Live Face Swap is a web-based application that changes your on-camera appearance in real-time as camera frames arrive. It is built for content creators, streamers, and actors who want to adopt a new persona instantly without waiting for post-production rendering. The tool works by taking a reference portrait and mapping its features onto your live webcam feed.
Most face-swapping software requires high-end hardware or pre-recorded video files. This project aims to simplify the process by running directly in your browser, allowing for immediate visual feedback. It helps performers rehearse timing, framing, and expressions while seeing their character's face instead of their own. One thing to keep in mind: the quality of the result depends heavily on your lighting and the quality of the reference image you choose.
