FaceSwap is an open‑source Python application that uses deep learning to detect and swap faces in images and videos. It provides both a graphical user interface and command‑line tools for training models and performing swaps.

Use cases

• Swap faces in portrait photos for fun or creative projects
• Create deepfake videos by replacing actors' faces
• Generate synthetic media for research or entertainment
• Anonymize or blur faces in video footage while preserving realism
• Train custom face‑swap models on personal datasets

When to choose

• You need a free, community‑maintained tool with a GUI for easy face swapping
• You want to experiment with deep learning models for face replacement
• You require both command‑line and graphical interfaces on multiple OSes

When to avoid

• You need a commercial‑license solution (FaceSwap is GPL‑3.0)
• You require real‑time performance or high‑throughput processing
• You lack expertise to handle ethical and legal considerations of deepfakes
