Section 2.1: Adding the Face Swap Plugin

Next, it's crucial to enhance your channel with the InsightFace bot. This free tool has excellent algorithms for face swapping. Simply invite the bot to your server using the provided link.

Once the bot is integrated, select any photo of yourself and type the command /saveid yourid followed by your photo in the Discord chat.

This will allow the bot to utilize your image in the next steps. For optimal results, it’s best to choose a high-quality portrait, ideally one without glasses or distracting elements—an ID photo works best.

Section 2.2: Creating Your Avatar

Now, it’s time to unleash your creativity! Choose any AI image generator application to create the avatar of your dreams. For this guide, I’ll use Leonardo.AI to design a hacker avatar in a hoodie, reflecting a tech-savvy vibe.

Other great options include MidJourney or Lexica. Once your ideal image is created, upload it to your Discord channel. Right-click on the image, navigate to Apps, and select INSwapper.

With just a few seconds of processing, your avatar will be ready to impress! Let’s take a look at an example featuring Emilia Clarke:

Feel free to experiment with various images; the results can be quite remarkable. A high-quality original photo will yield even better outcomes than the example provided, which used an AI-generated image.
