Ever wanted to swap faces in images for fun or to create memes? This Python script makes it easy using OpenCV and dlib libraries. While there are more advanced methods available, like MockoFun’s online face swap app, this script offers a hands-on approach to understanding face swapping technology.

Key Features:
- Facial Landmark Detection: Utilizes a pre-trained model to identify key facial features.
- Face Alignment & Warping: Aligns and overlays faces from two images for a seamless swap.
- Color Correction: Adjusts colors to match the target image for a natural look.
- Usage: Provide two image paths as command-line arguments to swap faces. The script is best with frontal, well-lit images4.
Ethical Considerations
Use responsibly and respect privacy and consent. You should always ask for the consent of the people whose images you want to use for face swapping or make sure they are used in a context that clearly indicates the nature of the modified images.
Further Exploration
For those interested in the technicalities, the script’s step-by-step breakdown and the science behind face swapping are detailed on the page.
For more advanced techniques, I recommend this article. It goes more in-depth explaining how AI face swap and deepswap works, the architecture of the neural networks and the principles for training it.
As for the applications of the face swap script, one cool app is the Face Swap for Photoshop action available for free on Gumroad.
