About Rope

Rope is a GitHub-hosted project that implements the InsightFace inswapper_128 face-swapping model behind a graphical interface. The Rope-Bronze version adds a more responsive UI, a TensorRT (TRT) engine and batched inswapper for 256 and 512 modes, a Settings tab for folders, models, threading and benchmarking, likeness/fidelity controls, LAB color matching, an XSeg masker, drag-and-drop embedding reordering, and a Capture mode that swaps whatever appears in a movable desktop window.

The software is installed manually: it requires a Python 3.12 virtual environment, installation from a requirements lock file, and separately downloaded model files that must be unzipped and pointed to in Settings. No pricing or licensing terms are stated on the page, and the author describes Rope as a personal project released to the community. The included disclaimer places responsibility for ethical and legal use, including obtaining consent from people whose likeness is used, entirely on the user.
