A deepfake is an image or video that has been manipulated to appear as something else. Typically, an AI is trained with a large dataset of videos or images on a certain subject or person, and it can recreate new content that uses the person's likeness. You can use deepfake apps to create fun videos to send to friends. This wikiHow will show you the best apps to create a deepfake using your computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

Note: Using someone else's image to create a deepfake without their permission is illegal in most jurisdictions. Non-consensual deepfakes can lead to legal repercussions, including jail time. Never use someone's image to create a deepfake without their permission.
