Deep-Live-Cam
real time face swap and one-click video deepfake with only a single image
Usage guide
Deep-Live-Cam is an open-source project around ai-deep-fake, ai-face, ai-webcam with 94,395 GitHub stars. This guide focuses on when to use it, how to install it, how to run the first example, and what to verify before adopting it.
Key features
- Implemented mainly in Python, useful for judging integration effort in a similar stack.
- GitHub detected the AGPL-3.0 repository license, which does not by itself confirm commercial permission. Review repository obligations and any model weights, datasets, dependencies, or external services before commercial adoption.
- The project has a homepage, so cross-check docs, examples, and release information beyond GitHub.
Best for
- Evaluating Deep-Live-Cam for Python AI workflows.
- Comparing a GitHub project with 94,395 stars and current repository activity.
Pros
- Deep-Live-Cam has visible GitHub traction with 94,395 stars. Topics: ai, ai-deep-fake, ai-face.
- The project provides an external homepage for deeper evaluation.
Cons
- Production fit still depends on documentation depth, issue activity, and release cadence.
- License review should confirm the AGPL-3.0 terms fit your use case.
Production readiness
Deep-Live-Cam should be validated with its README, release history, open issues, and integration requirements before production use.
License risk
AGPL-3.0 is reported by GitHub; review the repository license before redistribution or commercial use.
Deep-Live-Cam architecture preview
Deep-Live-Cam's main path starts at the entry surface, runs through Deep-Live-Cam core runtime, combines Optional AI model, Runtime context, and returns User-facing result.
Entry
CLI / terminal entry
Deep-Live-Cam is primarily entered through a developer command or terminal workflow.
python run.py
Runtime
Deep-Live-Cam core runtime
The core coordinates project logic, configuration, and AI-related execution in Python.
Python
Model
Optional AI model
The project connects its core runtime to local models or hosted AI APIs when model inference is required.
model signal
Context
Runtime context
Runtime state, user input, repository files, or configuration provide context for each task.
context signal
Output
User-facing result
The final output is returned to the user, workflow, API caller, or downstream system.

Install tutorial
Before you install
- Python runtime and an isolated virtual environment
- A clean working directory for the first test run
Check the runtime environment
Deep-Live-Cam depends on a Python-style environment. Use venv, conda, or a container to keep dependencies isolated.
Get the project files
Start from the official repository or package so the first run matches the documented behavior.
$ git clone https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam.gitInstall or build dependencies
Run the next setup command detected from the project documentation.
$ python run.pyAdoption guidance and sources

Before adopting
- Complete one clean-environment verification using the official Deep-Live-Cam setup path.
- Review repository license, model weights, external services, and dependency terms for your use case.
- Check recent commits, release cadence, issue response, and documentation depth.
- Evaluate output quality, latency, resource usage, and recovery behavior with a small dataset.
Configuration notes
- Review README configuration notes before using production data.
Sources checked
These links are used to verify repository, documentation, or tutorial details. Review the source pages before adopting the project.
Troubleshooting
- If installation fails, first confirm the command is being run from the README-specified directory.
- If dependencies conflict, retry in a fresh virtual environment, container, or working directory.
- If output looks wrong, return to the smallest documented Deep-Live-Cam example before adding complex data.
- For keys, model files, or external services, verify environment variables, local paths, and permissions one by one.
- Before production use, review recent updates, open issues, license terms, and safety boundaries.
What is Deep-Live-Cam?
