| 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. |
