What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.
Is Kapwing's Deepfake Maker free?
No, to make an deepfake video you need access to the Brand Kit, which is a Pro feature. A Brand Kit allows you to save characters, AI voices, fonts, colors, logos, and other branding elements for continued use. Upgrading to a Pro account also gives you access to the full range of AI-powered tools, including Upscale, Remove Background, and Clean Audio.
Is there a watermark on deepfake exports?
No, watermarks are not included in your video export. All exported media under a Kapwing Pro account is watermark-free.
Can deepfake content be detected and how can you tell?
It is extremely difficult for the average social media user to detect deepfake content — just 17% of people have completed Kapwing's AI Quiz which requires answering whether celebrity speeches are real or fake. Some of the most obvious giveaways are out-of-sync speech, inconsistent background details, unusual limb or face movements, video glitches, and blurring. Researchers, tech companies, and video experts use frame-by-frame analysis alongside deepfake detection software to help identify deepfake content and keep the internet a safe space.
Are deepfakes used globally?
Yes, deepfakes are gaining popularity worldwide. Kapwing analyzed global interest in deepfakes and found that South Korea (13,399), Czech Republic (11,356), and Sweden (10,443) were the only countries with over 10,000 deepfake-related searches per million people.
Can you swap video faces in Kapwing?
No, Kapwing's AI Deepfake Maker does not support face swapping between two videos, or between a video and an image. However, you can use Kapwing to swap faces between two images.
What file formats are supported?
Supported inputs include JPEG, PNG, MP4, and MOV. Videos you download from your Kai AI chat will be in MP4 format, and you can move to the Studio to export in MOV or WebM.
What is a deepfake video?
A deepfake video is an AI-generated clip where a person's likeness, voice, or lip movements are synthesized to deliver new content they didn't actually film. Modern deepfake makers like Kapwing use generative AI and lip-sync models to produce realistic talking-head videos from a reference image and a script — no camera, actor, or studio required.
Is it legal to make deepfake videos?
Making deepfake videos is legal in most countries when you have consent from the person depicted and you're not using the content for fraud, harassment, defamation, or non-consensual intimate imagery.
How long does it take to generate a deepfake?
Most deepfake videos render in under a few minutes, depending on script length and resolution.
Can I use my own voice in a deepfake video?
Yes. Kapwing lets you save a custom AI voice to your Brand Kit using "Brand Voices," so your deepfake character can speak in your own cloned voice. You can also use our library of stock voices from ElevenLabs.
Can Kapwing make deepfakes in other languages?
Yes. Kapwing's deepfake maker supports scripts in 40+ languages and can auto-generate translated subtitles, dubbed voiceovers, and lip-synced output.
Can I edit a deepfake video after it's generated?
Yes. Every deepfake opens directly in Kapwing's full video editor, where you can add subtitles, text overlays, freeze frames, B-roll, music, transitions, and your logo — then resize for any platform without exporting and re-importing into another tool.
