Take a video and replace the face in it with a face of your choice. You only need one image of the desired face. No dataset, no training.

You can watch some demos here. A StableDiffusion extension is also available, here.

How do I install it?

Issues regarding installation will be closed from now on, we cannot handle the amount of requests.

• Basic: It is more likely to work on your computer but it will also be very slow. You can follow instructions for the basic install here.

• Acceleration: If you have a good GPU and are ready for solving any software issues you may face, you can enable GPU which is wayyy faster. To do this, first follow the basic install instructions given above and then follow GPU-specific instructions here.

How do I use it?

Note: When you run this program for the first time, it will download some models ~300MB in size.

Executing python run.py command will launch this window:

Choose a face (image with desired face) and the target image/video (image/video in which you want to replace the face) and click on Start. Open file explorer and navigate to the directory you select your output to be in. You will find a directory named <video_title> where you can see the frames being swapped in realtime. Once the processing is done, it will create the output file. That's it.

For the webcam mode

Just follow the clicks on the screenshot

1. Select a face
2. Click live
3. Wait for a few second (it takes a longer time, usually 10 to 30 seconds before the preview shows up)

Just use your favorite screencapture to stream like OBS

Note: In case you want to change your face, just select another picture, the preview mode will then restart (so just wait a bit).

Additional command line arguments are given below. To learn out what they do, check this guide.
