How to Fix Jagged Edges in AI Face Swaps: A Practical Tip from a Real User
Introduction: The Hidden Challenge Behind Popular Face Swap Tech
As AI image processing gets more advanced, face swap tools have gone mainstream. They're now used widely for short videos, social media content, meme creation, and more. But along with the creative power comes a common issue many users have faced—jagged or rough edges around the swapped face. In this post, we’ll explore the causes of this issue and share a simple yet effective trick discovered by a real user.

Common Face Swap Problem: Jagged Edges
Real User Feedback: Edges Can Kill the Look
Some users reported that after face swapping, the final image showed jagged or torn-looking edges around the face. This can make the output look unpolished and hurt its visual appeal—especially if you're posting to social media.
Why Do Jagged Edges Happen?
Imbalanced Sharpness in Image Blending
Face swapping involves blending parts of two different images. If the algorithm doesn’t blend edges smoothly, it can cause sharp pixel contrasts—what we see as jagged lines.
Pixel Mismatch Between Source and Target Images
If the source face and the target image differ in resolution or lighting, the AI model may struggle to blend them evenly. This issue becomes worse in low-res images or high-contrast backgrounds.
Academic Insight: Poisson Image Editing
A well-known research paper, Poisson Image Editing, introduced a method for preserving texture and light consistency during blending. Many modern face swap models use variations of this to reduce harsh edges and improve realism.
A Proven Fix: The 1-Pixel Blur Trick
Step-by-Step in Adobe Express (Free to Use)
One user shared a super useful hack—adding a 1-pixel blur to the image either before or after swapping. This small adjustment significantly reduced jagged edges. Here’s how to do it in Adobe Express:
- Go to Adobe Express and create a free account;
- Upload your swapped or target image;
- Apply the "Blur" filter and set it to 1 pixel;
- Download your improved image.
Why It Works: The Science of Softening Edges
Even a tiny blur smooths out harsh edges by reducing the contrast between high-frequency pixels. The human eye interprets this as a more natural blend—resulting in a cleaner, more professional-looking image.
Results After Using the Trick with LoveFaceSwap
After applying this tip and running the image through LoveFaceSwap, users saw noticeably better results. The face looked more naturally integrated, with fewer visible lines, making it more post-worthy for video content and socials.
Other Image Optimization Tips
Use Photoshop, Canva, or Other Editors to Soften Edges
If you're aiming for next-level quality, tools like Photoshop or Canva can help. Try feathering, edge softening, or Gaussian blur tools to smooth things out manually.
Always Upload High-Resolution Originals
The higher the resolution of your source images, the better the AI can align and blend facial features. This alone can reduce pixel artifacts significantly.
Pro Tip for Video & GIF Face Swaps
When working with videos or GIFs, apply soft filters or blur effects to keyframes after swapping. This helps maintain a consistent look across frames.
How to Use LoveFaceSwap Efficiently
