Stream as a different face on Twitch or YouTube without revealing your identity.
Create funny videos or memes by animating a still photo with your real-time facial expressions.
Use pre-trained celebrity or character faces instantly during video calls for entertainment.
Requires PyTorch with CUDA, DirectX 12 drivers, and pre-trained face-swap models; Windows-only with GPU strongly recommended.
DeepFaceLive is a real-time face swap tool for Windows PCs that works during live streams or video calls. Think of it like a digital mask, it replaces your face (or a face in a video) with a different one, all happening live as the camera captures you. There are two main ways to use it. The first is through pre-trained face models: the project comes with a collection of ready-made face identities you can swap onto yourself instantly, no setup required. The second method lets you use a single photo of any face as the swap target. If you want even higher quality results, you can train your own custom face model using a companion project called DeepFaceLab and then load it into DeepFaceLive. There's also a Face Animator module, which takes a still photo of a face and animates it in real time using your own facial movements from a webcam. It's designed for fun videos, memes, or streaming. You'd use this if you're a content creator who wants to appear on camera as a different face, a streamer who wants novelty or privacy, or just someone experimenting with deepfake technology on their home PC. The software is written in Python and uses machine learning models to perform the face detection and blending. It requires a Windows 10 machine with a DirectX 12-compatible graphics card, a modern processor, and at least 4GB of RAM. A mid-to-high-end graphics card is recommended for smooth real-time performance.
