Live3D
Live3D is an all-in-one VTuber software suite built around AI. VTuber Maker delivers real-time AI face and motion tracking with a virtual camera for streaming, VTuber Editor customizes VRM models and animations, and the platform adds dozens of free AI tools — face swap, talking photo, anime generation, image upscaling, and more. Free tier available, with paid suites from $3.9 per month via Steam.
What is Live3D?
Live3D is a comprehensive AI-powered VTuber and digital avatar platform. Its core desktop software, VTuber Maker, is an AI motion-capture application that tracks facial expressions and head movement through a webcam or other devices, including hand tracking with Leap Motion, and drives a 3D avatar in real time for streaming. It outputs through a virtual camera for OBS, supports green screen and transparent streaming, and includes a Twitch extension for interactive stream effects. The companion VTuber Editor is a professional VRM model editor: creators load their own VRM models, customize them with props, paints, and backgrounds, edit 3D animations, emotes, sticker effects, and dance moves, and export ready-to-use assets. Beyond the desktop tools, Live3D operates an extensive web platform of AI tools organized into three categories: AI Photo (AI Face Swap, Multiple Face Swap, AI Clothes Swap, AI Talking Photo, AI Face Morph, AI Head Swap, Face Cut Out, AI Face Shape Detector, Face Expression Changer, AI Attractiveness Test, AI Hairstyle Changer, and more), AI Generator (AI Body Generator, AI Comic Generator, AI Manga Generator, AI waifu Generator, Anime to Real Life, AI Meme Generator, AI Body Swap, AI Gender Swap), and AI Image (AI Image Generator, Editor, Extender, Upscaler, Colorizer, AI Photo Enhancer, AI Watermark Remover, AI Image Combiner, and more). It also hosts a large free resource library of 3D models, backgrounds, overlays, animations, and poses. The suite pricing is subscription-based with tiers from a free suite to a $99.9 Pro suite, paid through Steam, with commercial-use allowances scaled by monthly revenue. The platform positions itself as an AI mocap animation software company, and the same account ties the desktop apps, browser tools, and asset library together, so creators can move from generating a character with AI tools to rigging and streaming it in one session. The free resource library and tutorial hub, including getting-started guides and a VTuber tutorial section, lower the barrier for newcomers, and the blog covers trends and updates for the VTuber and AI content space.

Who is Live3D for?
Live3D is built for VTubers, streamers, and digital content creators who want AI-driven avatars and image tools in one ecosystem. Aspiring VTubers use VTuber Maker to start streaming with a live avatar using only a webcam, with free public avatars and basic tracking. Experienced VTubers and model riggers use VTuber Editor to customize VRM models, add animations and emotes, and prepare professional-quality avatars. Twitch streamers use the virtual camera, green screen, and Twitch extension to add interactive effects to their broadcasts. Anime and manga fans use the AI generators to create waifus, comic pages, and stylized art. Social media creators use the AI photo tools for face swap, talking photos, and hairstyle changes for engagement content. Small studios and agencies producing avatar content commercially use the Plus and Pro suites for higher limits and broader commercial rights. Hobbyists on a budget use the free suite and the free AI tools, then upgrade through Steam when they outgrow the limits. Anime artists use the generators to explore character concepts and style variations without starting from a blank canvas. Content teams at gaming and entertainment brands experiment with avatar-based marketing and interactive streams. Tutorial creators and educators use the free tools to produce visual assets for videos and courses. Parents and young creators use the accessible free tier to try VTubing safely before committing to paid plans. Because the suite bundles streaming software, model editing, and web AI tools under one subscription, it also suits creators who want a single budget line for their entire avatar workflow rather than paying for several separate services.
