How to swap the model on a photo

Model swap takes a worn photo you already have and regenerates it with a different model wearing the same product. Use it to widen the casting of a photo shoot without configuring it again.

How to swap a model

1. Open Model swap

In the sidebar, open Studio and click Model swap — or use the Model swap tile on your dashboard.

2. Add the worn photo

The first step is Worn photos. Upload the shot you want to recast with the Upload an image card at the start of the grid — a photo of the garment already worn, JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 30 MB.

You can also recast a photo Veeton generated: pick it from the grid of your existing results, using the search box or the filters for Source (photo shoot or editorial), Liked only and Archived.

3. Choose the model

Pick the model who should wear the product, then click Choose model.

To steer the result, write what you want in the optional Instructions box — Short wavy hair, tied back, a soft smile, keep the earrings. It applies to every image in the launch and covers the model’s look: hair, expression, makeup, accessories. The garments always stay exactly as they are in your photo.

4. Angle shot and background — optional

Angle shot and Background are both marked Optional, so a worn photo and a model are enough to launch. Left empty, each source image keeps its own background and Veeton imposes no new framing. Set either one to override. Under My backgrounds you’ll find your own colors and the photos you uploaded or generated: Veeton places the model inside the photo and matches the light to it. You can pick several angle shots at once: each source image comes back once per angle, so 2 photos × 3 angles launch 6 images.

On your own models, angle shots and backgrounds (not Veeton’s), the Filters menu has a Created by row that keeps only what one member of your organization created: Me, or a teammate by name. It only appears once at least two members have created some, and anything created before October 2026 has no recorded creator.

You can also set the format (aspect ratio) from the bottom-left control. It starts on Auto, your brand’s default for this workflow.

Click Swap model to launch. From 5 images, a confirmation shows the number of images and their cost in credits before anything is launched.

Review the result

Results open with a before / after view, labelled Original and Swapped. Download from the same panel. Past runs stay in the History panel.

If a run only partly succeeds, Veeton keeps the images that failed selected along with your settings, so you can relaunch just those in one click.

How swapped images are exported

In an export zip, swapped images are grouped by the photo they were made from.

• A photo you uploaded: a folder named after that photo, inside the project’s folder — or at the top of the zip when the swap is in no project. A swap of DR-204_1.jpg in the project Spring Campaign exports as Spring-Campaign/DR-204_1/DR-204_1.webp. Photos with the same name in the same project share one folder, so uploading the same file again for another swap keeps everything together.
• A photo from a Veeton photo shoot: the swap goes in that product’s folder, next to the original, with _swap added — DR-204_front_swap.webp beside DR-204_front.webp. It follows your naming template, like the original; if the template uses the Tool Name token, that token reads Model Swap for the swap and Photo Shoot for the original, so the two are filed apart.
• An editorial image: the swap goes in the project’s Editorial folder — or an Editorial folder at the top of the zip when the editorial image is in no project — next to the original, with _swap added — editorial_1234_swap.webp beside editorial_1234.webp.
• Several swaps of the same photo in one export are numbered in the order you made them: DR-204_1.webp, DR-204_1_2.webp, DR-204_1_3.webp.
• Edit with AI results sit next to the swap they were made from, ending in _edited_1, _edited_2…: DR-204_1_2_edited_1.webp is the first edit of the second swap.

Swaps of uploaded photos do not follow your naming template: an uploaded photo has no product or angle to fill it. A swap whose source photo has no usable name exports in a Model-swap folder, inside the project’s folder or at the top of the zip when the swap is in no project, as modelswap_ followed by a number.

Good to know

• Model swap costs 10 credits per image produced — one per source image and per angle shot
• You can edit swapped results afterwards with Edit with AI
