Maskwave vs VoiceWave: hide your face, not just your voice
VoiceWave is a fun AI voice changer — 400+ effects, robot to celebrity. But even its video mode keeps your face on screen, and it's built for entertainment, not anonymity.
Maskwave hides your face and your voice together, in one tap, on recorded video, entirely on your own device — for a flat unlimited price. VoiceWave (by EaseUS) is an AI voice changer and voice generator: it applies creative effects to your audio, swaps the voice track on a video, and reads text in 180K+ voices — but it never hides your face, and even its video tool keeps the original visuals. If you want to actually be anonymous — face and voice both hidden — Maskwave is the VoiceWave alternative built for it.
VoiceWave changes your voice — Maskwave changes who you are
VoiceWave is an AI voice changer and generator. It records or imports audio and re-voices it with 400+ effects, swaps the voice track on a video, and turns typed text into speech across 180,000+ voices. It's fun, creative and genuinely good at that job: pranks, gaming, Discord, funny clips. But every one of those tools touches only audio.
Maskwave is built for a different goal — anonymity on recorded video. You shoot your rant, take or commentary, tap once, and get back a clip with a stylized avatar over your face and a disguised voice, both changed in the same pass. The name says it: mask is the avatar, wave is the voice.
Even VoiceWave's video mode leaves your face on screen
VoiceWave does have a video feature, but it's important what it actually does: it keeps the visuals and changes only the voice track. Your face is still right there on camera. For going truly faceless, that leaves three gaps:
- It never hides your face. There's no avatar and no face swap anywhere in the app — audio only. On camera, you're still you.
- It's about effects, not disguise. Robot, anime, horror and celebrity voices are made to be fun and recognizable — not to quietly make you unrecognizable.
- The voice and face are never handled together. There's no single pass that hides both — because VoiceWave only ever deals with the voice.
On-device vs. AI voices in the cloud
VoiceWave's AI effects and 180K text-to-speech voices are the kind of AI voice generation that runs on a server. Maskwave takes the opposite approach on purpose: the avatar and voice models run right on your own phone, so your footage never leaves the device. It's a privacy architecture, not a privacy policy — there's no server to trust because nothing is sent to one. That's also why Maskwave can be flat-rate and unlimited instead of metered.

Which should you use?
If you want to play with your voice — funny effects for a stream, a prank, a Discord call, or a text-to-speech voiceover — VoiceWave is a fun, capable tool. If you're making recorded video and you want to actually be anonymous — face and voice hidden, in one tap, nothing leaving your device — that's Maskwave. One is a voice-effects toybox; the other is a finished, fully anonymized clip.

FAQ
Does VoiceWave hide your face?
No. VoiceWave is a voice changer and AI voice generator — even its video feature keeps the original visuals and only swaps the voice track, so your face stays on screen. Maskwave hides both your face and your voice together, in one tap.
Is there a VoiceWave alternative that hides your face too?
Yes — that's what Maskwave is built for. Instead of only re-voicing your audio, it puts a stylized avatar over your face and disguises your voice in the same pass, on a clip you've already recorded, entirely on your own device.
Does Maskwave run on-device like a local voice changer?
Yes. The avatar and voice models run right on your phone, so your footage is never uploaded. VoiceWave's AI effects and 180K text-to-speech voices are cloud-generated; Maskwave keeps everything local — a privacy architecture, not a privacy policy.
Can I use VoiceWave and a face tool together instead?
You can, but that's two apps, two workflows, and the job of keeping the changed face and voice in sync. Maskwave does both hides in a single pass, on-device, for one flat price.
