Rope provides a graphical interface for face swapping with the InsightFace inswapper model.
SimSwap
SimSwap provides a trained framework for face swapping in images and videos.
About SimSwap
SimSwap is a PyTorch framework for swapping faces in images and videos. According to the repository, one trained model can perform arbitrary face swapping rather than being tied to a fixed pair of faces. Training and test code are provided, along with scripts for single, specific, multi and whole-image swap variants. A high-resolution variant, SimSwap-HQ, is supported and a beta checkpoint was released.
The repository states the project is for technical and academic use only, and that users are responsible for meeting the legal and ethical requirements of their country or region. Listed dependencies include Python 3.6+, PyTorch 1.5+, torchvision, OpenCV, Pillow, NumPy, imageio, moviepy, insightface and timm 0.5.4.
Key features
- Single trained model performs arbitrary face swaps on images and videos
- Scripts for single, specific, multi and whole-image swap variants
- Training and test code provided
- Released VGGFace2-HQ dataset and cropped VGGFace2-224 dataset
- High-resolution SimSwap-HQ variant with an open beta checkpoint
- Docker support; mask blending added to reduce border abruptness
Best for: Researchers and developers who need an academic face-swapping framework with trainable code and released research datasets.
