FaceSwap.dev
An open-source desktop application that enables users to perform face swaps in images and videos with a graphical user interface.
Price: Free
Description
FaceSwap.dev is a community-driven, open-source project providing a desktop application for face swapping. It offers a more user-friendly experience than command-line tools like DeepFaceLab, thanks to its graphical user interface (GUI). Users can extract faces, train models, and apply face swaps to images and videos using a step-by-step process.
While still requiring a decent GPU for efficient operation, FaceSwap.dev aims to make deepfake technology more accessible to a wider audience, including hobbyists and digital content creators who prefer a visual workflow. It differentiates itself by balancing powerful capabilities with a more approachable interface, making advanced face swapping less intimidating.
How to Use
1.Download and install the FaceSwap.dev application on your computer (Windows, macOS, Linux).
2.Prepare your source video/images and destination video/images.
3.Use the application's GUI to extract faces from your datasets.
4.Train an AI model using the extracted faces, monitoring progress through the interface.
5.Convert the destination video/images by applying the trained model to swap faces.
6.Review and save your final face-swapped content.
