Face Swap Roop

Face Swap Roop

Swaps faces with the roop face-swapping tool, in a Gradio page you can open in a browser or run on your own computer. For people who want to try roop without a setup.

About

What it is: Face Swap Roop is a Hugging Face Space that hosts roop, a face-swapping tool, behind a Gradio page. It names the CountFloyd/deepfake model and keeps the roop code in its repository. You can use it in a browser with nothing to install.

Who it suits: It suits hobbyists and developers who want to see how roop behaves, and people who want to run the code on their own machine.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Software | Developers | Read the roop code and run a local copy | Download the Space and start app.py
Creative work | Hobbyists | Try face swapping in a browser page | Open the Space and swap a face in a picture
AI research | Students | Look at how a Gradio app wraps a face-swapping tool | Open the repository and read the roop folder

If you do not need face swapping, you can skip it.

Where to use it:

• A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face
• Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, from a local copy of the files

Use case | Who | What they get back
Try roop online | Hobbyists | A face-swapping page that needs no install
Run it locally | Developers | The same app running on their own computer
Study the code | Students | The roop folder and app.py to read

How to set it up:

• A web browser, which is all the online page needs
• Python, for a local copy
• The Python packages listed in requirements.txt

1. Open the Space's page on Hugging Face to use it online. Nothing needs installing.
2. For a local copy, install the Hugging Face hub package and download the Space's files.
3. Move into the downloaded folder.
4. Install Gradio 4.36.1, then the packages from requirements.txt.
5. Start the app with python app.py.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download BLACKHOOL/Roop-face-swap --repo-type space --local-dir Roop-face-swap
cd Roop-face-swap
pip install gradio==4.36.1
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

How to use it: Open the page, or the one your local copy starts, and follow the controls the Gradio interface shows. You give it the face to use and the picture to put it on, and the swapped result appears in the page.

Example: Give the app a photo of the face you want to use and a second picture to place it in. The page returns the second picture with the face swapped.

For newcomers and experts: Open the Space page and try one pair of pictures. Use faces you have the right to use, since the page gives no guidance on that.

The repository is small, with app.py, a roop folder, requirements.txt and a LICENSE file, and the Space runs on basic CPU hardware at Hugging Face. The app is built with Gradio 4.36.1 and names the CountFloyd/deepfake model.

You give the app a face and a picture
The roop code finds the faces
The model swaps the face
The page shows the swapped result

Good to know: The README is short and gives no usage notes, so the steps above come from how the Space is built.

• Cost to run: none named
• Data it reaches: the pictures you give it and the CountFloyd/deepfake model
