3. Set the Intensity
Choose subtle, natural, or strong, then generate and review the result.

Best Photos for Expression Editing
Front-facing, well-lit portraits give the model the clearest facial landmarks to preserve.
A Sharp, Visible Face
Use a photo where the eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and jaw are not covered.
Neutral or Mild Starting Expression
Subtle source expressions provide more room for a controlled smile, surprise, or serious look.
Even Facial Lighting
Balanced light helps retain natural skin texture and expression shadows.
Facial Expression Changer Limitations
The tool changes expression, but it cannot recover facial detail that is missing or heavily obstructed.
Covered Facial Features
Masks, hands, hair, and strong shadows over the mouth or eyes reduce accuracy.
Very Strong Intensity
Extreme expressions can slightly change fine facial proportions or create less natural teeth.
Multiple Faces
Use a portrait with one primary face to avoid applying the change to the wrong person.
Focused Expression Editing
Change the facial expression and preserve everything unrelated to it.
Seven Expression Choices
Choose smiles, serious, surprised, wink, neutral, or custom.
Three Strength Levels
Control whether the change feels subtle, natural, or strong.
Identity Preservation
Prioritizes the same face, skin tone, age, and recognizable features.
Targeted Editing
Keeps the hairstyle, clothing, pose, background, and crop unchanged.
Natural Facial Anatomy
