Live Face Changer for PC: Change Your Face on Webcam in Real Time
Want a different face on your webcam, live? Here are the three kinds of face changers for PC, and the fastest way to get one working in calls.
Three kinds of face changer
- Filters and masks (Snap Camera-style): stickers and cartoon effects on top of your face. Fun, but obviously fake.
- Local AI face swap (DeepFaceLive, Deep-Live-Cam): realistic, but it runs on your own NVIDIA graphics card, with Python setup and model downloads.
- Cloud AI face swap (FaceLive): realistic, and the AI runs on our servers, so any laptop with a webcam works.
If your PC doesn't have a strong graphics card, option 3 is the only realistic face that will run smoothly. More on that in live face swap without a GPU.
Set up a live face changer in two minutes
- Download FaceLive Camera for Windows (Windows 11, free).
- Sign in, pick a face from the gallery or upload a photo of a face you have permission to use.
- Press Start camera. Your new face appears in a few seconds and follows your expressions.
- In any app (WhatsApp, Zoom, Teams, Discord, OBS or a browser site), choose FaceLive Camera as the webcam.
Per-app steps: face swap on WhatsApp, face swap on Zoom, face swap on Telegram.
Getting a natural result
- Light from the front, like a window or lamp behind your screen.
- Face the camera and keep your whole face in the frame.
- A clear, front-facing reference photo for custom faces. See the reference photo guide.
Is it the same as a deepfake?
The technology is related, but a live face changer is a costume for your camera: you're the one talking and moving, in real time. Using it to impersonate a real person or deceive people is where it crosses the line. Read the consent rules.
