Don't be deceived by the play on the name because DeepSwaper is still only a Face Swapp site with no other AI tools, meaning that the focus is solely on the Face Swapping tech and the servers involved in the process. DeepSwaper is a straightforward website with the key tools laid out, and all you have to do is make an account with your Email to access it. DeepSwaper doesn't take intellectual property rights away from you, so whatever picture you choose to upload will remain yours, along with the final result. The site has a neat "history" mechanic where you can visit your previously uploaded photos. This memory will remain there for a limited time or until you choose to delete it. Having a site that won't bombard you with extra features is always nice to see, so let's check out the insides.
The Freebies
If you just want to do something quickly, or if you are agreeable with slower service and occasional usage of the tools, then you will be very happy to explore the free membership model. This option is immediately unlocked upon creating your account, and that same account can be purged at any time. This membership grants you four free credits to use every day, but only the Image Face Swap tool. This choice is fine for any casual user, and we are pleased that the limited credits aren't locked as a one-time thing. Aside from that, DeepSwaper will not place a watermark on the final product even if you are using a free membership model, which is something few sites choose to give to their free users in the first place. Overall, the website is a suitable place to do a daily Face Swap.
Image Face Swap
This tool is open for you without a membership, and it's also the one you will see the most of. The Image Swapper is equipped with a multi-face sap function, which will allow you to change more faces faster and quicker, making it a great option if you're planning to do one photo without consuming a lot of credits. It does its task well, and we noticed that it scans faces very well. However, we were disappointed that the enhanced effects on photos tended to look too powerful, which often erased the likeness of the people in the image. This is a regrettable quirk of the Face Swapper, but the main feature of Image Face Swapper works incredibly well. For the best effects after processing, we suggest that you choose clear photos and head poses that aren't tilted in any direction.
Video And GIF Face Swap
Paying customers will not only get better results from the Face Swap tool and faster processing speed but also unlock the GIF and Video features. These two tools work in similar ways but have some fundamental differences. For one, GIF swappers work on only one face and are better for repeating loops as the facial details are synced and tied to that motion. Video face Swap works better if you want to select one or multiple faces from a video you've made, making it perfect for longer films, social media stunts, or relaxing pastimes with friends. The total length of the Video Face Swap can affect is limited, but you can extend it if you are willing to wait for the server to process it. Using these features will require credits, which you can get every month based on your subscription plan or buy separately.
Prices And Policies
The site collects the basic data needed to provide you with service and retains the uploaded images for up to seven days. What we have noticed is that they allow third parties to collect your data, most notably, the site's privacy policy listed Firebase Crashlytics as their third-party data collector. If you wish to stop the site from processing your personal data, then send a request through feedback@deepswaper.net, and the team promises to respond in a timely manner. There are only two recurring membership plans on the site - the monthly for $19.99 and the yearly $99.99 per year. Your first membership will be 50% off and rebill at full price later. The site accepts crypto and payments through wallets like Skrill. You can pay directly with your credit card through uPrimePay. We suggest you learn how to cancel your subscription in advance.
The Big Problem
What threw us off our feet, in a bad way, was where the payment page led us. Even with an account, when you click on the subscription banners, you will be taken to a wholly new site instead of DeepSwaper. This new site is BestFaceSwap, and you are immediately dropped off on their payment page. We are not sure if a membership to the BestFaceSwap website also doubles as a membership on DeepSwaper, but the sudden pull and the need to create two accounts did not sit well with us. There is a chance that the new site is a fresh base of operation for the team, but there is also a chance that something strange is happening. At best, DeepSwaper is only an ad page, and at worst, it's an abandoned tool meant to funnel people to the new place while collecting data. We wish the site was transparent about the change.
Our Thoughts
DeepSwaper is a regular Face Swap site with a welcoming model for free users and a fair treatment of intellectual properties and memory retention. It also has GIF and Video-swapping tools, which you can access with a membership. However, we are uncomfortable recommending such a site as the owners are not transparent about what is happening with the hidden link on the price page that takes users to the BestFaceSwap site, and we are also not thrilled with the Privacy Policy, especially with the knowledge that the team is likely focused on the other side instead of DeepSwaper. The free features on the site are great and work perfectly, but we suggest you take your time before visiting DeepSwaper.
