A “Jean Phil filter” usually means your face with the bob, curled mustache and suit. In Jean Phil Video, that starts with a source scene and Replace face only. It is a video edit rather than a standalone photo makeover.
The useful question is what you want to keep from each input: your photo supplies the identity, while the scene supplies a performance and an existing look.
Keep the scene's look, or bring your own?
The What would you like to replace? control offers two different editing scopes.
Your face with the scene's styling
Choose Replace face only when you want the source hair, clothes and body around your own facial identity. For example, a portrait of you in a T-shirt can be a face reference for a character wearing a suit. You do not need to buy the costume for that request.
Here, the photo's most important details are the face shape, eyes, nose and mouth. The source's most important details are the bob, mustache, outfit and framing.
Your character's whole appearance
Choose Replace character when the photo's hairstyle and clothing belong in the result too. This suits a portrait of an original character whose burgundy jacket and short dark hair should travel into a new performance.
The source still provides the scene and action, but you are asking to change its lead more broadly. Pick this route because you want the uploaded character's look, not as a stronger version of face-only replacement.
Three ways to make the choice
“I want my face in the pink suit.” Choose a pink-suit scene and face-only replacement. The suit comes from the scene, not your portrait.
“I want my own hair and jacket in that performance.” Use character replacement with a photo that clearly shows those features.
“I want a brown suit instead of a pink one.” Choose a brown-suit reference first. The replacement switch controls how the photo is used; it does not select a new costume color.
If you are trying to identify a particular version, use the visual comparison before choosing the source.
Choose the reference for the silhouette
For the classic look, preview Cafe terrace or The steps. Look for the blond bob, curled mustache and brown patterned tailoring in the actual footage. A tighter view gives you more face detail; a wider view shows more of the outfit and movement.
For bright pink tailoring, the pink-suit template guide compares the short night selfie with the full performance. Office lobby dance offers a different choice if you want more of the body in view.
Choose from the camera angle and visible styling together. A close selfie and a full-body dance can share a suit while giving very different impressions of the same face.
Match the photo to your decision
For face-only replacement, prioritize an unobstructed adult face in even light. Keep the eyes visible and use a front or mild three-quarter angle. Clothing matters less than facial detail.
For whole-character replacement, also show the hairstyle, neckline and clothing you intend to use. A face cropped tightly at the chin gives little information about the rest of the character.
Use your own likeness or a subject who has agreed to the transformation and its intended sharing. Once you have chosen the scope, follow the photo-to-video tutorial for the upload and generation steps.
Check where face and costume meet
The hairline, mustache, jaw and shirt collar are useful places to inspect because they sit at the boundary between the face and its surrounding look. Pause during a head turn and check that the connection remains plausible.
Compare a face-only result with your portrait for identity and the source for styling. For a whole-character result, compare the hair and clothes with your uploaded character as well.
Neither scope guarantees exact preservation. If the face is right but the costume is wrong, check the scene and scope before changing your portrait. If the styling works but the person is hard to recognize, work on the face reference instead.
