Faceswap.dev - Review

The software itself is clean—it has passed VirusTotal scans. However, . If you download a "pre-trained celebrity face model" from a random forum, that .zip file could contain a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) or keylogger.

If you are expecting a one-click installer like Discord or Spotify, you will be frustrated. Installation is the first major hurdle.

After several swaps, I rated Faceswap.dev across three categories:

: While there is support for AMD (via DirectML/ROCm) and Apple Silicon (via PlaidML), these versions are generally slower and may have more bugs than the Nvidia version.

: Best for researchers and users wanting maximum control over the training process.

⚠️ – Mention that faceswapping should only be done with consent and for legitimate creative/educational purposes.
