Deepfake Videos Explained: Creation and Detection
Deepfake videos use AI face-swapping to place a real person's face onto explicit video content. Find out where your face appears across platforms.
Deepfake video technology uses neural network face-swapping to place a target's face onto an explicit actor's body in video content. The output is increasingly convincing and has become consumer-accessible through web-based tools. ScanErase covers both authentic and AI-generated intimate video content by helping users discover their exposure.
How deepfake videos are created
Deepfake videos use GAN-based face-swapping models trained on the target's face images. The model replaces the source actor's face with the target's in each video frame. Higher quality outputs require more source images and processing time; lower quality consumer tools produce cruder but increasingly convincing results in minutes.
Where deepfake intimate videos spread
Adult video platforms are the primary distribution channel for deepfake intimate videos. Reddit communities, Telegram channels, and imageboards serve as secondary distribution points. Videos are typically compressed and re-uploaded multiple times, reducing quality but increasing reach.
