What is Swapface?
Swapface is a desktop face swap application for Windows and Apple silicon Macs that swaps faces in images, videos, GIFs and live streams. It runs entirely on the user's own device, so processing and data stay on the local machine.
The app covers single-person and multi-person face swaps in images, a full head swap that includes the hairstyle, and real-time face swapping for going live. Users open the app and click Start. The vendor says a mid-range graphics card is enough, and the listed minimum is an NVIDIA RTX 2060/3060 with 6 GB+ VRAM and 16 GB RAM.
Swapface is free to start, offers both pay-as-you-go credits and subscriptions, and has a referral program for free credits. It suits streamers, meme makers, social media creators and marketers who want face swap content without uploading their footage to a cloud service.
