Avatarify is an open-source application that drives photorealistic avatars in real time for video-conferencing apps like Zoom and Skype, based on the First Order Motion Model. It comes in a Python CLI version for experienced users and an easier-to-install Desktop version, with a virtual camera feeding animated avatars into calls.

Use cases

• replace my face with an avatar in zoom calls
• animate a photo to drive a video call
• use a stylegan-generated face on video conferences
• run a virtual camera with a deep learning avatar
• appear as someone else on skype or teams
• real-time face animation from a webcam

When to choose

• you want photorealistic, real-time face-driven avatars in any video-conferencing app
• you have a GPU or can use Google Colab / remote GPU
• you want an open-source alternative to commercial avatar apps

When to avoid

• you need a polished one-click installer without command-line setup (try Avatarify Desktop instead)
• you need mobile support - the iOS/Android apps are proprietary and separate
• your machine has no GPU and you cannot use remote inference
• you need an actively developed project with a clear license
