DeepFaceLab allows you to swap faces, replace the whole head, age a person, as well as change the lip movement.
DeepFakeLab was created for researchers and computer vision students, so it’s definitely not the most user-friendly software on this list. You’ll need a powerful PC to run it. Not to mention it will take time before you’ll understand how the software works.
At the same time, you probably won’t find a better and more advanced deepfake app that you can use for free.
