In early 2020, a mobile app called Doublicat took the app stores by storm. Its promise was simple: turn your selfie into a source for creating dozens of deepfakes and face swaps, right from your mobile device. Within six months, Doublicat became Reface App, and hundreds of millions of downloads later, the app is still making noise.
The deepfake can be a dangerous or wonderful resource, depending on who uses it. For example, we have seen the application of a deepfake to fix the CGI of movies we now consider classics in record time and at a fraction of the cost. Cinema has not hesitated to adopt similar technologies to revive actors or reproduce their younger selves, and we also observe notable advances in lip sync.
But the question is: How can the deepfake be brought closer to users? Well... there's an app for that. One of the most important is Reface, previously known as Doublicat. Now, Reface avoids the word deepfake and focuses on its main function, which is the famous face swap. Interested? All you have to do to get started is download a copy of Reface App on your mobile device (iOS and Android, obviously), and take just one photo of your face...
How to Use Reface App
That's right: Reface App only asks for a selfie. Once it has captured your face, the app will try to offer you its Pro options (close the message by tapping the X in the top left), which basically eliminate ads and watermarks (note that its models are subscription-based).
The next step is to explore the list of clips Reface has available and choose one. In a matter of seconds, Reface replaces the main character of the scene with your face, and as expected, the results range from "marvelous and realistic" to "soul-consuming animated nightmares".

The alternative is to share these clips directly on high-profile platforms like the Facebook / Instagram / WhatsApp trio. Add to that the concept of gender swap, and the possibility to animate photos, something we have explored in the past. Go ahead and try it!
