How it works

FaceTec is not a full verification service; it's the 3D face liveness and matching engine licensed inside many of them. Its SDK captures a short face video, builds a 3D face map, checks the person is live (not a photo, mask or deepfake), and matches to an ID photo or a previously enrolled face map. It's known for its public spoof bounty program.

You'd license it if you're building your own identity flow and want the strongest liveness component, or you'll encounter it inside another vendor's product.
