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.
