What it does

Live Morph is LiveGen's flagship mode: a real-time character transformation that replaces what the camera sees with a character you choose, while everything that makes the performance yours — the timing of a smile, a raised eyebrow, where you're looking, how you tilt your head — carries through into the character as it happens.

Before: you, on camera, as you are. After: the character, on camera, doing exactly what you're doing — blinking when you blink, grinning when you grin, live.

This is a different thing from a costume filter or a static avatar. A sticker-style filter decorates your image; a VTuber rig demands a modeled, rigged puppet before you can start. Live Morph needs neither: one reference image of a character is enough, and the transformation runs on the live video itself. The result reads as a performance — a character being acted by you in real time — which is what makes it usable for streaming, videos, and calls rather than a one-shot novelty. (For the concept and terminology, see the canonical definition: what is live morph?)

How it works

1
Open your camera — in the browser, desktop or mobile. No download, no rig, no setup.
2
Pick or upload a character — choose from preset characters or upload a reference image: an original character, a drawing, a commissioned design.
3
Perform, live — the morph applies in real time as you move and talk. Switch characters mid-session with one tap.

Behind the scenes, your camera streams frame by frame over WebRTC to LiveGen's real-time engine, which re-generates each frame as the target character while preserving your pose, expression, and timing, then returns it to a standard video element in your browser. There is no upload-and-wait step and no per-clip render queue — the loop is continuous, which is what makes a true real-time character transformation possible. The underlying technique is real-time video diffusion.

Tips for the best morph

Real-time, not render-and-wait

Character videos used to mean one of two workflows: batch AI tools (upload a clip, wait minutes, download a result) or VTuber pipelines (model, rig, calibrate — then perform). Live Morph collapses both into one step: the character exists the moment your camera turns on, and it stays in sync with you for the whole session. No queue between takes, no rig before the first take. That immediacy is the point — it turns "making a character video" into simply being the character for a few minutes, the same live loop behind LiveGen's other modes like Outfit Swap and Style Morph.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Live Morph?
+

LiveGen's real-time character mode: your live camera is transformed into a character of your choice while your expressions, gaze, and motion carry through as they happen. The term itself is defined in our glossary entry.

Do I need a VTuber model or rig?
+

No. A single reference image of a character is enough — no 3D modeling, rigging, or tracking hardware.

Does it keep my expressions and timing?
+

Yes. That's the core of the mode: blinks, smiles, gaze direction, and head motion all track through to the character in real time.

Can I use it live on a stream or call?
+

Yes. The output renders into a standard browser video element, so you can capture the tab in OBS or your streaming software and go live as the character.

Can I use any character?
+

Use presets, original characters, or characters you have rights to. Real people's likenesses require consent, uploads are moderated, and the content policy applies.

Is Live Morph free?
+

It's free to start with credits included; 1 credit = 1 second of generation. Free exports are watermarked; paid tiers add HD and remove the watermark (verify current pricing).

Does it work on mobile?
+

Yes — it runs in mobile and desktop browsers, no app required.

How is this different from an avatar app?
+

Avatar apps animate a puppet next to (or instead of) your video. Live Morph transforms the video itself, so the character inherits your framing, lighting, and performance — it looks shot, not simulated.
