## This project has been discontinued

Yes, you can still use this software. It just won't recieve any updates now.

> The reason behind shutting the project down is that a developer with write access to the code published a [problematic video](https://github.com/s0md3v/roop/commit/cf7ba1caf932e8c9f39d972100f74022e7372c27) to the documentation of the project. This happened while I was taking a break from the project in July-Aug 2023. It went unnoticed for 2 weeks until someone reached out to me to talk about this project. It was a complete breach of trust for me and I decided that I do not have the interest or time to oversee the development of a software with such ethical issues.
> I thank all the amazing people who contributed to this project and made what it is in it's final form.

# Roop

> Take a video and replace the face in it with a face of your choice. You only need one image of the desired face. No dataset, no training.

[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/s0md3v/roop/ci.yml.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/s0md3v/roop/actions?query=workflow:ci)

## Installation

Be aware, the installation needs technical skills and is not for beginners. Please do not open platform and installation related issues on GitHub. We have a very helpful [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/Y9p4ZQ2sB9) community that will guide you to install roop.

[Basic](https://github.com/s0md3v/roop/wiki/1.-Installation) - It is more likely to work on your computer, but will be quite slow

[Acceleration](https://github.com/s0md3v/roop/wiki/2.-Acceleration) - Unleash the full potential of your CPU and GPU

### Headless

Using the `-s/--source`, `-t/--target` and `-o/--output` argument will run the program in headless mode.
