Facemint review
A flexible pay-per-use API for high-resolution face swaps, with watermarked output.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Facemint is a cloud API for developers building creative tools, video-editing applications, content moderation workflows, and related production integrations. It supports face swapping across images, GIFs, and videos, with options for targeted or full-face swaps. REST endpoints cover task creation, status retrieval, and cancellation, while asynchronous processing and status polling fit workflows that do not require an immediate response.
Pricing is usage-based rather than subscription-based. The Image plan costs $0.002 per image and includes face enhancement. The GIF plan costs $0.002 per 100KB, with face enhancement included by default. Video costs $0.0045 per second, with the price varying by face count, resolution, and enhancement. The published plans show no free tier, so teams should estimate media volume before integrating. This structure suits applications that prefer usage-based billing over fixed subscriptions, particularly when image or GIF processing is the primary workload.
The API has useful controls for production integrations, including video trimming by start and end times, optional video face enhancement, an NSFW detection toggle, output selection from 480p to 8K, and video thumbnail extraction. The documentation states that generated content is stored for seven days, and a watermark appears on all face-swapped media. That watermark makes Facemint less suitable for workflows requiring unbranded final assets. Developers who need API-only access, multiple media formats, asynchronous jobs, and high-resolution output should consider it; teams seeking a free plan or watermark-free media should choose an alternative.
