Why switch from Snap Camera to MorphMe Live?
AI instead of filters
Snap Camera used pre-built AR filters. MorphMe Live uses real-time generative AI — you can stream as literally any character by uploading a reference image. No more being stuck with the 20 filters Snap Camera shipped with.
Fullbody, not just face
Snap Camera only modified your face. MorphMe Live transforms your entire appearance — hair, clothing, body — using Decart Lucy 2. Stream as an anime character from head to toe.
No gaming PC required
Snap Camera ran locally on your GPU. MorphMe Live runs all AI processing in the cloud via WebRTC. Works on any modern Windows laptop — no NVIDIA card or gaming rig needed.
