Unboring by Reface is a browser-based AI media editor for restyling videos and images, swapping faces, and animating photos. It is aimed at short, playful content rather than frame-accurate professional visual effects.
Main Unboring Features
Video restyle
Upload an MP4 or MOV clip and apply a visual style such as anime, sketch, cyberpunk, low poly, voxel, clay, or paper cut. The original motion drives the result.
Image restyle
Transform supported images into cartoon, illustration, anime, clay, pixel, fantasy, or other preset looks. Strong source lighting and a clear subject generally improve consistency.
Face swap
Replace faces in supported photos or short videos. Use only your own face or a person who has given permission. Face swaps should not be used for deceptive endorsements, harassment, fraud, or impersonation.
Photo animation
Animate a clear portrait with preset songs, speech, or movements. The tool works best with a visible, front-facing face and uncomplicated background.
How to Restyle a Video
- Trim the source to the strongest short section.
- Upload the MP4 or MOV file.
- Select an available style.
- Generate a short test.
- Check faces, hands, clothing, objects, and backgrounds.
- Try another style when identity or motion breaks down.
- Download the result and finish it in a video editor.
Pricing and Processing Limits
Unboring currently lists Basic and Premium subscriptions, with lower effective monthly prices on annual billing. Paid benefits include no watermark, priority processing, premium support, and access to restyle and other Reface tools. Pricing is regional and can change.
The official FAQ currently lists up to 15 seconds for face-swap video and up to 60 seconds for restyling. It also warns that processing can take up to about two minutes for each second of restyled video and that only one restyle may be processed at a time. Confirm live limits before purchasing.
Quality Checklist
- Use sharp footage without heavy compression.
- Keep the subject visible and avoid long occlusions.
- Test fast movement before processing a long clip.
- Inspect face identity and hand shape frame-by-frame.
- Check edges around hair, clothing, and props.
- Do not rely on one render for an important campaign.
- Keep the original media and editable project.
Safety, Consent, and Rights
Reface states that sexual, violent, political, and criminal scenes are prohibited. Users should also obtain permission for every recognizable person, avoid deceptive use, and disclose transformed media when context could be misleading. Owning the output does not automatically provide rights to the source footage, music, brands, characters, or another person’s likeness.

Is Unboring Worth It?
Unboring is useful for fast social experiments, anime restyles, playful face swaps, and animated portraits. It is less suitable for long-form work or shots that require exact identity and frame consistency. Test the free or lowest-cost path with your own footage before subscribing.
