Deepfake is something that uses Machine Learning, AI and extensive system resources to transform a given photo or video to impersonate others, or just for fun.
Who all uses Deepfake and Why?
Gone are those days where one needs heavy resources and skills to manipulate a picture. Today, we see several services popping up to offer free Deepfake tech. Deepfake is used by various people from general users for fun to fraudsters for deceiving. On one side of the coin, normies like us would do just swap faces of our friends with others for fun. But on the other side, fraudsters use it for manipulating one’s perception like voters in politics. A popular use of deepfake was to swap faces of celebrities for porn actors, to lure more traffic in porn sites. While this being the case, regulators have limited the use of such tech only for purposeful uses. With that being said, here are the top apps that let users use deepfake for fun;
List of Best Deepfake Apps
1.) FaceApp
FaceApp has been so popular because of its highly believable output. The app uses Neural face editing tech to tune one’s face with tens of filters offered to users. These range from adding beards to smiles to hairstyles. Users can swap faces of two photos and even make a person look old. While a 30-sec ad infested free version is bearable, users can choose to pay for premium filters, removing watermarks and being ad-free.
2.) ReFace
It’s a dedicated app for swapping just faces, but professionally. It relies on its proprietary ReFace tech, which uses ML and AI to extract face data from a video or photo to be used in the output. It makes the morphing in a movie-level to look so sophisticated. It has a premium version to have priority editing and removing ads.
3.) Jiggy
A pro app using deepfake for creating dancing GIFs. Users have to upload their full-body pictures and choose from over 100 dancing moves to make a dancing GIF. A premium version of this would give access to more dancing styles and of course, no ads and watermarks.
