On every page you visit

News, reference, video, sport and everything else. If there is a portrait, 5iveHead will find it.

And on every call

The extension now works inside your video meetings. Open Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Webex and your camera is optimised before anyone sees it.

Nothing to set up

No virtual camera, no extra software. Join the call as normal and 5iveHead is already there.

Real time

Smooth video that follows you as you move, talk and look at your notes.

Private by design

Your video is processed on your device. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.

Always in control

Switch video calls on or off, or change level, from the toolbar at any time.

How it works

It runs quietly in the background and works on any website.

1

Browse as normal

5iveHead looks for portraits as pages load, including feeds that update as you scroll.

2

Portraits are optimised

Each portrait is processed on your device and replaced in place, at the level you choose.

3

Switch it off any time

Use the toolbar icon to change the level or restore the original portraits.

Install the developer preview

  1. Download and unzip the extension.
  2. Install Node 18 or newer, then run node setup.mjs in the folder. This downloads the face model files once, because Chrome extensions can't load code from the internet.
  3. Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, choose Load unpacked and select the folder.

Portraits are never uploaded. The preview works in Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers. A Chrome Web Store version is coming soon.

What we collect

This website does not use cookies or analytics, and we do not ask you to create an account. If you join a waiting list, we will store the email address you provide for the sole purpose of contacting you about 5iveHead.

Third-party services
