By The Swap Soul team · Published
DeepFaceLive, the free real-time face swap for streaming and video calls, was archived by its author on November 13, 2024. Existing copies may still work, but it gets no more fixes or updates.
If you’re looking for something maintained, here are the options and how they compare.
What can you use instead of DeepFaceLive?
1. Swap Soul

3. Swapface

Is DeepFaceLive still safe to use?
It may still work on your computer, but an archived project won’t get security or compatibility fixes. New graphics drivers or Windows updates can break it, and nobody will fix it.
What did DeepFaceLive need to run?
Windows 10 and a DirectX 12 graphics card; its page recommended an RTX 2070 or Radeon RX 5700 XT or better. Any replacement that runs locally needs similar hardware.
A cloud tool like Swap Soul doesn’t: the AI runs on our side, so a laptop with a webcam is enough.

Choose Swap Soul if…
- You want something maintained that works without setup.
