DeepFaceLive is an open-source, real-time face-swapping software tool made by Ivan Petrov (known as "Iperov") and released in 2021, as a real-time application leveraging deep learning and GAN-based technology. DeepFaceLive allows users to swap their faces with another person's face in streaming video, video calls, or recorded content in real time. It supports both pre-trained deep learning models and custom models you create through DeepFaceLab, its companion tool, so it can be used flexibly by people, businesses, researchers, and hobbyists. Major features of DeepFaceLive include real-time face-swapping, a plug-and-play criminal for webcams and streaming programs such as Skype and Zoom, and a Face Animator Module that can breathe life into static image representations of faces using live inputs to control animation. It will install and run on Windows, Linux, and macOS but requires powerful hardware (such as a modern CPU with AVX support and a good GPU) for smooth playback.
