Face swapping has become a trending activity, allowing people to see how their faces would look in different scenarios, characters, or even combined with other people's features.

With the introduction of AI-based platforms like Midjourney, face swapping is now accessible to almost anyone. Here's a step-by-step guide to performing a face swap on Midjourney using [InsightFace](https://insightface.ai/).

### 1\. **Invite Insight Face Bot to Your Server**

You'll need to [invite the Insight Face Bot](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1090660574196674713&permissions=274877945856&scope=bot) to your server to begin the process.

Once added, the bot should appear in the online list on your server.

Detailed instructions on creating your server can be found [**here**](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/204849977-How-do-I-create-a-server-) and how to invite MidJourney to your server [here](https://docs.midjourney.com/docs/invite-the-bot).

### 2\. **Register the Identity with "/saveid" Command**

Upload an image and register the Identity with the command `/saveid` for subsequent facial replacement and editing.

Front-view, high-quality ID photos without glasses or heavy bangs are preferred.
