Open your camera. Pick a face. Watch it move exactly like you do — instantly, with zero render wait.
Most "face swap" tools make you upload a photo, wait, and download a result that never quite matches how a real face moves. LiveGen's real-time face swap works differently: it swaps your face for any character while you're on camera, frame by frame, so every blink, smile, and head turn carries over instantly.
This is powered by the Xmax X2.0 real-time video model, so the swap holds up even as you talk, laugh, or turn your head — not just for a still photo. Because the face is generated live instead of composited from a single frame, you get an identity that reacts to you, not a mask that sits there.
At a high level, real-time face swap is a loop that never stops running while your camera is on:
<video> element on the page.Because it happens frame by frame, the output tracks you continuously — there's no clip to process, no queue, and no download step between "do the thing" and "see the thing." If you want the concept behind it, see our live morph glossary entry.
The gap between LiveGen and a typical face-swap app is the whole point of the feature. A render-and-wait tool takes a finished clip, uploads it to a server, processes every frame in the background, and hands you a file some minutes later. If the result is wrong — bad angle, odd expression, wrong character — you re-shoot and wait again.
Real-time face swap collapses that loop. You see the swapped face on screen the moment you move, so you can direct the shot as it happens: fix your angle, change your expression, adjust your lighting, and switch the reference face on the fly. That makes it far better suited to anything live — streaming, calls, or filming social clips in one take — where the output has to keep up with a moving person.

It's real-time. The swap updates live as you move — there's no upload-process-download cycle. What you see on screen is happening as you move, not minutes later.
No. Real-time face swap runs entirely in your browser using your webcam. Nothing to install on desktop or mobile.
The swapped face tracks your real expressions and head motion — smiles, blinks, and turns carry over live, so it doesn't look like a static mask pasted over your video.
Yes. Upload any reference image and LiveGen maps your live expressions onto it.
Yes — it runs live alongside your stream setup. Just make sure any face you swap in complies with LiveGen's content policy around consent and likeness.
Yes. Because it runs in the browser over WebRTC, it works on mobile as well as desktop — open the camera in your phone's browser and the swap streams back to the page, with no app-store download.
Yes. You can switch to a different reference face on the fly without ending your session, so you can react, change characters, and keep the camera rolling.
You can upload a reference face, but swapping a real person's likeness requires their consent, and uploads are moderated under LiveGen's content policy. Use it for characters, your own looks, and people who've agreed to it — not for impersonation.
A typical filter overlays fixed assets on detected facial landmarks. Real-time face swap regenerates the whole face with the Xmax X2.0 model, so it renders a genuinely different identity that still moves like you — closer to live video than to a sticker.
