What it does
Takes one still photograph and replaces the face on a live camera feed, or in an already-recorded video, with the face in that photo. The authors position it as a production tool for animating original characters and showing clothing designs, and say the software refuses to process inappropriate material. Using a real person's face without their consent can constitute defamation or impersonation; the project itself asks users to obtain consent and to label output as a deepfake. Setup requires Python and a command line, and a discrete GPU for smooth real-time performance.

Before you use someone else's face or voice
Recreating a person's face or voice without their informed consent, and publishing material that shows them saying or doing something they did not, can amount to defamation or a violation of personality and publicity rights, with civil and criminal consequences. Sexual content, or impersonation for financial gain, is treated far more seriously. Work only with your own likeness, or with material where the person has agreed to both the content and where it will appear. Running the tool locally protects your data - it does not make publishing the result lawful.
Deep-Live-Cam FAQ
- Is Deep-Live-Cam free?
- Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use Deep-Live-Cam?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does Deep-Live-Cam work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use Deep-Live-Cam commercially?
- The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
