How to Add Your Face to an Animated GIF

To pull off great online pranks, you need more than wit—you need the right tools. That's why we at NeoTeo want to introduce you to a platform called Familiar, available for Android and iOS. The app lets you grab a GIF with a human face and swap its face with ease.

Familiar uses faceswap technology (face swapping) to place one face over another so precisely that you'll barely notice the difference. This makes for the perfect prank material.

How to Add Your Face to a GIF

First, install Familiar on your mobile device. When you open the interface, you'll need to add an image of a face (it can be yours). Next, find the right GIF from Familiar's built-in GIF database.

When choosing the photo and GIF, here are a few tips:

• The point of view from which the photo was taken should be almost identical.
• The skin tone of the image and the GIF should be similar.
• Try to make the face fit the body.

Note: Of course, all these recommendations are for a perfect fit between the photo and the GIF. But you can also take everything to the grotesque.

The platform will only take about 40 seconds to create the GIF with the face replacement. When it's done, you'll see how Familiar has created a spectacular new GIF. Familiar is a great environment for adding your face to a GIF, and in this way, insert your face into iconic figures of humanity. Familiar is a completely free platform, but you can switch to a commercial plan to remove the watermark or create GIFs in bulk.

Note: If you care about your privacy, Familiar's developers (the company is Coinspring) assure us that they will not share our images with anyone (it appears in an alert when installing the environment).
