Face swap technology has evolved from crude novelty filters to photorealistic AI-powered face replacement tools. Consumer apps available through app stores and web browsers allow anyone to superimpose a face onto explicit content in seconds using a single source photo. ScanErase assists in discovering intimate content created through face swap technology, revealing your exposure in the digital space.

Consumer face swap applications

Apps marketed as entertainment face swap tools, like Reface, FaceApp, and dozens of similar services, have legitimate uses. However, the same underlying technology is accessible through less regulated channels specifically designed for creating non-consensual intimate content. Some adult content face swap tools operate with no terms of service restrictions.

Legal coverage under AI regulations

AI regulations cover intimate content created through any AI face manipulation technology, including face swap applications. The rules apply regardless of the specific AI tool used to create the content.

Finding face-swapped content featuring your likeness

ScanErase's biometric scanning identifies face-swapped content across all 200+ covered platforms. The scan matches your facial biometric signature against 2.4 billion indexed face embeddings, identifying content regardless of body context.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a difference between a face swap and a deepfake legally?

No. The rules cover all AI-generated intimate imagery regardless of the specific technology used. Face swaps, deepfakes, nudify AI outputs, and other forms of synthetic intimate content all share the same guidelines.
