Your privacy is our priority. All facial tracking happens in real-time and we don't store your webcam footage. We only process the data needed to animate your character during your active session.

Images uploaded when creating an avatar from an image are also not stored on our servers, they are only used in transit to generate the final avatar.
Janus works best with a modern computer and a recent version of Chrome or a Chromium-based browser. A webcam with at least 720p resolution will give you the best results, though it works with any webcam. Since avatars render locally in your browser, a reasonably capable device will ensure smooth performance.
