Reface is an app that uses AI to swap faces with the user’s face in a video or GIF. Neocortext, the company behind the creation of the app is from Ukraine. The company was founded by Roman Mohylnyi, Oles Petriv and Yaroslav Boyko in 2011. The app uses a neural network to replace human faces. The app’s technology can change a person’s face into face embeddings as the company calls it. These are set of numbers that differentiate between one person’s face from another.
Reface uses GAN Frameworks to achieve realistic images and high image quality. Reface is free to use but you do have an option for removing the in-app ads by subscribing to the PRO subscription. The subscription can be paid for monthly or annual tenure. The app was launched in Jan 2020, with just the ability to swap faces in a GIF. But with great response and feedback from the users, the feature to swap faces in a video was added too. The app was initially launched with the name Doublicat but was then changed to Reface.
