Deep-Live-Cam vs FaceSwap AI - Photo Editor

Deep-Live-Cam is an open-source desktop tool for real-time face swapping and creating virtual personas. Its maker describes it as offline software that needs no internet connection, uploads, or online dependencies. The stated audiences include streamers, filmmakers, and content creators, with uses such as storytelling, virtual avatars, privacy-conscious streaming, and digital effects. The Lite edition offers a one-click installer with no dependencies. The Source edition requires manual installation using Git, Python, and Pip, alongside user-managed CUDA, C++, and FFmpeg dependencies. Ultimate lists a virtual camera, rendering optimization, camera refresh, face enhancers, multiple masks, and a real-time video player. Listed models include Inswapper, ReSwapper, Hyperswap, and FluxRT, with output options up to 1080p. OBS is a dependency for the Ultimate virtual camera; Lite can use Decart for full-body processing with a user-provided API key. Windows plans require Windows 10 or higher, while the Mac plan requires Apple Silicon. Paid monthly plans start at $22 a month for Nvidia or AMD; Mac costs $32 a month.

FaceSwap AI - Photo Editor offers browser and desktop tools for swapping faces in photos, plus a desktop app for video. Its free browser tool uses deep learning to swap faces between two photos, requires no installation, and accepts uploads up to 6 MB each. A separate browser tool lets users choose source and target faces within one image. The desktop image app adds batch and folder-wide processing, GPU acceleration, and exports without watermarks. It supports PNG, JPG, JPEG, JPE, TIFF, BMP, and WebP. The video app swaps selected faces in files and supports batch processing; listed formats include MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, GIF, WebP, RMVB, PNG, JPG, JPEG, and BMP. The desktop app page says the software collects no data and works without an internet connection; the website privacy policy says photos and information are not stored on its server. Windows requires version 10.0 or later, an Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7, 8 GB RAM, and 512 GB HDD. Mac requires macOS 12 or later on Apple M1 or newer. The browser tool is free.
