# 🚶😬Change Facial Expressions API

The Change Facial Expressions API leverages AI-driven synthesis to modify a subject’s facial expression in a portrait image. Submit an input image and select a target expression code; the API returns a new image with the desired emotion applied, encoded in Base64.
