If you want to know how to use a gender swap filter, VidMage makes it simple for you. You can upload a photo, choose whether you want a male-to-female or female-to-male transformation, and let the AI create the result.

How to Gender Swap a Photo on Mac Offline
VidMage also offers a Mac app for users who want to process gender swaps locally instead of uploading files to the online tool.
The Mac app requires an Apple Silicon Mac with an M1 chip or newer. This includes Mac with M1, M2, M3, and later Apple Silicon chips.
Follow these steps to change gender in a photo offline on Mac:

Step 2: Add a male face if the original photo is of a female, and VidMage will automatically apply changes.

Gender Swap File Formats and Free Limits
VidMage supports several formats depending on the type of content you want to transform.
For photos, you can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WEBP files. For videos, supported formats include MP4, MOV, and M4V, while animated GIFs are also supported.
You can try the online Gender Swap tool without signing up. The free allowance includes:
- 15 photo swaps per day
- 20 seconds of video per day
- 2 GIF swaps per day
- No watermark on free results
If you need more capacity, VidMage Pro supports videos up to 5 minutes, 4K output, and additional monthly credits.
Is the VidMage Mac App Different From the Online Tool
The main difference is how VidMage Mac App processes your files.
The online Gender Swap tool processes uploads through VidMage's online service, while the Mac app processes files locally on the device. This makes the Mac version useful when you want offline processing or prefer not to upload private images to the cloud.
The VidMage Mac app requires an Apple Silicon Mac, starting with M1.
