Our Story

Founded in 2018, InsightFace started with a clear mission: to make state-of-the-art face analysis technology accessible to every developer and enterprise worldwide. Our ArcFace technology quickly became the industry standard for face recognition, and our InSwapper model established itself as the de facto standard for open-source face swapping — powering countless applications across content creation, entertainment, and enterprise solutions.

Today, InsightFace has grown into the most comprehensive open-source face analysis platform, with 28,500+ GitHub stars and deployments across 50+ countries. Our models consistently achieve top rankings in the NIST FRVT benchmark, and our technology powers both enterprise B2B solutions and our consumer platform Picsi.ai with over one million users.
