Akool is a generative AI platform for personalized visual marketing and advertising. It is best known for Face Swap, a tool that swaps faces in photos and videos, but the platform covers much more, including video generation, image generation, avatars, talking photos, video translation and voice tools.
The company says its mission is to democratize visual storytelling and simplify video creation so businesses can produce personalized visuals easily. Its homepage cites 300M+ asset creations and says Fortune 500 companies use it. Those figures come from Akool itself and were not independently checked.
Akool runs in the browser and is organized around separate tools, such as Face Swap, Video Generator, Talking Photo and Video Translation. Users upload photos, videos or scripts, choose a model or template, and generate a result. In the video generator, prompts can be refined with camera movement, shot type, expression, atmosphere and light settings.
Usage is measured in credits. The homepage shows Face Swap from 4+ credits, Motion Swap from 2+, Head Swap from 5+ and Hair Swap from 6+. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance, and extra credit packs and add-ons are offered for more credits, faster generation or higher concurrency.
The swap studio covers face, character, motion, head, hair and clothing swaps. The pricing page also lists multi-face detection, re-age, face enhance and live face swap with session limits that grow by plan.
Video tools include image-to-video, text-to-video, video-to-video and reference-to-video, plus a Model Hub with Seedance, Kling, Wan, MiniMax, Veo and Sora models. Video translation supports 155+ languages with lip-sync. Avatar tools include avatar video, streaming avatar and talking photo. Developers can use an OpenAPI, a CLI and an MCP CLI.
