What are credits and how are they used?

Credits are the unit of consumption in Liveface. Each minute of active Backstage session (face swap running) uses one credit. Credits reset monthly on your billing date.

Can I use Liveface without a GPU?

Yes — that's the core benefit. All face swap processing happens in Liveface's cloud infrastructure. Your local device only needs a browser and a webcam.

What makes Liveface different from other face swap tools?

Most face swap tools require a powerful local GPU and complex setup. Liveface runs entirely in the cloud, works on any device, and is ready in seconds with a single click.

How does Liveface handle my privacy and data?

Your video stream is processed in real time and not stored unless you explicitly enable recording. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

What happens if I run out of credits?

Your Backstage sessions will pause until your credits renew at the start of the next billing cycle. You can also upgrade your plan at any time to get more credits immediately.

Is there a free plan I can try first?

Yes! The Free plan gives you 10 credits per month, 480p quality, and up to 10 minutes of recording — no credit card required.
