IU Deepfake
An IU deepfake is the ballad-and-drama recast: fan edits want one of the most familiar faces in Korean music on a stage or scene that never booked her. Keep it marked as AI and fan-made. Upload a target photo or video — the IU source face is already loaded and cannot be swapped out.

An IU deepfake is the ballad-and-drama recast: fan edits want one of the most familiar faces in Korean music on a stage or scene that never booked her. Keep it marked as AI and fan-made. This page is a dedicated IU deepfake tool, not a generic uploader. The source face is predetermined: you do not pick a photo of IU, you do not replace it, and the portrait itself is never shown on the site. You only bring the target — the photo or video where the face should land.
IU is South Korean singer-songwriter and actress, known for chart-topping ballads, concert tours, and drama roles. That matters for an IU deepfake because the lighting people remember — press conferences, stadiums, red carpets, streams — is rarely the lighting in the clip you drop in. The processing pipeline still has to match skin tone, head angle, and expression to the target, which is why a locked, consistent source beats a random screenshot you found in five seconds.
An image IU deepfake costs 15 credits and usually finishes in seconds. A video IU deepfake costs 20 credits because every frame gets its own detection pass, and short clips typically land in one to five minutes. Failed jobs refund automatically. Nothing you make is published to a gallery, and the locked source is used only to run your job.
What This IU Deepfake Tool Does
Source face is already set
The IU source is prepared on our side and locked in the studio. You cannot upload a different face on this page, which keeps the IU deepfake consistent and keeps the portrait off the public page.
Photos and videos, same engine
The same face-swap pipeline as the homepage. A still IU deepfake is 15 credits. A video IU deepfake is 20 credits and tracks the face through motion, talk, and turns.
Optional face enhancement
Turn on face enhance to recover skin texture and eye detail after the swap. Frame enhance upscales the whole target if the clip started soft. Neither option changes the credit price.
Advanced face-swap controls
Swapper model, pixel boost, detector score, mask blur, and output quality are all in the advanced panel. Most jobs never need them. Hard lighting mismatches do.
Private processing
Uploads go to presigned storage for your account. The locked IU source never appears as an image on this page, and results are yours to download — no watermark on a paid plan, no public gallery.
How to Make an IU Deepfake
IU's face is ready
The source slot is locked. You do not upload IU. The prepared face is used only when you generate, and it is not displayed on the website.
Upload the target
Drop in the photo (up to 10MB) or video (up to 100MB) where the face should be placed. The target sets pose, lighting, and framing.
Generate and download
Hit swap. An image IU deepfake is 15 credits. A video IU deepfake is 20. Preview, then download the full-resolution file.
Every visitor gets 20 welcome credits the moment the tool loads, with no signup and no card. That covers one image or one video job. There is no daily refill, so a video job or a second still needs a paid plan or a credit pack.
What People Use an IU Deepfake For
An IU deepfake is a format. These are the jobs it actually does well when the target is yours and the result is labeled as an edit.
Music-video recasts
A chorus clip or a tour video that wants this voice-era look on a performance the original cut never had.
Album-art and thumbnail mockups
Cover parodies and 1:1 thumbs that need a specific pop face in a composition you already built.
Fan edits and era swaps
Put an older era face on a new stage, or the other way around. The source is locked; you only bring the target.
Getting a Convincing IU Deepfake
Match the head angle to the locked source
The locked IU source is a clear, front-facing portrait. If your target is turned three-quarters away, the model has to invent a cheek it has not seen, and invented geometry is what people notice. Pick a target whose head angle is at least in the same neighborhood.
Expression is the second tell. An open-mouth laugh on a closed-mouth target produces a jaw that does not agree with the lips. If the target is speaking, accept that a still portrait will fight you and raise mask blur rather than expecting a perfect mouth interior.
Let the target set the resolution
The IU source is sharp enough. Extra megapixels on a 720p target do not survive the downsample. What helps is a target where the face occupies a decent share of the frame, plus face enhance if the clip is soft.
Turning on both enhancers costs time, not extra credits. Leave them off only when you want the grain of the original preserved.
Change one thing when it looks wrong
A hard seam on an IU deepfake means the mask is tight — raise blur. A face that looks pasted on means the lighting gap was too wide, and the fix is a different target, not a different celebrity. If the tool grabs the wrong person in a crowd, switch the selector to reference mode.
On video, flicker usually means the detector score is too high for the motion blur. Lower it one step. Change one parameter per attempt.
Checklist Before You Spend Credits on IU
Almost every weak IU deepfake is a target problem, not a model problem. The source is fixed. What you upload is the variable.
Fifteen seconds on this list saves the three wasted attempts most people burn learning the same lesson.
- Target face is large enough in the frame to hold detail
- Head angle roughly matches a front-facing IU portrait
- Expressions agree, especially open or closed mouths
- Lighting comes from a similar direction
- File is under 10MB for images or 100MB for video
- You will label the result as an edit if it travels
Rules for an IU Deepfake
This page locks an IU source so you can run an IU deepfake without hunting for a photo. The portrait is not shown on the website, and it is not a license to impersonate IU, to pass the file as a real photograph, or to make sexual content with a real person's likeness. Parody, commentary, fan edits, and labeled entertainment are the intended uses.
Minors are never allowed. Deceptive political packages, harassment, and non-consensual intimate imagery are prohibited. Accounts used to target or defraud a real person lose access. Likeness and publicity rules differ by country — the picture, not the tool, carries the legal risk.
IU Deepfake FAQ
How much does an IU deepfake cost?
An image IU deepfake costs 15 credits. A video IU deepfake costs 20 credits, and the price is the same whether the source face is one you uploaded or one from the locked library. Every visitor starts with 20 free credits and no signup, which covers one image or one video. Failed jobs refund automatically. No watermark on a paid plan.
Can I change the IU source face?
No. On this page the source is locked to IU. That is the product: a one-click IU deepfake where you only upload the target. For a different person, open their page or use the generic AI Face Swap tool.
Why don't I see a photo of IU?
The portrait is used as the source for the job and is not displayed on the website. You still get a usable IU deepfake — the face is applied when you generate — without hosting a public gallery of celebrity photos.
How long does a video IU deepfake take?
Usually one to five minutes, driven by clip length and frame rate. The page keeps polling and shows elapsed time.
What files can I upload?
Only the target. Images up to 10MB (JPEG, PNG, WebP) or video up to 100MB (MP4, MOV, WebM). The source is already set.
Is an IU deepfake legal?
It depends on what you make and where you are. Parody and commentary have broad protection in many countries. Sexual imagery of a real person without consent, commercial use of a likeness without a licence, and synthetic media designed to deceive voters are illegal in a growing number of places. Label the IU deepfake as edited when it travels.
Do you keep my uploads?
The target goes to private storage so the worker can read it. The locked IU source stays on our side and is never rendered on this page. Results sit in your job history. Nothing is used for training.
