Deep-Live-Cam v2.7: Real-Time Face Swap at 27 FPS, Open Source

Deep-Live-Cam just dropped its biggest update ever — v2.7 Beta rewrites over 50% of the codebase and pushes real-time face swapping to 27 FPS with a live face enhancer active.

New in 2.7: two GPEN upscaling models (512 for studio-quality HD, 256 for speed), masking controls (lips, chin, eyes), LUT-based color grading, multi-GPU selector, and a borderless window projection mode. The tool needs just a single source image to swap faces live on webcam, in video files, or across multiple faces simultaneously.

It runs on Windows (NVIDIA/AMD), macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux via CUDA, DirectML, CoreML, or OpenVINO. The repo has hit 83k stars since going viral in 2024 and is licensed AGPL-3.0. Developers include a consent disclaimer — users must have permission before using someone's likeness.

Why it matters: the gap between professional deepfake studios and a single Python script keeps shrinking — v2.7 is near-broadcast quality on consumer hardware.
