Face replacement (also called face swapping) is a technique that replaces only the face in an existing photo while keeping the body, clothing, and pose unchanged. It's related to but different from person replacement, which is what Larpable uses for image generation.
Face replacement takes a target photo and swaps the face with a different face. The body, pose, clothing, and background remain from the original photo. Only the face changes. This is the technology behind many "deepfake" and face-swap apps.
The key difference is scope:
Person replacement generally produces more natural, integrated results because the entire appearance is adapted to the scene, not just the face pasted onto an existing body.
Larpable uses person replacement for image generation. Your AI identity's appearance is placed into the scene, adapting to the environment naturally. This produces more realistic results for AI influencer content, where the character needs to look like they belong in the scene.
Face replacement can be useful when you want to keep a specific body, pose, or outfit exactly as-is and only change the face. However, for most AI influencer and creator content, person replacement produces better results because it creates a more cohesive, natural-looking image.
Both face and person replacement raise ethical concerns when used to create content of real people without their consent. Larpable is designed for creating original AI identities, not for impersonating real people. Always obtain consent before using someone's likeness, and be transparent about AI-generated content.
