Quick Recast
The fastest way to swap faces in images and videos using pre-trained AI models.
Quick Recast is Recaster's streamlined face replacement tool. Unlike the traditional DeepFaceLab workflow that requires face extraction, training, and merging, Quick Recast uses pre-trained models to swap faces in a single step. Simply drag and drop your source face and target media, select a model, and click process.
Basics
Get started with drag-and-drop face replacement. Learn the interface, choose swap models, and generate your first result.
Video Processing
Process full videos with frame-by-frame progress, video trimming, audio preservation, and real-time preview updates.
Multi-Identity Mode
Map different source faces to different targets in the same scene. Automatic gender and age detection for smart matching.
Enhancement Options
Improve face quality with AI enhancement models. GFPGAN, CodeFormer, GPEN, and RestoreFormer++ with adjustable blend controls.
How It Works
Quick Recast uses a processing pipeline that orchestrates face detection, swapping, and optional enhancement in a single pass:
The pipeline automatically handles face detection in the target, embeds the source face identity, blends the result into the target frame, and optionally enhances the face quality. For video inputs, the pipeline processes every frame and preserves the original audio.
Key Features
- Drag-and-drop interface — No complex configuration. Drop your source and target to get started.
- Multiple swap models — Choose from InSwapper (Free), Ghost, or BlendSwap (Studio) depending on your quality requirements.
- AI face enhancement — Apply GFPGAN, CodeFormer, GPEN, or RestoreFormer++ to improve face quality after swapping.
- Video processing — Frame-by-frame processing with real-time preview and progress tracking.
- Multi-identity mode — Assign different source faces to different people in the same scene.
- Video trimming — Select a range of frames to process with a dual-handle range slider.
- Audio preservation — Original audio is automatically preserved when processing videos.
- Before/after comparison — Interactive slider to compare original and processed results side by side.
- Remote processing — Process on cloud GPUs with the Studio tier for faster results on large videos.
Available Models
Quick Recast supports several face swap models with different quality and speed characteristics. Models are automatically downloaded from Hugging Face on first use and cached locally for future runs.
| Model | Tier | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| InSwapper 128 | Free | General purpose, good quality |
| InSwapper 128-FP16 | Free | Faster processing, slightly lower quality |
| Ghost 1/2/3 | Studio | High-quality ArcFace-based swapping |
| BlendSwap 256 | Studio | Advanced blending, highest resolution |
