Editor's notes

More context from AI BirdView

Most face swap services upload your media to a server. Swapface takes a different route, running as a desktop app so footage and photos are processed on your own computer, which also makes real-time swapping for live streams practical. It covers stills, clips and live video in one place, so creators do not need a separate tool for each format.

Live face swapping designed for streamers
Single-person, multi-person and full head swaps on photos
Face swaps in videos and GIFs for memes, sketches and character work
Local processing, which the developer says keeps data on your machine
Native apps for Windows and Apple silicon Macs

Swapface is best for streamers, comedy creators and video editors who want character transformations without sending media to the cloud. A practical tip: test with your own face and usual lighting setup first, since even lighting tends to help real-time results, and only use other people's faces with their clear permission. Deepfake rules vary by country and platform, so label swapped content and read the site's usage policy before publishing anything.
