DeepFaceLive - Real-Time AI Face Swapping
Visit Tool →
DeepFaceLive Brief overview
DeepFaceLive is a free, open‑source AI tool that performs real-time face swapping on Windows PCs. It is designed mainly for live streaming, video calls, and creative video content, letting users replace their face with another face on the fly using a webcam or pre‑recorded video.
The project runs locally on your machine, uses deep learning models for face detection and alignment, and can work with pre‑trained face models or custom models created with DeepFaceLab. The original GitHub repository has been archived and is now read‑only, but the software is still available via downloadable builds and mirrors.
Simple how‑to‑use
- Download and launch
- Get DeepFaceLive from the official GitHub or a trusted mirror and extract the archive.
- Run the included application for Windows (no complex install is normally required if you use the prebuilt package).
- Set up camera and video source
- In the app, select your webcam or a local video file as the input source.
- Choose a virtual camera output so video apps (Zoom, Discord, OBS, etc.) can see DeepFaceLive as a camera.
- Pick or load a face model
- Choose from the built‑in library of ready‑to‑use face models, or load a compatible model you have trained separately in DeepFaceLab.
- Adjust and preview
- Tweak basic settings (face alignment, blending, model choice) until the swap looks acceptable in the preview window.
- Select DeepFaceLive’s virtual camera as your video device in your streaming or conferencing software.
- Use responsibly
- Only use faces and footage you have the right to use. Many jurisdictions regulate deepfakes, especially for impersonation, harassment, or fraud.
Key features and functions
- Real‑time face swap
Swaps your face live at video‑call or streaming frame rates, rather than rendering offline. - Pre‑trained public face models
Comes with a library of ready‑to‑use models so users can test the tool without training their own networks. - Custom model support (via DeepFaceLab)
For higher quality or closer identity matching, you can train your own face models with DeepFaceLab and use them inside DeepFaceLive. - Face Animator module
Allows you to animate a static face image using your live facial movements or a video, useful for avatars, memes, and stylized content. - Integration with common video tools
Works as a virtual camera, so it can be used with OBS Studio, Zoom, Skype, Discord, Microsoft Teams and similar apps for live streams and calls. - System requirements
Designed for Windows 10, with a DirectX 12‑compatible GPU (RTX‑class or similar recommended), a modern CPU with AVX, and sufficient RAM/paging file for the deep learning models.
DeepFaceLive Pricing
DeepFaceLive is free and open‑source software released under the GPL‑3.0 license. There are no subscription fees or paid tiers for using the core application; you simply download and run it on your own hardware.
