Seedance 2.5 IS HERE · Nano Banana 2 & GPT Image 2.5 UNLIMITED UNTIL October 10Upgrade

Overview

Wan 2.2 Animate Replace is a video AI model that swaps a character inside an existing clip with a new one, using just a single reference photo as input. The problem it solves is specific: you have footage you like, but the person in the scene needs to change. Whether you are a content creator iterating on a video series or a marketer testing different character appearances, the model handles the blend automatically without manual masking or compositing. On Picasso IA, the whole process runs in the browser with no software to install.

How It Works

Upload your source video containing the character you want to replace, along with a clear photo of the new character
Choose the output resolution: 720p for higher visual quality or 480p if you need faster processing
Toggle the fast generation option on to get a quicker preview before committing to a full-quality output
The model reads the original character's position and movement in each frame, then composites the new figure into the same space
Download the finished video with the audio from the original clip already merged in

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need programming skills or technical knowledge to use this? No, just open Wan 2.2 Animate Replace on Picasso IA, adjust the settings you want, and hit generate.

Is it free to try? Yes, you can run Wan 2.2 Animate Replace without a paid subscription. New users receive credits to test it on their own footage before committing to a plan.

How long does it take to get results? Processing time depends on the video length and the resolution you choose. A short clip at 480p typically finishes in under a minute, while 720p takes a bit longer. Enabling fast generation cuts the wait on preview runs.

What output format does the model produce? The model outputs a video file with the replacement character composited in. Audio from the original clip is merged into the output by default, so the file is ready to drop into any editing timeline.

Can I reproduce the same result across multiple runs? Yes. Set a specific seed value and reuse it to get consistent outputs, which is useful when you want to batch-generate multiple character variants of the same scene.

What kind of character photo works best? A clear photo with good lighting and a visible upper body tends to give the most accurate replacement. Front-facing shots with a neutral background produce the cleanest blend into the scene.

Where can I use the videos I generate? The output videos are yours to use in social media posts, presentations, marketing materials, or any other project. There are no watermarks on the file.
