Credits can be used across photos, GIFs, multi-face images, and videos.</p> <h2> Privacy </h2> <p>Uploaded media is processed only to generate the requested result. According to the product’s current processing policy:</p> <ul> <li>Uploaded images are not used to train AI models</li> <li>Source media is deleted after processing</li> <li>Users retain ownership of their content</li> </ul> <h2> Responsible use </h2> <p>Face-swapping technology has legitimate creative and entertainment uses, but it can also be misused.</p> <p>Users must have permission to use the faces and media they upload. AI SwapFace prohibits non-consensual intimate imagery, fraud, harassment, deceptive impersonation, and illegal deepfake content.</p> <h2> What I’m working on next </h2> <p>Some areas I’m exploring:</p> <ul> <li>Improving face consistency across video frames</li> <li>Supporting longer videos</li> <li>Better handling of side-profile faces</li> <li>Faster processing</li> <li>Clearer free-tier and credit information</li> <li>More localization and accessibility improvements</li> </ul> <p>I’d appreciate feedback from the DEV community, especially around:</p> <ul> <li>The upload and processing experience</li> <li>Output quality</li> <li>Privacy and responsible-use communication</li> <li>Features you would expect from an online face-swap tool</li> </ul> <p>Thanks for checking it out!</p> ai webdev productivity tutorial
