## What it is
Rope is a GUI-focused desktop application for face swapping that implements the insightface inswapper_128 model. It offers batch swapping, TensorRT acceleration, XSeg masking, color matching, and a live capture mode for swapping content in a desktop window.

## Use cases
- swap faces in photos and videos with a gui
- batch face swap multiple images
- run face swapping with tensorrt for faster performance
- apply xseg masks to face swaps
- live face swap from a desktop window capture
- match colors between swapped faces using LAB color matching

## When to choose
- you want a graphical interface for face swapping instead of scripts
- you need batch processing and high-resolution inswapper modes (256/512)
- you have an NVIDIA GPU and want TensorRT-accelerated swapping
- you want fine-grained control over likeness, fidelity, and masking

## When to avoid
- you need a headless or API-driven face swap pipeline
- you require a permissively licensed tool - the repo has no license
- you want to create content of people without their consent - this is explicitly prohibited
- you need a cross-platform, officially supported application (setup is Windows-oriented)
