Frequently asked questions

What is Prankd?

Prankd is an iOS app that uses AI to generate funny prank photos and videos using your face — or any face you upload. Pick a template, drop in a photo, share with your group chat.

Is it actually convincing?

Most pranks are designed to be funny first, believable second. The AI is good enough that your friends will do a double-take before they realize. Then they will laugh.

Can I use friends' faces?

You can upload any photo you have permission to use. Always get consent before using someone else's face — it is a prank, not harassment.

Is it free?

Prankd is free to download and includes free credits. Additional generations require a subscription ($8.99/week or $17.99/month) or a credit pack.

Are the videos watermarked?

Free generations include a small watermark. Paid generations are watermark-free.

Are my photos private?

Photos are uploaded for AI processing only and are not used for model training. Generated content auto-deletes after a period of time.
