This graphic shows the process used when creating a deepfake. The facial movement and major features are detected and put into a transformation matrix. The face shape is then refined and replaces the original.

This diagram displays how Gaussian blur, a result of deepfake facial alignment, occurs. Photo A is the original and photo B is the process of facial alignment. Photos C and D show the altered photo with Gaussian blur. Gaussian blur is a tell-tale sign of an altered photo or video.
