidMage video lists 1024MB and 300s. Honor that larger Creator bin. Open VidMage when the talking take already fits the 1024MB paid row.
VidMage exclusive Mac app can finish the clip on a compatible Apple Silicon machine. Official Magic Hour pages do not list a Mac client. Open VidMage when the last pass should stay on that machine.
