Hi HN,
I just launched UltraFaceSwap (https://ultrafaceswap.com), an AI face swapping tool that handles photos, GIFs, and videos with single or multiple face swaps.
*What makes it different:*
– *Multi-person swapping*: Swap multiple faces in one image/video (most tools only do one)
– *Multi-face GIF support*: First tool I’ve seen that handles multi-person face swapping in animated GIFs
– *Video quality*: Maintains temporal consistency (no flickering between frames)
– *Comprehensive format support*: Works seamlessly across photos, GIFs, and videos
*Why I built it:*
A friend needed a face swap tool for their project, so I tried every option on the market. They all had limitations:
– Only single face swaps
– Poor video quality with flickering
– No proper GIF support, especially for multiple faces
– Clunky UX requiring multiple steps
So I built what I wished existed.
*Pricing model:*
– Free trial to test it out
– Daily free credits (casual users might never pay)
– Pay-as-you-go for volume (no subscription)
*Tech challenges I solved:*
– Face tracking across video frames
– Handling occlusions (when faces turn away)
– Multi-face detection and assignment in animated GIFs
– GIF color palette preservation while swapping multiple faces
*Current limitations:*
– Processing videos takes time (30s video = ~3-5 min processing)
– Works best with clear, well-lit faces
– Very fast motion can still cause artifacts
I’m a solo developer and spent 2 months getting the quality right. Would love feedback from HN:
– What use cases would you have for this?
– Is multi-face swapping something you’ve needed?
– Any concerns about the technology?
Try it out – I think you’ll find the quality noticeably better than alternatives.
