Swap Face Now
Akool is an American generative-AI company headquartered in Palo Alto that creates products for generating videos, images, and multimedia. Face swap sits next to talking avatars, talking photo, video translation, and Live Camera on Windows and Mac.
While Akool Face Swap also runs Hair, Clothing, and ReAge, VidMage stays on the face, a GIF, and facial-feature. Open VidMage when the next export is that face.
