How do I install it?

Basic: It is more likely to work on your computer but it will also be very slow. You can follow instructions for the basic install (This usually runs via CPU)

1.Setup your platform

• python (3.10 recommended)
• pip
• git
• ffmpeg
• visual studio 2022 runtimes (windows)

2. Clone Repository

https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam.git

3. Download Models

1. GFPGANv1.4
2. inswapper_128_fp16.onnx

Then put those 2 files on the "models" folder

4. Install dependency

We highly recommend to work with a venv to avoid issues.

pip install -r requirements.txt

For MAC OS, You have to install or upgrade python-tk package:

brew install python-tk@3.10

DONE!!! If you dont have any GPU, You should be able to run roop using python run.py command. Keep in mind that while running the program for first time, it will download some models which can take time depending on your network connection.

*Proceed if you want to use GPU Acceleration

CUDA Execution Provider (Nvidia)*

1. Install CUDA Toolkit 11.8

2. Install dependencies:

pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-gpu
pip install onnxruntime-gpu==1.16.3

3. Usage in case the provider is available:

python run.py --execution-provider cuda

CoreML Execution Provider (Apple Silicon)

1. Install dependencies:

pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-silicon
pip install onnxruntime-silicon==1.13.1

2. Usage in case the provider is available:

python run.py --execution-provider coreml

CoreML Execution Provider (Apple Legacy)

1. Install dependencies:

pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-coreml
pip install onnxruntime-coreml==1.13.1

2. Usage in case the provider is available:

python run.py --execution-provider coreml

DirectML Execution Provider (Windows)

1. Install dependencies:

pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-directml
pip install onnxruntime-directml==1.15.1

2. Usage in case the provider is available:

python run.py --execution-provider directml

OpenVINO™ Execution Provider (Intel)

1. Install dependencies:

pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-openvino
pip install onnxruntime-openvino==1.15.0

2. Usage in case the provider is available:

python run.py --execution-provider openvino

How do I use it?

Note: When you run this program for the first time, it will download some models ~300MB in size.

Executing python run.py command will launch this window:

Choose a face (image with desired face) and the target image/video (image/video in which you want to replace the face) and click on Start. Open file explorer and navigate to the directory you select your output to be in. You will find a directory named <video_title> where you can see the frames being swapped in realtime. Once the processing is done, it will create the output file. That's it.

For the webcam mode

Just follow the clicks on the screenshot

1. Select a face
2. Click live
3. Wait for a few seconds (it takes a longer time, usually 10 to 30 seconds before the preview shows up)

Just use your favorite screencapture to stream like OBS

Note: In case you want to change your face, just select another picture, the preview mode will then restart (so just wait a bit).
