Tips for Responsible Deepfake Creation
- Consent is Key: Always obtain explicit consent from individuals whose likenesses you wish to use.
- Integrity Matters: Ensure that the content you create is never harmful or defamatory.
- Purposeful Creation: Strive to make content that is fun or serves a productive purpose.
- Reflect Before You Act: Before publishing or sharing a deepfake video, consider its impact.
This project is a profound opportunity to engage with AI in a way that can illuminate its potential for good. Let's set an example for the responsible use of AI and build a community that prioritizes ethical considerations in all our technological endeavors.
We trust in your judgment and creativity.

Before delving into the creation process, gather the essential files required for a seamless deep fake video production:
- Source Video: Select a video that you wish to deep clone.
- Target Faces Images: Obtain images of the faces you intend to manipulate.
- Replacement Faces Images: Collect images of the faces that will replace the original faces in the target video.
To facilitate the deepfake creation process, we’ll be using a tool called Refacer. You can check out the Tool on GitHub.
This tool enables you to create deepfakes with multiple faces with just one click! It is powered by the excellent Insightface and inspired by Roop.
For instructions on how to use Refacer, refer to the Refacer Documentation.
Initiate the installation and setup process by clicking the play button on the Refacer Colab notebook. This action allocates the necessary resources and installs the required packages.
After completion, the program will provide a link to access the application used for deep clone creation. This is a temporary link that you can use to use Refacer on the web.
In case you face difficulties running Refacer on Google Colab, follow the below steps to running it locally on your computer.
In case you face difficulties running Refacer on Google Colab. Follow the below steps to running it locally on your computer.
First create a folder that you will put your files in. Then go ahead and download this file inswapper_128.onnx and place it inside the folder you just created.
Then open the terminal and navigate to the folder you just created and copy paste the following commands one by one to run them.
-
Clone the Refacer repository: Use the following command to clone the Refacer repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/xaviviro/refacer.git -

python app.py -
Access the application: Finally, open your web browser and navigate to the following address:
http://127.0.0.1:7680
You're now ready to use Refacer locally on your computer!
Finaly, open your web browser and navigate to the following address: http://127.0.0.1:7680
You can access the Refacer through Google Colab by following this link: refacer_colab.ipynb
The Refacer web application comprises four main sections:
- Original Video Upload
- Target Faces Placement
- Replacement Faces Placement
- Output File Display
Upload the respective files to their designated sections and click “Reface” (The big orange button at the bottom of the page). This action initiates a process that will “reface” all frames in the video using the provided faces. Please note that this process may take some time.
Upon clicking “Reface” the process begins, showcasing the transformation of the video frames. Monitor the progress as the deepfake video takes shape.
The output file is accessible on the Refacer web app. However, if the video does not appear promptly, check the Colab file for a completion message indicating the location of the refaced video.
If you have difficulty with Refacer, try out these alternative tools.
