We’re excited to announce the new major release of FACEIO, the world’s easiest-to-integrate Facial Recognition SDK for web and mobile applications. Whether you're a developer building secure apps, a small business owner wanting frictionless login, or managing employee attendance, We have exciting updates, and FACEIO is the perfect solution for your use case.

This release brings enhanced passwordless login, real-time liveness detection, accurate age verification, and enterprise-grade on-premises biometric authentication.

Why FACEIO?

FACEIO lets you authenticate users using just their face—no passwords, OTPs, or captchas. Built with privacy and simplicity in mind, it’s ideal for:

• Web-based facial recognition login
• Biometric authentication for websites and apps
• Employee attendance tracking
• Online age verification with face
• Liveness detection and deepfake prevention

Now, with this release, FACEIO is even more powerful and secure.

What’s New in This Release?

✅ Liveness Detection API

Prevent spoofing and ensure every face is a real, live user. Our new liveness detection API uses motion, blink, and 3D cues to stop deepfakes and printed-photo attacks in real time.

✅ Age Verification SDK

Need to restrict content or features by age? Our age verification SDK instantly classifies users as minors or adults based on facial features, perfect for e-commerce, gaming, and community platforms.

✅ Improved Developer SDK

• New JavaScript SDK (@faceio/fiojs) is lighter and faster, and available via NPM.
• Simplified enrollment & authentication methods: fio.enroll() and fio.authenticate()
• Full documentation with live demos and examples
